Manga Used By US Navy

Wow..!! that’s news..!  I knew Manga was read and collected by people outside of Japan.. but i didn’t think that it was anything the US government would use it for to promote the US Naval Forces based in Japan.  I heard that the U.S. Navy plans to give away thousand of copies to help dismiss and educate the people in Japan and to eliminate fears and safety concerns.

The manga is named after the carrier’s number CVN73 and it actually tries to show what a young U.S. sailor of Japanese descent, Jack Ohara who is put to task in several mission on this carrier and what he goes thru’ and some of his daily routine. Credits for the manga goes to two Japanese cartoonists.. Hiroshi Kazusa and Harumi Sato.
