Synopsis

In 1945, the second and third-year students of a Hiroshima girls' school are taken away to work in war factories. The remaining 220 girls of the first year try to make the best of their new-found status as the only teenagers in an almost deserted town, even amid the deprivations of wartime. On the 7th of August, an American bomber changes their lives forever. Broadcast on the 43rd anniversary of Hiroshima in memory of "the girls who lost their lives to the atom bomb." (Source: Anime Encyclopedia)

Background

Based on the diaries left by the students of Dai-ichi Hiroshima Prefectural Girls High School, the program illustrates their fleeting youthful days and how they had felt joy in becoming high school students even in a time of war with animated scenes, while documenting the profound sorrow of the bereaved families.
