at first when i saw the title shuna no tabi i though that it was going to be a boring story, but when i read miyazaki i knew that this is gonna be something. so i read it.
basically it would take 30 minutes to 1 hour to finish this manga. it is short and nice. i recommend you to read it, it was amusing.
the manga is colored in a nice way, the characters look good.
you won't fund too many dialogues there, its just little description about the characters actions.
overall, just go and read it, you won't loose anything at all!

I never knew that Miyazaki did any mangas--before I read this, his name was synonymous with anime movies such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. I was interested to read this, because I read that it was done before many of his other works. I began to read Shuna no Tabi with the hopes that it would be as wonderful as Miyazaki's later works.
I was not disappointed! The art is done in the beautiful, typical Miyazaki style--even fully colored! The art was stunning. I can't imagine how much time he must have put into each panel. The character ...

Hayao Miyazaki fans, especially from watching "Princess Mononoke" and/or watching/reading "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", should check this out. It's a very short and good manga by Miyazaki featuring a lot of familiar designs and storylines that fans will recognize from those stories, if not simply enjoy on their own. This also predates most of his work people are most familiar with, and he wrote it while writing the "Nausicaa" manga in the 80s.
The main plot is similar to "Princess Mononoke" in that the primary protagonist, Prince Shuna, leaves his homeland in search of something - a special kind of wheat that grows ...

"Once upon the time was a tiny kingdom..."
Miyazaki-sensei, what else should I write? This manga is based on old tibetanian tale. It's tipical Miyazaki's work - a beautifull fairytale (this english word is not as good as polish Baśń or german Kunstmärchen) - story about the most importants values and power of friendship. The Miyazaki-fans could find here some similarities to Nausicaa. It's definetly not a work for those who don't like Miyazaki. Finaly Miyazaki wrote in Post Script: "My only dream was tomakethis animation, but in modern Japan a simple story like this would not pass, at all" I think not only in Japan... Now, you now what ...

Well, to begin with, the main motive I decided to make this review is because I personally think the other reviews provided exaggerated scores, it’s a very good manga but it’s not a masterpiece and not much remarkable either, however I know that be a masterpiece was not the objective, it was only made to be a beautiful and uncomplicated story and that I can say it was a accomplished objective. Also I am not a experienced manga reader but I’ve seen most of Miyazaki works so I think I am in condition to do this review, explained that let’s get to it.

Shuna’s Journey – Spoiler Free – Recommended
TLDR Story – 5/10 – x 0.275 = 1,375 Art – 10/10 – x 0.2 = 2 Characters – 5/10 – x 0.225 = 1,125 Enjoyment – 7/10 – x 0.3 = 2,1 Total: 6,6 -> 7 Story – 5/10 Shuna’s Journey is an incredibly short manga made by Miyazaki Hayao himself. Its author is the reason this manga has any readership whatsoever. It is a very simple story whose inspiration, as the postscript states, lies in a Tibetan tale called “The Prince Who Became a Dog.” Essentially, Shuna—the prince of a starving kingdom—decides that it is time to eradicate his people's ...

Absolutely loved this, it was basically one of his films made for a book medium expertly well. I wonder what this would have been like as a movie (definitely would have been a more complete cohesive story than the Nausicaa movie was), but it honestly stands on it's own and plays to the medium's strength so well that I'm not upset. The watercolor artwork is so beautiful and being able to slow down and take in a finished work of his at your own pace is really nice. This is another good example of how "show don't tell" isn't always a way to go. I
