It's a lot more accessible than most of Kawaguchi's extremely nationalistic works. Though this is one too, there's more of a focus on human drama. Which makes it enjoyable for someone like me who's anything but patriotic or politically involved.
Still, it's an acquired taste as any. Very un-manga-like style and not the most playful series.

It's a really great survival story about what happens after Japan gets hit by a national disaster.. it's really powerful and touching, just read it. You won't regret it.
