A complex story with no easy answers, well partnered with complex art and well developed characters. I really fell in love with Nausicaa by the end... Not the dark, not the light, but ~right~, and doing the best she could for everyone. This manga is respect worthy and beautiful.Rating: DifficultThere is typical fighting violence, I would say about PG13. Mostly it's swordfighting, though a baby Ohmu (A giant bug) is tortured in one sad scene, and the story in general gets darker as things progress. Nausicaa is very briefly shown nude, though it was in NO way fanservice or anything else. I was in fact proud of its casual treatment of people's bodies without anything else mucking it up. Yes. It was a female's body. And it was ok.
