HOWL AND SOPHIE MY BELOVEDS. Honestly how's moving castle is one of my favorite studio ghibli film so to read this little comic was a delight! I love them sm.
</spoiler with the entire film being a time loop to be able to read it & see all the clues hinting to the loop it was amazing. I was kicking my feet anytime I seen howl and Sophie together.

*There may be spoilers in this review but big ones will be marked.*

Again, this was awesome and i'm really sad that it's finished! I might have to go and read the origional story by [a:Diana Wynne Jones|4260|Diana Wynne Jones|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1193516584p2/4260.jpg]. Which I haven't done yet and probably should have.
Spoiler and also what happened with Turnip head? I didn't really understand how suddenly he turned back because his 'true love kissed him' but she was always in love with Howl? When he mentioned that 'hearts always change' it confused me more because then it meant that once upon a time Sophie was in love with him and she wasn't. It's probably really obvious too haha, and I just can't figure it out.
I love Heen! I think he's so cute!!
Spoiler and I really would have liked if Sophie's hair went back to (brown?) it's origional colour at the end of the book. Even if it did keep short.

Also, I found it a bit unrealistic how Madam Suliman just stopped the war in a second but the again it's a kids story so I'm not going to look to much into it haha.


I really, really did like this though. The pictures are amazing and they picked just the right frames to put into the comic. I really want to read some of Hayao Miyazaki's other manga/graphic novels now :)

Wonderfully done. I love the movie and these books offer you the opportunity to take a closer look and to enjoy the power of the pictures with their fascinating details and wonderful colors.

Lige så god som jeg havde forventet. Selvom det godt nok er ved at være noget tid siden jeg har få set filmen, men jeg overvejer kraftigt at gense den.
