This one's a quick volume. You can feel Nausicaa's sadness and despair and hope, too.

This is really a good volume, so many feels! Nausicaa is one of the best female lead I've seen so far.

Great wrapping up of Nausicaa's story. Get to see continued character growth from her as well as the many characters whose lives she touches.

Some interesting things happened in this volume, but not enough to make it a good read. It was pretty boring overall, too many battle scenes, and the best part about it is that I only have one more left to read!

I started reading this series with the assumption that I might read one a week, interspersed with other graphic novels, and it would be a pleasure to revisit a comic which has been a big influence on me and finally read it from beginning to end. I actually half-expected to not find it as mind-opening as I did the first time I read it, or the bits of it I was able to collect, in fact I assumed it wouldn't be - there's been a lot of ink under the bridge since the days of Ummagumma Comics in the printer's shop on Father Matthew Street in Cork. But here I am, rushing through it. Well, not even rushing, savouring it, admiring the craft and the imagery and more-pertinent-than-ever themes of ecological devastation and the survival of humanity, but definitely suspending all other activities to keep reading it through to the end.
Nausicaa is lost inside herself, under attack from the dark spirit of the Emperor's brother while the Emperor himself has captured Kushana and extorted a marriage agreement from her, while he prepares to deploy the recovered God Warrior, one of the things responsible for the Seven Days Of Fire that destroyed civilisation hundreds of years before. The Sea Of Corruption might be part of the great flow of life, but it is Nausicaa and her love for those that are alive now that can keep humanity from annihilation.
But the biggest, deepest, most terrible tragedy of all is that it turns out I don't have Volume 7 and must wait a day or even two before i can get it from the library. Weep, oh humanity, weep!
