What an incredible story. Encompasses so many highs and lows, hope and despair. It especially doesn't shy away from death and humanity's faults. Nausicaä's qualities of resilience, compassion, and selflessness are even more admirable and impactful because of this. Miyazaki truly is a master of storytelling.
This being my first manga means I don't exactly have a basis of comparison regarding writing quality and whatnot within the medium. But I'm certain it's going to be hard to top this extraordinary tale. Breathtaking art too. I love Nausicaä so much. One of the most insirpational characters I've come across in fiction. I'm gonna revisit this manga many times in the future.
