Book Description: Nausicaä finds herself on the edge of despair as she comes to realize the full extent of the ecological destruction that's ravaging Earth. Meanwhile, Queen Kushana of Torumekia plots to lead her troops back to the imperial capital and seize the crown. Nausicaä agrees to join Kushana and her people in the fight against the Doroks and her scheming brothers.
Captivating Nausicaa is clearly the best of Miyazaki's movies, and, surprise, surprise, the books are even better than the movie. The books add considerable depth to Nausicaa's character and present a more complex story line.
My only complain is that the English version does not have the colorful book jackets found on the otherwise identical Japanese edition, which makes the English version seem a bit cheap by comparison. But it's a minor quibble.
Much better than animated film. Miyazaki's graphic novels are MUCH better than the animation. More depth and better story resolution. Visually stunning with tremendous thought and meaning.
