I watched all of Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's movies and Nausicaä always had an interesting look.

The visuals were great and the story interesting - people surviving in an era of pollution and giant insects, all sprinkled with that Ghibli magic, with fantasy creatures and warm human faces.

My next stop was Miyazaki's manga he did for the movie. I always liked a deluxe, hardcover edition so my boyfriend surprised me with a gift :). From then on I couldn't put it down.

I was surprised on how the story is differently told in manga and how little of it the movie covered. Bloody scenes of war and death are gruesome at times and theme is serious. Something I definitely wouldn't expect from Miyazaki so I was intrigued :)

Scenes can swell with emotion, written not only in words but on character faces so it is impossible not to think of each of those unique characters after setting down the book. A recommendation to all Ghibli and book lovers, in search of a satisfying journey through a book.
