This gripping historical novel is set on the tiny island of Saipan, which the Japanese had long governed, near the end of World War II. Thirteen-year-old Joseph, the son of a local village chief, and his half-Japanese best friend, Kento, have their loyalties tested when U.S. troops arrive and one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific war is fought. Caught in the crossfire between the Americans and Japanese, the boys learn what it really means to be a warrior. The novel is based on historical facts, and an afterword describes the real-life account of what happened on Saipan--the unimaginable horrors of what is now called Suicide Cliff.

About this title

Synopsis

A depressed salaryman must fight for his life in an intergalactic battle royal–but instead he teams up with his fellow weaklings to turn the tables!

Hitomu is a young salaryman with a monotonous life until he is transported to another world. Now he’s forced to fight to the death in an interdimensional gladiator tournament!

After losing repeatedly, Hitomu is set against four weakling opponents. But instead of fighting them, he escapes, breaking out his fellow “losers” with him: a ghost boy, a slime girl, a useless robot, and a bug monster. Now fugitives on a hostile planet, the motley crew must rely on each other to survive!
