シュナの旅 is a very interesting book. It’s challenging language-wise (though imo a bit easier than his other work 風の谷のナウシカ), and also just inherently confusing. A lot of crazy stuff happens, a lot of confusing symbolism pops up, and I was left asking “Miyazaki, are you OK?” several times while reading. The typesetting is also baffling, there’s text in green or red or white all the time and it’s often very hard to read (not helped by the fact I read it in Bunko form, it’s probably easier as an ebook). That said, if you like Miyazaki’s wild plots like Nausicaa or Princess Mononoke, there’s a lot of that energy to appreciate here. And the art is all beautiful!
