Critic Reviews

"Fans of the critically acclaimed film of the same name will likely enjoy this version of the work, even without the stunning colors and soundtrack of the movie. Amashima’s illustrations offer a faithful telling and provide whimsy at times, with a playfulness that is unique to the manga adaptation. Recommended." - School Library Journal

"....it’s a lovely way to revisit a beautiful story, and one that fans of the film will want in their library." - Otaku USA
