Princess Mononoke Film Comic, Vol. 1

By Hayao Miyazaki

Book Overview

Raised by wolves and calling the forest her home, a young girl by the name of Princess Mononoke is the only one who can save the planet!

It was the Age of Iron: a time when mankind was just starting to understand its ability to exploit the earth and all its natural resources. But a war was brewing--a war between a village of iron miners and the animal gods of the surrounding forest.

Marked with the curse of a rampaging boar god, young Ashitaka sets off on a journey to cure his mysterious affliction. Little does he know that the fate of the entire world is now resting on his shoulders!

Wonderful Graphic Novel Of Wonderful Movie!

This is one of my favorite movies from one of my favorite film makers. It is a wonder to behold and these graphic novels - in full color, help recreate the movie in a wonderful way. I like them for the students in my class and they read them again and again. My kids are learning English so they are very excited about these books and it makes them easy for the students to read. Highly recommended.
