Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 2 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)

I am fairly late to Nausicaa, having only seen the movie about 10 years ago. I find it a compelling story about what humans do to destroy their environment, even in decline. Anyway, I bought the book on a whim, thinking it would be a recap of the movie. Wrong: this is a much more detailed and different storyline. It answered some things that seemed to be missing from the movie, and creates a much richer world.I definitely like Nausicaa's impressive martial abilities, juxtaposed by her peaceful nature. The airships are almost Victorian science fiction, with lots of technology that can't be replicated anymore. The noble folks rising to meet their oppressors is something we can learn from.A bargain at ~$9 per volume, I am going to collect the whole shooting match. Great stuff.

This is the manga that got me hooked on Japanese manga/anime!! The first time I became interested in japanime and managa was when I saw what was then titled "Warriors of the Wind", released by Orion in 1984. I was blown away!! Without the benefit of a internet at the time, I began researching this new form of entertainment coming out of Japan. Since then, I proudly tell my friends that I am an Anime/Manga freak. I am constantly on the lookout for new mangas and animes that come to these shores. LONG LIVE HAYAO MIYAZAKI AND ANIME/MANGAS!!!!

Great quality and fast delivery thanks!

Great story and art

I got this as a gift for my brother and he was thrilled. It covers more of the story and explains more than the movie. He couldn't put it down.

Great

Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece and wonderfully printed in this edition. Nicely set up in in a naturalish brown ink print and in the traditional right to left reading format.

This books are beyod any expectation I have had, the dialogues, the draws, the mood and the characters, everything is amazing.

The collection of 7 books that make up the Nausicaa collection are fantastic. I read them all in about two days as once you start them you cannot stop. The paper quality is a bit low, but what can you expect for the price. You get the full story, plus it has additional stuff to the film and more depth. This shows off Miyazaki's amazing drawing skills and his ability to weave a story with a message is renowned. This has strong environmental themes and manages to make a point without ramming it home. You have to read these in the traditional Japanese way (I.e. back to front from a western perspective) but this only adds to the charm and overall experience. A brilliant intro to Miyazaki's anime.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

very happy with the service you provide. solid.

Lovely book my Daughter is mega into Studio Ghibli and especially loves Nausicaa, she loved it will definitely order more

Está es la segunda parte y el arco hasta donde llega la película. Definitivamente vale la pena si quieres descubrir en que termina la historia que no se cuenta en la película.

This is were the manga starts to deviate from and become much richer than the film, which in hindsight was pretty limited.
