100th/442nd Manga/Comic Book

Visual Art – Honolulu

Comprehensive, historically accurate 30 page manga about the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most highly decorated unit in US military history. The 100th/442nd RCT was a segregated army unit of WWII, made up of Japanese Americans. Most were originally from Hawaii. They were discriminated against because of their ethnic heritage, but fought and died to prove their loyalty to their country, the United States of America. They were not wanted and not trusted, but soon won the respect and admiration of others with their extraordinary guts, fighting prowess, commitment to each other, and humanity. Their story is the story of America. * The artist at the RAW event will be Stacey Hayashi, the author of the manga/graphic novel.
