The Boy and The Heron [Last Part] (Animage Comics Special)

[Machine Translation] Japan during World War II. After losing his mother in a fire, an 11-year-old boy named Mahito leaves Tokyo with his father and moves into a large mansion called "Aosagi Yashiki". He has mixed feelings about his overbearing father and his late mother's sister, Natsuko, who has become his new mother, and he hurts himself and withdraws from the house. He withdraws from his home, but is approached by the "Sagi Otoko," a man who can switch between the forms of a blue heron and a human being. Guided by the Hare Man, Masato wanders into a mysterious tower where his great-uncle, the owner of the mansion, has disappeared, and is led into a different world. This is the latest in the long-awaited series for Studio Ghibli fans, featuring all the cuts and dialogue from Hayao Miyazaki's first new feature film in 10 years, which he drew over his own boyhood. Since Studio Ghibli has a strict advertising policy of "not revealing the content of the work," this is the only book that provides all of the finished images of the animation!
