Ghibli Nausicaä Manga Complete Animage Comics Wide Edition Seven Volume Box Set

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is one of the most beloved of all Hayao Miyazaki’s films. Although it was technically completed before Studio Ghibli was established, Nausicaä is often regarded as the first of the films that Miyazaki would go on to produce with Isao Takahata in years to come. However, the genesis of Nausicaä’s production was a little different to how such future projects were destined to work. Following the success of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, Animage wanted to work with Miyazaki but rejected his movie ideas and wanted him to design a manga instead. The Nausicaä manga was then so successful they considered making a movie, which Miyazaki eventually agreed to on the condition that he could direct. Like many manga to anime projects, the manga was far from finished when the film was made and in fact only covers the first two of the collected manga volumes! Miyazaki’s manga was to run another 10 years, further deepening the rich mythology he had created for this post apocalyptic fantasy story set in a world ruined by war and pollution.This box set contains all seven collected volumes of the original Nausicaä manga (Japanese language version) in Animage’s wide editions. Perfect for those who want to relive the richly detailed world of Nausicaä’s epic saga as laid down by the master himself, this complete collection will provide an infinite amount of pleasure for years to come.
