When I say it's sprawling, I mean that literally. It just sort of flows outward from its beginning. It starts strong and ends strong, but there's a whole lot of sprawl in the middle that felt a bit unnecessary. The art is gorgeous as you would expect from something hand-drawn by Miyazaki, but the storytelling isn't great. It's frequently muddled. If that sounds like blasphemy, keep in mind that even Miyazaki himself says it wasn't very good at manga storytelling (and if you doubt me, just read the afterward to this book!). Every bookworm preaches the same words: "If you liked the movie(s), you'll really like the book(s)". Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, however, takes this old adagio to an entirely new level. The movie captures but a sweet breeze of what this hurricane of a story really is. Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind" is one of my favorite movies ever. So it is with great humility that I say that I like the manga 20 times better than the movie. It's the most beautiful story I've ever read. I actually got goosebumps reading some parts. I would definitely put it in my list of top five favorite novels.But it didn’t make for a pleasant read for me. There was too much details in places and too much analyzing of a man’s life. Of someone who is still alive. It made me uncomfortable. There is also the underlying feeling of the situations depicted in this book that I might not like Miyazaki as a person. And I don’t think I’d like to take that way from this book. I’d rather watch his movies and not think about his person, instead appreciate his art and creativity.

As Miyazaki began pre-production on the film version of “Nausicaä” in 1983—though he would not complete the story to his own satisfaction until he finished the manga eleven years later—he was also wrapping up work on a watercolor manga called “ Shuna’s Journey,” about another child growing up in a deteriorating world. Like “Ponyo,” the book, published this week in its first English translation, by Alex Dudok de Wit, is an adaptation of a much older story. It is a reworking of a Tibetan folktale, “The Prince Who Turned Into a Dog,” about a prince who finds a magic grain to feed his starving people. The tale is commonly thought to be a metaphor for the momentous introduction of barley, which can survive the region’s biting cold, to the Tibetan plateau.

Additionally, Miyazaki's family had to evacuate from the city to the countryside during the war.

A richly illustrated journey through the extraordinary cinematic worlds of beloved filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki

See, I was expecting this to be more of a biography. It does have those elements and I did learn more about Miyazaki's life, but I was hoping for something more specifically about the man behind the movies, rather than just getting film criticism. The biographical elements are scattered here and there and, honestly, you don't learn much that you probably couldn't learn from reading his Wikipedia. For example, we don't get any more insight into his tumultuous relationship with his son. KAI-YOU.net (in Japanese). August 7, 2023. Archived from the original on August 7, 2023 .
