    • I've never finished a work of his and been disappointed. I don't expect I ever will.
'Our lives are like the wind... Or like sounds. We come into being, resonate with each other... Then fade away.' I really shouldn't be surprised at how much I enjoyed this book, but I guess it speaks to Hayao Miyazaki's immense talents that he can still surprise me. The man is a master. One of the most intensely creative minds that I know of, and up until now I had consumed his work only in his animated films. Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle.. Yeah, you've probably heard of him. Having never seen the movie adapted from this manga all the way through, I was excited to dive into a Miyazaki world with somewhat fresh eyes. Miyazaki has built a truly incredible world here, you get a sense of that from the very beginning; and his artwork brings it all to life in a way that only he can. One thousand years ago humanity engaged in a war termed the Seven Days of Fire which left the planet reeling and largely destroyed. As a result the world has been contaminated by the aptly titled Sea of Corruption -- a massive forest of poisonous spores and giant insects which thrives and spreads wherever the spores touch. Just one breath of these spores can kill, so the remnants of humanity have settled outside of the Sea's clutches, in areas where the spores cannot reach. One such area is the Valley of the Wind, home of our protagonist Nausicaa. And what a character she is. She who still feels the bond between humanity and nature, understands love for all living things even when the natural world has become a thrashing pool of hostility. She understands that the natural world will persist. It was there before human beings, and it will be there after. And she does anything and everything she can to protect it. This leads her on a wild journey through a war-ravaged country, and envelops her in secrets lost to humanity.. Speaking of the ravaging of war, Miyazaki fans will not be surprised to find a deep and complex relationship between two opposing sides; the Torumekians and the Doroks. Nor will they be surprised to find many satisfying aerial combat scenes (Miyazaki has a thing for fighter planes). The battle scenes in this book are surprising in their brutality and realism, even in a book with giant insects and telepathic power. Some of the panels do get a little busy and cluttered, but these moments are far outweighed by the beautiful and detailed artwork. Strong female characters are basically a Miyazaki trademark, so it is no surprise that the two best characters here are Nausicaa and Kushana. One who commands the love and respect of everyone around her, and one who demands the loyalty and adoration of the same. That is not to say that the other characters are negligible; Mito, Master Yupa, Asbel, Ketcha, Chikuku, Miralupa, Ohma.. Miyazaki instills personality into all of his characters. Even the small ones. I can't say enough good things about this book. It went right up on my favorites shelf and I'd already like to read it again, since I read 1000 pages of it and it still wasn't enough. Even the book itself is beautiful. I bought the complete edition on Amazon (for a very fair price) and it is gorgeous. It came in two hardcover book with their own slipcase, full color artwork on the cover and on the first few pages of each volume, and a two-sided poster of Nausicaa and Teto. It is well made and feels like it will last. Which is a good thing since I now want to force my friends to read it as well so it is sure to pass through many sets of hands. In summation and to cease my rambling, Hayao Miyazaki is a special creator. You owe it to yourself to not only read this manga, but to dive into his animated works as well. I've never finished a work of his and been disappointed. I don't expect I ever will. ... show more

    • A fascinating look at the world the film couldn't show
Okay, so, as a fan of Miyazaki, this has been on my wishlist for a while. Nausicaa isn't my favorite film of his. It's pretty good, definitely in the top tier of its work, but the movie has elements to it that feel incomplete. Given how long this comic is, it becomes apparent really quickly why that is. The movie is a really cut down and simplified version of just the first two chapters of the manga. Is the manga better than the movie? That's probably the wrong question to ask. Both versions have their strengths. The movie benefits from getting to the point faster. The characters are more clear about who they are up front and the story hits its heavy beats harder because of it. I also feel like Nausicaa's powers being left more vague in the movie works better overall. The Ohmu also feel a lot less human, though no less majestic in the movie because the movie omits their actual dialogue from the comic. This gives them a more commanding and implacable presence in the film than the manga ever gets. That said, the manga just has a better established mood. You have such a clear sense of the knife-edge humans are living on in the comic and the threat of the Sea of Corruption/Decay is felt so much more keenly. There's also a lot more information about the world, the various cultures that inhabit it as well as the creatures. Kushana, who was the main antagonist in the film, becomes much more of an uneasy ally as she sweeps up Nausicaa into her country's internal politics. Whether that part is better or worse than the film really feels more subjective, because the stories radically diverge and have very different aims. It's best to treat the two as separate things connected by a shared world. Overall it is definitely worth a buy if you love Miyazaki's work. I'm not 100% in love with every aspect of the story, but I wasn't with the movie either. They both have different strengths and different weaknesses, but inform each other in ways that make it a must have for Miyazaki fans. ... show more
