Pros & Cons
Pros
Finished hayao miyazaki's manga nausicaä of the valley of the wind. Now available with a better translation, uncut, and without renaming the main character. The art in this manga is the best i’ve ever seen.
The books themselves are just perfect. They are both hardcover and the paper is much thicker than a traditional manga. I already own the old paperback four volume edition with the slip-case (from like 2001 i think), but that was a flipped version.
There's no reason to deny oneself the pleasure of owning and enjoying a timeless classic like this. The box is sturdy and attractive in its own right. The quality of the slipcover box is top notch and very durable.
It expands on and improves the animated version. It gives a real heft to the graphic novels. There's humor splashed in with the action, and the wonder.
Nausicaa is the most realistic character i've ever seen with a very wide range of emotions that all have the backstory to be there.
Cons
Black and white panels are hit and miss. Just disappointed at the quality of the printing. If your thinking of buying this just know there's a chance it could show up like this.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the product is outstanding.
This is the best purchase i’ve ever made on amazon.

While rare, i have seen this in store, for over double the price listed here on amazon.
Shipping
The product came in fast and was in great condition!
The one lost star should be blamed for the international delivery process, i guess.
The company i purchased from took two months to get it to me and it came damaged like this and a hole in the package.
I did received my item, though about 5 days late.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging, binding, and printing are very high quality.
Box was a bit scratched up but can’t expect to be perfect overall i’m happy now i got this great story in my collection.

This came wrapped so nice in the box.
Competitiveness
I am also indeed implying that the manga version of nausicaä is superior to the film adaption.
If you enjoyed watching the nausicaa movie and were curious how it compares to this set, boy have i got news for you.

While shuna’s journey was short and sweet nausicaä’s tale is long and epic

Always sad when your book arrives already damaged

The allegories will only increase in poignancy over time as this tome inevitably ends up the nexus of some chitinous cult in the distant future
