@ryo If you do find any prose, I'd love it if you could remember to tell me. I looked through my booklog, and found I have almost no Jap WW2-related ones other than John Okada's (The?) No-No Boy, which isn't focused on the war, but has observations of the sentiments of normal Americans toward Japanese or Asians in Seattle (or some west coast town), along with how those felt about the war; Kenzaburo Oe's Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids follows a few kids in the aftermath of WW2;
Looking through my >2e5 audiobookbay rss feed, these kind of stand out, some Japanese, some Japanese American, some American (I tried to not include ones hinting at victory bias or war glorifying), so these are possibly of interest:
Midway: The Battle that Doomed Japan. Mitsuo Fuchida, Masatake Okumiya.
(Funnily there's also Saipan: <same>, but by an English-named author)
Bridge to the Sun: The Secret Role of the Japanese Americans Who Fought in the Pacific in World War II. Bruce Henderson, Gerald Yamada.
The Pacific War Uncensored: A War Correspondents Unvarnished Account of the Fight Against Japan. Harold Guard, John Tring.
Japan 1941: Countdown to Infamy. Eri Hotta.
Perhaps the severe lack of Japanese literature is due to Japan losing the war and the several generation-long anti-war, anti-violence, anti-firearm attitude, that people would rather not read about it? Kenzaburo and 1 or 2 others received the Nobel for lit in the 20. century, so you could check their bibliographies out. Also, try asking a librarian, they're somewhat knowledgeable.

@ryo There is no one truth, especially when it comes to history, it's speculation and interpretation, when scholars, or just reasonable, logical people, agree that documents and evidence support one claim over another, then it could tentatively be called a truth.
Are there no neutral (not imperialistic/nationalist/Marxist) writings from that age..? The US had a quite a lot of writers from ww2, who'd seen some action, likewise with other countries, though to a lesser degree, since they actually fought.

@ryo Fetus or foetus? Abandonned spelling. You're skirting the issue of English being a promiscuous language, borrowing from Classic, Vulgar, Medieval Latin, Old and Modern French/Dutch/German/etc., etc.; not using calques (like the Nips do, mostly), but rather having sometimes up to 4 differently spellt words comming from the selfsame Latin root. Which itself is devilishly close to the one about English spelling, and how shit it can be.
roricon itself isn't much better, coming form a psychological or psychiatric term, comming from a proper noun, Lolita, itself from a novel, being through usage turnt into a common one; and complex. And an omitted 'sufferer/haver'.
Fun fact: <spoiler>

@ryo The official Freemasons and Illuminati are societies anyone can/could join, so long as they pass the requirements and or initiations. I'd bet they've done more for society on a weekday than any of the Davos-type giganigga rich Marxists since the 1850s, attempting to subjugate the stupid, weak, and poor.

@ryo I guess I should be lucky to only have read about the posters and government-sponsored artwork in China, North Korea and Russia.
I honestly cannot see how a dyed hair, obese and otherwise extremely mentally and physicall unhealthy, bugeating, experimental-medical-treatment-receiving blob would be appealling outside a group setting (first person to stop clapping is the scapegoat).

@ryo You're obviously jumping over all parts where Central Planning resulting in famine 1e7 in Ukraine (Holodomor), 2e7 in China (Cultural Revolution, kill all swallows), and the Great Famine in North Korea; the first years are always nice to look at, but they're for show only; just like it failed in China and all countries that followed in its wake for sarscov2.
Marxism is and has always been gigacringe ideology and religion for children, that is, stupid, naive, trusting, obedient people.
