Japanese manga author to publish a story about Ukrainian volunteer and AZOV battalion veteran
The upcoming release of a story about a Ukrainian volunteer and veteran of the AZOV battalion Bogdan with the call sign “Did Shinobi" (Grandfather Shinobi) has been announced by Japanese manga author Kobayashi Niki in his Feb. 20 X (Twitter) post.
It is called “Battle Scar – Shinobi” and is based on the words of a Ukrainian defender.
The manga is scheduled for release in the summer of 2024, with English, Ukrainian and Russian translations expected in August, according to the re-post from Did Shinobi.
This is not Kobayashi Niki's first work about Russia's war against Ukraine. Last March, he published Battle Scar, a manga about children's perceptions of the invasion.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
