If so, where does the manga fit in? I don't know. What's above
A++++? Let me put it this way. If you have not read Nausicaä manga,
you might as well not have read any manga. I can throw words like
"superb," "magnificent," "phenomenal," etc., but those words won't mean
anything to people who have not read this work. I am ashamed of myself
for putting off reading this for so long.
I'm not going to talk about the manga in more detail because there're
many other resources on-line, such as
Nausicaa.net.
There're many translated versions available in many languages. I
highly recommend you pick one and buy the whole thing if you have not
read it yet. For English readers, ISBN1-56931-348-2 is the boxset of
the "perfect collection." I am personally going to preorder
ISBN1-59116-523-7, which is the boxset of the "Second Edition," also
known as the "Editor's Choice Edition," to be released in September
2004. Heck, I might even try to pick up Korean version, too, as well
as the higher quality 2-volume Japanese version.
