When I first watched Warriors of the Wind, I fell in love with the story (I even have it on VHS). Then they remade it and the story changed. I loved it even more. But the graphic novels are far beyond my expectations. I am not use to reading GN, much less reading from right to left, so this is a wonderful challenge.
I am very happy that I have taken the time to read the novels though, as the story is so much deeper than just the anime.

Things are picking up in terms of plot... the battle of Sapata at the end of the book had lots of great twists!

This volume is a quick read, focused mostly on the horrors of battle, which it captures well. The end is a gut punch.

This is seriously getting more interesting and exciting with every volume, which is weird for me cause normally I don’t care for action war stories. The movie only covered up to volume 2 and now I’m wishing that the movie got a sequel or just that this got a series instead of a movie because DAMN this is so interesting and I would love to see it animated.

This one was a little heavy on the battles and a little light on plot, it seemed; nothing seemed like it wasn't necessary for later plot development, it's just that this particular volume was a little dull compared to the ones that came before. It's all even richer and more interesting than the film, though.

Inhaling this because it's manga, and because it's awesome. Not enough time today, I don't think, to finish off book four, but this story's absolutely beautiful.
