5 out of 5 stars
Exceptional Story, Art, Quantity and Quality
This big bad bundle has a huge amount of content, each page and panel being a lovingly made and carefully drawn glimpse into the immersive world of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. This boxset features 7 chapters spread through 2 large books, each chapter with ~160 pages. The pages are thick and black and white but at the beginning of each book there are lovely coloured drawings and artworks on 8 glossy pages. Also included is a gorgeous double sided water colour poster of Nausicaa that is roughly 1.5x the size of an A3 sized page.If you have only seen the movie and aren't sure if this manga series is just a retelling of the movie: the first chapter and half of the second is pretty much what takes place in the movie except with a few subtle changes and some really large ones, afterall the movie is *inspired* by the story of the manga with all the designs and characters being the same. Compared to how much of the manga is roughly shown in the movie I would say there is ~4 movies worth of content in this boxset.For those who want to delve into a good manga I cannot recommend this enough, I'm not much of a manga man but I absolutely adore the world of Nausicaa purely for it's presentation and the astonishing skill behind it. This manga really immerses you into this war torn and cataclysmic world that's tragedy is only redeemed by the amazing visuals and of course the personalities of the characters and their development.Attatched are some pictures of the box, poster, the glossy coloured pages at the start of each book and the books' covers.

5.0 out of 5 stars this thing's heavy
Reviewed in Australia on 17 February 2023
Verified Purchase
things to note:
- the books, when combined in the holder, calm a dog down much better than placebo.
- the books, when combined in the holder, weigh more than my tv.
- the books, when combined in the holder, require jaws of life to lift off of your hand.
- the books, when combined in the holder, can and will cause severe compression of your extremities, resulting in extensive damage to the associated limb and required amputation.

however, i'm sure it'll make for a good... "one-handed" read!

and yes, this whole review was to point out that Nausicaa is listed as #259 in Erotic Manga & Hentai!
huh? i love the stuff as much as the next guy, but... what?

Reviewed in Mexico on 8 September 2023

Complete Nausica collection in two amazing volumes + poster. The imagination and creativity going in this work is felt immediately, the art is beautiful and the edition in itself a piece of art. 5 stars. The only detail is the onomatopoeia are in Japanese but you understand the frames, I don't think is a big enough details as to take off a star.
