It tells the story of Nausicaä, a princess of a small kingdom on a post-apocalyptic Earth with a new, bioengineered ecological system, who becomes involved in a war between kingdoms while an environmental disaster threatens the survival of humankind. On her journey, she struggles to bring about a peaceful coexistence among the people of her world, as well as between humanity and nature.Prior to creating Nausicaä, Miyazaki had worked as an animator for Toei Animation and Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the latter for whom he had directed his feature film debut, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro. After working on an aborted adaptation of Richard Corben's Rowlf for TMS and publishing firm Tokuma Shoten, he agreed to write and draw a manga series for Tokuma's monthly magazine Animage, initially on the condition that it would not be adapted into a film. Nausicaä's creation and development was influenced by the Japanese folk tale The Princess who Loved Insects, a similarly named character from Homer's Odyssey, the Minamata Bay mercury pollution, as well as various works of science fiction and fantasy by Western writers, among other sources. The manga was serialized intermittently in Animage from 1982 to 1994 and the individual chapters were collected and published by Tokuma Shoten in seven tankōbon volumes. The manga was serialized with an English translation in North America by Viz Media from 1988 to 1996 as a series of 27 comic book issues and has been published in collected form multiple times.Since its initial serialization, Nausicaä has become a commercial success, particularly in Japan, where at least 11 million copies have been sold. The manga and the 1984 film adaptation, written and directed by Miyazaki following the serialization of the manga's first sixteen chapters, have received widespread critical acclaim and recognition from critics and scholars, who praise its characters (particularly the protagonist) and themes, as well as Miyazaki's art style. The manga and film versions of Nausicaä are also credited for the foundation of Studio Ghibli, the animation studio for which Miyazaki has created several of his most recognized works."@en }
