Comment faire pour rompre le mauvais sort et délivrer ses parents ?...

About the author
Hayao Miyazaki
368 books3,537 followersHayao Miyazaki (Japanese: 宮崎 駿) is a celebrated Japanese animator, filmmaker, screenwriter, and manga artist, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of animation. He is the co-founder of Studio Ghibli, the animation studio responsible for producing many of Japan’s most beloved and internationally acclaimed animated films. Over the course of a career spanning decades, Miyazaki has developed a reputation for creating visually rich, emotionally resonant stories that often explore themes such as nature, pacifism, flight, childhood, and the human condition.
Miyazaki was born in Tokyo and developed an early interest in drawing and animation. His father’s work in the aviation industry had a significant influence on him, particularly in fostering his fascination with aircraft and flight, motifs that would become prominent throughout his later works. After studying political science and economics at university, Miyazaki began his professional career in animation when he joined Toei Animation. There, he worked under the mentorship of directors like Isao Takahata, with whom he would later form a lifelong creative partnership.
In his early years at Toei and other studios, Miyazaki contributed to several television series and animated films. He worked as a key animator and storyboard artist, gradually gaining recognition for his storytelling abilities and attention to detail. Among his early projects were contributions to series such as Heidi, Girl of the Alps and Future Boy Conan. His directorial debut in feature films came with The Castle of Cagliostro, a film adaptation of the Lupin III manga series, which already showed signs of his distinctive style and sensibilities.
Miyazaki's breakthrough came with the film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, based on his own manga. The success of that film prompted the establishment of Studio Ghibli, which he co-founded with Takahata and producer Toshio Suzuki. From that point forward, Miyazaki directed and wrote many of Ghibli’s most iconic works, including My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, and Howl’s Moving Castle. His films are known for their hand-drawn animation, strong character development, and philosophical underpinnings.
In 2001, Miyazaki directed Spirited Away, which became one of the most critically and commercially successful animated films of all time. The film received numerous awards and international recognition, including an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. It also became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history at the time of its release. The film’s success further solidified Miyazaki’s reputation as a master storyteller and a visionary in global cinema.
Despite announcing his retirement several times, Miyazaki repeatedly returned to filmmaking. His later works, such as Ponyo and The Wind Rises, continued to showcase his evolving themes and storytelling maturity. His most recent project, The Boy and the Heron, marked a highly anticipated return to the director’s chair and once again captivated audiences with its dreamlike visuals and emotional depth.
Miyazaki’s films are often distinguished by their complex female protagonists, environmental messages, and moral ambiguity. Rather than presenting clear-cut villains and heroes, his stories explore the nuances of human behavior and often focus on characters finding their place in the world. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades and honors for his contributions to the arts, including lifetime achievement awards recognizing his impact on both Japanese and international cinema.
His legacy continues to influence generations of animators and filmmakers worldwide, and Studio Ghibli remains one of the most respected names in animation.

Al haber visto la película tantas veces, leerlo fue como volver a verla, no me sorprendió. Pero es una historia realmente hermosa, y llena de enseñanzas.
Este comic nos cuenta la historia de Chihiro, una niña que va con sus padres a una feria aparentemente abandonada, donde los mismos comen hasta atiborrarse y se convierten en cerdos. Ante esto, Chihiro busca ayuda y termina atrapada en una casa de baño para dioses y espíritus, donde trabaja o termina convertida en carbón.
La inocencia de Chihiro, su voluntad para no perder su nombre (sin el cual no puede volver a su casa), el amor que siente por el niño que fuera un espíritu de río que la salvó en su infancia, la lealtad hacia sus padres, son factores que hacen de esta historia un viaje emotivo e inolvidable.
Sin dudas recomiendo esta lectura (y también la visualización de la obra de estudio ghibli)

Se me hace un manga completo y que es hermoso de inicio a fin.
Toda la película, incluso los créditos, están realizados en el manga. No he visto la película pero siento que este integral como antesala me parece espectacular.
El manga está traducido por unos amigos y gracias a ellos he tenido la oportunidad.
De la historia me parece un buen concepto de fantasía y de forma especial me parece una hermosura leer algo de Estudio Ghibli ya que no he tenido la oportunidad de ver todas sus peliculas.

Autant j'aime le film autant le livre n'avait pas complètement la même dimension même s'il est fidèle au film. Donc c'était pas un coup de coeur

Like many people, I already knew the film, viewed during my childhood. I had to reread this after the release of Billie Eilish’s « Chihiro » music, it’s been so long. My perception has changed even better, and Haku is now my favourite secondary character. :D
