Hokkaido releases manga comic to combat North Korean threat
by Justin McCurry in Tokyo from World news | The Guardian on (#35JJS)
Weeks after missiles overflew Japanese island, officials produce comic advising residents what to do in event of test launch
Schoolchildren take cover beneath their desks, while a farmer jumps out of his tractor and crouches face down in a field. Off the coast, the crew of a fishing boat hide behind their vessel's wheelhouse.
The characters are fictional, but they are playing out a scenario that in recent months has become frighteningly real: a North Korean missile strike.
