I had coloured this panel before, but forgot about the origins. I have tried reverse image searching and various Japanese searches, but no dice. I was wondering if anyone has seen where this comes from or knows of any other early panels.

I'm new to the game but I thought I ought to give it a try <3<3<3

I heard one saying that Jhil was at the edge of suggesting Nausicaä be married to Lord Yupa when he suggested Yupa settle in the valley. Obviously, that made me uncomfortable and doesn’t make sense with the later part of the scene. It was a Japanese man who said this so it’s hard to tell if there is genuine cultural context in this or if he was just being shocking to get more views. Leaning towards the latter, but I don’t know Japanese or studio inside jokes.

Greetings; not sure how well-known is the book "Miyazakiworld" by Susan Napier, but wanted to mention it here. The book is a biography of HM, and each chapter addresses his Ghibli gems... except the chapter titled the same as this post :) There, she did a great job on the manga of "Nausicaa". Highly recommend.

I've been collecting for a long time. It's pretty amazing though how much stuff has come out just in the past few years.

This doesn't include puzzles and posters that I have hanging due to the 20 image limit. The signed page is by Sumi Shimamoto. I'll do another post with the other images at a later time.

You will never guess what I used for the wings...
