“Battle Scars” is a collection of three stories about Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The first is about Matya, describing the war through the eyes of a child.
The second is about Olena, based on the true story of a girl who “experiences the invisible scars of the Russian-Ukrainian war”.
The third is the story of Ukrainian soldiers, one of whom is a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, known by his call-sign Grandpa Shinobi.
""Battle Scars" is a story of people who can never be forgotten, and I hope it will remain in everyone’s hearts,” wrote manga author Kobayashi Niki.
