I’m currently reading the book series that Howls Moving Castle is based on and it’s so charming! Some big differences but I feel like the tone is similar. I’m curious what other good ones are out there based on other Ghibli movies.

    I guess… I have read the Nausicäa manga, which is my favorite work by Miyazaki. I would recommend it if you haven’t read it, the movie only covers about 1/4 of the manga.

    I also started reading Wizard of Earthsea, which I haven’t finished, but I have so far loved. Ursula is one of my favorite writers, but this is my first time delving into her fantasy work.

    Howl’s Moving Castle is on my to read list, hopefully I get to it one day!

      It’s funny, I just finished watching Nausicaa for the first time and it really felt like there was missing narrative. I loved it but I could tell there was more story missing. I’ll check it out!

      Also good tip about Earthsea. I have heard of a book before and it sounded good
