Legendary film director Hayao Miyazaki is best known for his award-winning animated films at Studio Ghibli, but he’s also a published author. For Prime Day, you can pick up his classic story Shuna’s Journey, a grand tale about a prince on a quest for a golden grain with the power to save his land. On sale for $15.60 (normally $28), this manga was first published all the way back in 1983, and it wasn’t until 2022 when it finally received an English translation.
A combination of Tibetan folklore, adventure, and elegant watercolor illustrations, this story has been translated by Alex Dudok de Wit, an animation consultant and associate editor at Cartoon Brew. Similar to Studio Ghibli films like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, Shuna’s Journey is set in a world inhabited by people, gods, and monsters. The English translation was well-received, and in 2023, it won a prestigious Eisner award.
