With Monday marking the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a book for junior high school students in Japan is gaining attention for explaining why wars occur in an easy-to-understand way with manga and other illustrations.
The book, titled "Bokura wa Senso wo Shiranai" (We Don't Know Wars), was released for libraries last year by publishing company Gakken.
