Its mind blowing just how cruel the human race can be.
Hello from Turkey... I'm about to cry... I knew it was a painful history but with this cartoon... I don't know...... It made me hate Japan even we have a great relationship. As a woman and also a feminist, I'm so angry and sad that you had to experience those tortures. I hope South Korea will be great from now. I wish the best for our sibling country.

The Japanese commentators on the linked Japanese newspaper? You can see how shameless these people are. The least they can do is teaching their own kids what they’ve done yet they deny the shits they did and instead do the victim blaming they are so good at. There’s no world peace if you don’t even admit your wrongdoings at the very least yet they claim Japan is all for world peace. Fucking hypocrites.

I appreciate it a lot.
The decedents of those men try to erase the history of what they did, but we know. Never forget!
Really, sorry of doing nothing .. really sad
인스타에 퍼가겠습니다 감사합니다
crazy Japanese
Fuck Japan. I hope no tourist will ever step a foot in that disgusting place.
Worse than Nazis, there is no justice in this world. I think it's important to end all wars because it cause these atrocities to become normalized.
so incredibly disturbing... the japanese must acknowledge their evil past! I wish absolute peace and health for all the comfort woman victims.
Japanese government said that "the girls became sexual slaves themselves."
Now
It is clear that I'll can NEVER find a way to understand the Japanese government.
Words cannot express the tragedy of this woman's life. Amazing and terrifying what humans have done to each other throughout history. Japan's history is filled with a certain barbarism, but it really isn't much different than any other nation's history. Remember that this took place in the 1920s. Japan is a much different place now. They don't even have a standing military and are strictly pacifists after coming to terms with their nation's bushido culture after the results of world war 2.
I see lots of western commenters here who have missed a major point of the comic - "Understand history or you will be doomed to repeat it." America and Europe have plenty of bloodshed in their histories as well, no country is entirely innocent. The sort of barbarism you see in this comic can still happen today, and in fact is happening, even in Western countries. Please keep this in mind if you intend to judge present day Japan after reading this story.
To the previous commenter:
"Amazing and terrifying what humans have done..."
"...isn't much different than any other nation's history"
"...western commenters here who have missed a major point..."
"...no country is entirely innocent"
"...if you intend to judge present day Japan after reading this story."
These are grotesque things to say. To try and excuse the enslavement, torture, and brutal rape of a 12 year old. To try and excuse your history. No one is judging the average Japanese going about their day, going to work, loving their family.
But to excuse your very real, and still very VERY living history? You don't get to do that, ever. Otherwise these wounds will never heal.
