Grave of the Fireflies

I don't think I would ever get bored of reading historical fiction which has the theme of war. This was recommended to me by my sister who used to think that an anime movie couldn't make her feel deep emotion(hate excluded) but after watching the movie she was so impressed by it that she bugged me so much for watching it. I am not a big fan of watching movies and I know behind every excellent movie there's a book on which it was based. So I found this semi-autobiographical short story and omg it was so much sad and heartbreaking that Even my robot-like brain was malfunctioning with grief and sadness (I'm kidding, I am actually very empathetic). It certainly doesn't help that it was semi-autobiographical too. All of these stories remind me every time that how wars destroy the lives of people who were the most passive about taking any decisions about them. Things that drew my attention most were -their sibling bond and how the timeline of the story was reversed so we already know what's going to happen at the end, how maturely Seita acted (despite being so young himself)to keep him safe.The compatibility of the title. I wish I knew enough Japanese to read this story in its original version. No thoughts, only sadness :sadpeace:
