THE WITHERED BRANCH ON THE CHERRY TREE
by Rafaél Salmerón
Description
Hiroshima, 1945: Ichiro and Masuji play in the streets just minutes before the atomic bomb is dropped on the city.
Present-day Hiroshima: Sakura, a teenager who was born with a malformed hand, struggles to cope with the cruel taunts of her classmates and the lack of affection and communication within her family. She believes that her mother doesn’t love her, and barely sees her workaholic father. Aiku, her virtual friend, lives in a different city and it’s not easy for them to meet in person. Her dream is to become a Manga artist, but she knows that this will never be.
However, Sakura’s life takes a turn when she crosses paths with little Tetsuo and an elderly survivor of the bombing who hides an important secret.
