18-year-old Urano Suzu marries Hojo Shusaku and moves from Eba City to Kure City in Hiroshima Prefecture in the middle of the Pacific War. As Japan slides into a war it cannot get out of, the townspeople go on with their “ordinary” lives. Supplies are short, and family and friends get sent to the battlefield. Suzu and the Hojo family battle such anxieties as they try to live positively. (Source: jdramas.wordpress) ~~ Adapted from the manga “Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni” by Fumiyo Kouno. Edit Translation

Reviews
The setting of the drama is in Kure, a naval city in Hiroshima province. The story told about Suzu's and her new family life during the harsh time of WWII. (it touch a little bit about the Atomic bombing at Hiroshima). It was very interesting to see how the Japanese lived and what they felt during the war. Personally, I was born from a country which was used to be occupied by the Japanese. The textbook only taught about one side view of the war. Being the oppressed or the occupier. It was interesting to see it from the other side of the view and learn that no one wants to go to war and war really does not benefit anybody (the one who starts always is the person from the above not the people).
I'm not very familiar with the casts. But they sure did a wonderful job. The act feels really natural and the story is not being forced at all. I can say very confidently that even if you read the manga, you won't be disappointed or being bored with this drama.

Please watch this drama!!
This is a beautiful story that tells what people were before, during and after war, what they went through and what happened with the Hiroshima bomb focused of Suzu’s family and neighbors. The acting, the writing, the soundtrack, the way it was directed everything is beautiful and well done! I recommend it, please give it a try, maybe the first episodes are slow but it goes smoothly with many interesting things happening until the end!I give this 10/10
I would also like to add that every character is well written and acted!
