Book Review: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Vol. 5 by Hayao Miyazaki

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Volume 5 by Hayao Miyazaki

The emperor marshals a new army to help him take over, disregarding how the storms of mold are ravishing the countryside (including the people living there). His plan for unification leaves the question what will be left to unify. Meanwhile, Nausicaa continues her journey, discovering more about the relationship of the mold and the Ohmu creatures. 

The story gets a bit heavy-handed with the environmental message in this issue as it provides a surprising ending. Since it leaves the situation in a very unexpected state, I am more interested to see where the story will go.

Mildly recommended.
