"Shuna, the prince of a poor land, watches in despair as his people work themselves to death harvesting the little grain that grows there. And so, when a traveler presents him with a sample of seeds from a mysterious western land, he sets out to find the source of the golden grain, dreaming of a better life for his subjects. It is not long before he meets a proud girl named Thea. After freeing her from captivity, he is pursued by her enemies, and while Thea escapes north, Shuna continues toward the west, finally reaching the Land of the God-Folk. Will Shuna ever see Thea again? And will he make it back home from his quest for the golden grain?"--… (more)

Una historia ilustrada que remite a otras obras de Miyazaki, especialmente a Nausicaä del Valle del Viento (Más [b:al manga|6767033|Nausicaä del Valle del Viento (Nausicaä del valle del viento, #1)|Hayao Miyazaki|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1251397286l/6767033._SX50_.jpg|24684] que a la película) y la La Princesa Mononoke. Esta adaptación de una leyenda tibetana reúne los temas habituales de su autor (la vuelta a la naturaleza, las figuras heroicas, los personajes femeninos, la crítica al Japón moderno...) y los enlaza muy bien a través de la odisea de su protagonista en busca de un recurso para alimentar a su pueblo. Me ha gustado especialmente la parte final centrada en el "regreso" y su relación con el personaje femenino (Muy bien construidos todos los personajes, como es habitual en Miyazaki) y una trama que fluye en todos los momentos, tanto los de acción como los de reflexión.
