This Chapter reminds me of 'Iwo Jima' & 'Flag of our fathers' .... Both depicift Unpleasant side of war from both Japan & American grunt perspective.

Aaand the chapter closed by a rainbow ... a brief peace before another storm.

I’m noticing how much larger the American’s been drawn in some of the frames, nice detail even if it’s not 100% to scale. Very possibly because the subjective “feel” of it is important.

Edit: e.g. page 8

It's interesting, but somehow this simple style makes it hit much harder... maybe because if it was more realistic or 'gritty' I wouldn't be able to read it? But it also doesn't attempt to make this combat seem "cool" or like an action scene. It's just arbitrary, and brutal. And being hit by the humanity of your enemy while in this kind of battle...

Really it's an amazing series.
