In this drawing released by Kazuto Tatsuta /KODANSHA, the main character in comic-artist Kazuto Tatsuta's comic “1F: The Labor Diary Of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant" goes through the daily routine to put on a protective suit and mask before starting his work at the tsunami-crippled plant shattered by meltdown. Tatsuta worked at the plant that suffered three meltdowns after the 2011 tsunami from June to December 2012 in part because he was struggling as a manga artist, but “1F” is his biggest success yet. The opening episode won a newcomer award and was published last year in Morning, a weekly manga magazine with a circulation of 300,000. (AP Photo/Kazuto Tatsuta /KODANSHA)

In this Monday, March 24, 2014 photo, comic-book artist Kazuto Tatsuta draws the main character in his comic "1F: The Labor Diary Of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant” in his studio outside Tokyo. First off, no one who works at Japan’s wrecked nuclear power plant calls it Fukushima Dai-ichi, Tatsuta says in his book about his time on the job. It’s ichi efu, or 1F. Tatsuta worked at the plant that suffered three meltdowns after the 2011 tsunami, and will take decades to decommission, from June to December 2012 in part because he was struggling as a manga artist, but “1F” is his biggest success yet. “I just want to keep a record for history. I want to record what life was like, what I experienced,” he said. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
