Summary
Japan is hit by a series of monumental natural disasters that leave
the country fragmented and its people devastated.
Follow the lives of its citizens as they deal with massive emigration to refugee camps on
the Asian mainland and try to solve the political task of rebuilding their nation.
A Spirit of the Sun is also a retelling and melding of
two well-known stories in Japan.
The setting is directly lifted from
the early ’70s disaster science-fiction book and movie
“Nippon Chinbotsu,” (Japan Sinks) while many of
the characters are allegorical to the key players in
the Eastern classic “Sangokushi” (The Three Kingdoms).
Sangokushi aficionados may discover greater entertainment by watching
the characters in A Spirit of the Sun closely to spot these resemblances.
From Kaiji Kawaguchi, the author of Silent Service,
Eagle and Zipang (as well as the artist for Confession).
A Spirit of The Sun received
the 2006 Shogakukan Manga Award for
the seinen/general category along with
