In Volume 9: Gen continues to confront one setback after another —the loss of his home, the death of a friend —when a chance encounter gives new direction to his life.

An impoverished but talented artist takes Gen under his wing and teaches him to paint. Inspired by the artist's assertion that art has no borders, Gen vows to become an artist himself, and takes a job as apprentice to a local poster painter.

Despite merciless bullying from his boss and the older apprentices, Gen perseveres in the pursuit of his new calling.

«Some of the best comics ever done... Nakazawa, I'm sure, will be considered one of the great comic artists of this century.»
Robert Crumb

«Gen effectively bears witness to one of the central horrors of our time. This vivid and harrowing story will burn a radioactive crater in your memory that will never let you forget it.»
Art Spiegelman

«Nakazawa's graphic presentation of what it was like to survive the atomic bombing of Hiroshima should be required reading for all citizens, beginning with the President. Perhaps then we might gain the maturity to stop such madness.»
Hunter and Amory Lovins, Friends of the Earth
