New titles include set 1 of the anime series BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS, as well as MY HERO ACADEMIA: SCHOOL BRIEFS, a short story collection based on the hit superhero action series created by Kohei Horikoshi. NIER:AUTOMATA: SHORT STORY LONG is the second novel adaptation based on the best-selling video game. Horror master Junji Ito’s SMASHED: JUNJI ITO STORY COLLECTION will contain thirteen manga stories and debut later in the month.

    The last two titles set for release include THE ART OF NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND and NAUSICCAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND PICTURE BOOK. Each book features vivid Studio Ghibli art from the legendary director Hayao Miyazaki.

    THE ART OF NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, By Hayao Miyazaki 

    MSRP: $34.99 U.S. / $46.99 CAN · Available April 16th

    Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, based on his own manga, was released in 1984 and has been a cult classic ever since. In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Decay, an enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and poisonous spores. Beyond the sea lies the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens and home to Nausicaä, who risks everything to save her people and bring peace and health to the valley. Includes sketches, developmental water colors, cel animation, and more.

    NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND PICTURE BOOK, By Hayao Miyazaki 

    MSRP: $29.99 U.S. / $39.99 CAN · Available April 30th

    In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological disaster. The earth is slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Decay, an enormous toxic jungle filled with mutant insects and poisonous spores. At the edge of the sea lies the Valley of the Wind, home to Nausicaä, who risks everything to save her people and bring peace and health to her people. Studio Ghibli picture books capture the magic of the legendary studio’s animated films with easy-to-read text, full-color pictures direct from the film, and a family-friendly oversized hardcover format.
