The horror in post-bombing Hiroshima is captured in black-and-white photos of the city and its beleaguered survivors.

But Taeko Tada, whose mother survived the U.S. atomic bombing at the age of 5, has a different take on the tragedy. Her self-published manga focuses on the happier faces of women who let go of their pain, decided to forgive and helped to rebuild the city.

"The Hiroshima Miracle: Hiroshima is in the Pink!" uses the color pink on its cover to depict the hibakusha experience as one of hope and joy.
