  涙が止まりませんでした。
  I couldn't stop crying.
  印税が寄付になると知り、勇気を出して購入。何も出来ず、日々増えていく死者数や行方不明者数、おさまらない余震に怯えていたことが蘇りましたが、この作品はそれぞれ希望がある終わりになっています。あの日から6年経過し、世間から東北震災の記憶が薄れていくような怖さを感じていました。実際に取材をされた作家さん達の苦悩もしのばれますが、忘れないという戦い方もあるということを改めて教えて頂きました。

  I learned that royalties would be a donation, so I gathered up my courage to buy it. I couldn't do anything, and the fact that I was frightened by the number of deaths and missing people that were increasing day by day, and aftershocks that didn't subside came back to life, but each of these works came to an end where there is hope. Six years had passed since that day, and I felt afraid that memories of the Tohoku earthquake were fading from the world. The pains of the writers who were actually interviewed were also revealed, but I was told once again that there is also a way to fight by not forgetting.

  現実を知るには良いかも
  Maybe it's good to know reality
  実際に体験した人の話が漫画で書かれていると伝わり易いと思います。ただ、一つ一つの話が短いような。もう少し細かく描いてるのが読みたかったし知りたかった。そして、ページ数の割にかなり高いなと思いました。ページ数で言えば半額くらいが妥当。

  I think it's easier to convey when stories of people who have actually experienced it are written in comics. However, each story seems short. I wanted to read the one that was drawn in a little more detail, and I wanted to know. And I thought it was pretty expensive for the number of pages. In terms of number of pages, about half price is reasonable.
