*A Smart and Courageous Child 「*かしこくて勇気ある子ども」from artist Miki Yamamoto 「山本 美希」is an award winning manga (won the Media Arts Plaza Excellence Prize in 2020) originally published on the internet on a web manga anthology aimed at a Josei (women) audience. It has an unusual art style that looks more like an indie American comic than most manga and even has some color in its art.

Every young couple has high hopes for their unborn child, and Sara and Kouta Takano are no different. But only days away from giving birth, Sara learns about the tragedy of Malala Yousafzai's attempted assassination at the hands of the Taliban, and her pure and innocent belief in the future is shaken. If such a smart and courageous child can be hurt so badly by the world, how can she keep her own baby safe? With Sara now in a state of shock, will the young couple be able to bridge the widening gap between them, or will it tear their family apart?

The reality of this world, as seen through the eyes of an author that has spent years illustrating the women and their lives.

With the assistance of bird-like aliens, the birds of Earth gained increased intelligence in 1975 and began to attack humans.
