This was a great continuation of the previous volumes 
it felt like alot of build up for later volumes but still a great read and i love Miyazaki's artwork as always.

I can't wait to read more of this series and see what happens next 
For anyone who loved the movie this volume  starts to really expand the world seen in the movie and introduces new factions and new characters

When I first watched Warriors of the Wind, I fell in love with the story (I even have it on VHS). Then they remade it and the story changed. I loved it even more. But the graphic novels are far beyond my expectations. I am not use to reading GN, much less reading from right to left, so this is a wonderful challenge.
I am very happy that I have taken the time to read the novels though, as the story is so much deeper than just the anime.

Things are picking up in terms of plot... the battle of Sapata at the end of the book had lots of great twists!

This volume is a quick read, focused mostly on the horrors of battle, which it captures well. The end is a gut punch.

This is seriously getting more interesting and exciting with every volume, which is weird for me cause normally I don’t care for action war stories. The movie only covered up to volume 2 and now I’m wishing that the movie got a sequel or just that this got a series instead of a movie because DAMN this is so interesting and I would love to see it animated.
