Narration Concering Books Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 6 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #6)
In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. Now the Earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption, an enormous toxic forest filled with mutant fungi that release a miasma of poisonous spores into the air. Nausicaa, a compassionate young princess, and her allies fight to create peace between kingdoms fighting over the world's remaining precious natural resources. Nausicaa embarks on an inner, spiritual journey to the heart of the Sea of Corruption, where she discovers its surprising secret. She returns to the land of the living, compelled to share her discovery, but Nausicaa accidentally awakens a God Warrior - a biotechnological abomination of the war known as the Seven Days of Fire - from its stasis. And now the monstrous yet childlike God Warrior thinks Nausicaa is its mother!List Books In Pursuance Of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Vol. 6 (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind #6)

I started reading this series with the assumption that I might read one a week, interspersed with other graphic novels, and it would be a pleasure to revisit a comic which has been a big influence on me and finally read it from beginning to end. I actually half-expected to not find it as mind-opening as I did the first time I read it, or the bits of it I was able to collect, in fact I assumed it wouldn't be - there's been a lot of ink under the bridge since the days of Ummagumma Comics in theNausicaä faces a spiritual journey in the penultimate volume of the series and in the process is able to heal the black soul of the Dorok emperor's brother and set him free. She also discovers a secret of the Sea of Corruption but when she returns to the land of the living, while trying to protect the people she loves, she accidentally awakens the last remaining God Warrior in the world - one of the genetically engineered giant super-warriors who destroyed civilisation in the Seven Days of Fire,
Now comes the woo part. It isn't super full of mysticism. There is a strong blend of science, tech and ecology that is being exposed as part of the history of this place. Yes, this is still a manga so there is enough of the supernatural and exceptionalism. But it is a stand-in for something different. This is becoming a book about something more than war or a coming of age story.
The spores are inside you. It would be easier to compensate for them rather than eradicate them. Isn't that the suffering of human nature though? The only truly pure thing is dead to us.
give me moree
Overall, Ive been pretty pleased reading these graphic novels so far. The author still surprises me every once in a while which is refreshing. Good strong female characters and a strong message about humanity and its relationship to the environment. Overall a good read
Great wrapping up of Nausicaa's story. Get to see continued character growth from her as well as the many characters whose lives she touches.
