Comic Showa-shi is a historical manga that uses supernatural elements to chronicle Emperor Hirohito's reign during one of Japan's most turbulent periods. The story kicks off with the devastating 1923 Tokyo Earthquake and follows the chaos that ensued—financial collapse, the Great Depression, political violence like the March 15th Incident—all the way through to the 1931 Manchurian Incident. It's basically a ghost story framing device to explore nearly a decade of economic crisis and social upheaval in early Showa-era Japan.
