Really beautiful illustrations with a story that left me needing more explanation. Luckily the afterword and author notes expand on that some.

A short, yet rich story. It's filled with a lot of the same ideas that come through in Miyazaki's films too.

it’s interesting to see one of miyazaki's earliest works and how many aspects reoccur in his later, more known works! without alex dudok de wit’s comment at the end it would be very underwhelming
