Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind volume 1 features story and art by Hayao Miyazaki.

Nausicaa, a gentle but strong-willed young princess, has an empathic bond with the giant insects that evolved as a result of the ecosystem's destruction. Growing up in the Valley of the Wind, she learned to read the soul of the wind and navigates the skies in her glider. Nausicaa and her allies struggle to create peace between kingdoms torn apart by war, battling over the last of the world's precious natural resources.

Contains the same material as found on the Nausicaa: Perfect Collections, now in a smaller, shorter format with the content distributed over a larger number of volumes and in an original Japanese right-to-left format.
