44 Years Later, Studio Ghibli Brings Back Hayao Miyazaki’s Classic Manga

I’m a huge Miyazaki fan, and while everyone knows his incredible anime films, a lot of people don’t realize he’s also a talented manga artist! He actually wrote and illustrated Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind back in 1982, which he then turned into the amazing film we all love in 1984. It’s special because it was made before Studio Ghibli was officially founded – it came out of Topcraft! And it really is one of his masterpieces. The manga ran until 1994, and now, after 44 years, they’ve re-released a beautiful two-volume deluxe edition – I couldn’t be more excited!
