“Critics Choice: 2011's Best Manga As Chosen by Comics Critics” / About.com - Manga / Deb Aoki / January 2, 2012
1. Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths - 15 critics' lists
Author/Artist: Shigeru Mizuki
Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly
"Mizuki’s powerful counterpoint to America’s enduring love affair with World War II doesn’t belittle America or make the Allies look disreputable. Even as American bullets rip through Mizuki’s characters, the true villains remain the Japanese leaders who send their men to pointless deaths. "
- Garrett Martin, Paste Magazine
