It’s a beautifully written, casual fantasy that’s very similar to Miyazakis’ form of ‘soft’ worldbuilding.

It’s a rare time for me to notice that I actually enjoyed an adaption over the original novel. Spoiler Alert!! I will be talking some endings and other spoiler-ish elements so just beware. ![]()
