An example of a change, made by Miyazaki before the first edition of Volume 1 was released, can be found in Scott Ryan's article Nausicaa Manga Comparison.Īlthough the Japanese Volume 1 does not have an individual title, the corresponding first chapter in the English language Viz Media Box Set was given the title 'The Valley of the Wind'. Although there are variations in the cover design, the contents of all the different editions of Volume 1 are otherwise identical. During the preparation for the publication of the this collection volume, panels were retouched, in some cases redrawn entirely and four new pages were added but after the publication of the first edition no further changes were made. Prior to publication of Volume 1 Miyazaki made some changes to the panels of the manga as they had originally been printed in Animage magazine. Bonus MaterialsĪll editions of Volume 1 come with a, double-sided fold-out color frontispiece as well as a separate, one-sided, poster. Obiīooks are frequently sold with an obi in Japan, a narrow paper strip, wrapped around the outside.

Dust jackets with these additional illustrations were printed for a limited time period in 19 and are no longer in print. The text and illustration on the flap were used to advertise the March 1984 release of the film of the same name, which is based, in part, on the contents of this Volume. The Japanese term for New Edition was initially printed alongside the number 1 on the dust jacket and an illustration was printed on its inside flap. The back of the dust jacket for Volume 1 is turquoise. The more familiar illustrated white dust jacket usually obscures the actual front cover from view. An illustrated dust jacket was also added.

This edition has a newly designed green cover.
