Among my presents was the English-language version Shuna’s Journey, the one-volume watercolor-illustrated graphic novel by Hayao Miyazaki that got here out from First Second again in 2022. It goes with out saying that I like Miyazaki movies, so I’ve little question it is going to be the identical for this graphic novel.
