59 chapters

7 volumes

1982 – 1994

Humanity, once a flourishing civilization with advanced technology, now teeters on the edge of extinction after a catastrophic conflict called the Seven Days of Fire. The remaining people live in scattered kingdoms, seeking refuge from the relentless expansion of the Sea of Corruption—a vast forest filled with deadly mutant insects and fungi that release toxic spores. Nausicaä, the only heir to the throne of the peaceful agricultural kingdom Valley of the Wind, is drawn into war when the imperialist nation of Torumekia invades the Dorok Empire. Forced to fight alongside the Torumekian army and its cunning princess Kushana, Nausicaä witnesses the brutal realities of war and its devastating impact on both people and the natural world. With her extraordinary compassion and gentle spirit, Nausicaä may represent humanity's last chance for survival as the conflict and the advancing Sea of Corruption accelerate mankind's demise. Against the backdrop of a ruined world, Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä explores the consequences of human arrogance and nature's enduring power.
