Review: This boxed set of five books is quite beautiful, each volume having its own dust cover/jacket, and some gorgeous cover art. The box supplied seems a little flimsy given the weight of the books (the full set is surprisingly heavy for their size). However, this is not a comic book/manga of the story. It is a collection of thousands of screenshots from the movie. While the art was beautiful in the movie, and the action paced near perfectly re-using the same art for the book just doesn't quite work. Action sequences are unclear and far too "rushed" while much of the rest of the tale just drags along. I suspect a younger reader, or a reader not as entrenched in classic manga works may find these books more than satisfactory, but anyone looking for a manga retelling of the story will be dissapointed. Still, they look good on the shelf, and are quite sturdy enough and accessible enough for younger siblings and/or cousins to enjoy a touch of oriental storytelling.
