Nausicaä, a young princess who has an empathic bond with the giant
Ohmu insects and animals of every creed. She fights to create
tolerance, understanding and patience among empires that are
fighting over the world's remaining precious natural resources.
Nausicaa finds herself on the edge of despair as she comes to

ravaging Earth. Meanwhile, Queen Kushana of Torumekia plots to lead
her troops back to the imperial capital and seize the crown.
Nausicaa agrees to join Kushana and her people in the fight against

In a long-ago war, humankind set off a devastating ecological
disaster. Thriving industrial societies disappeared. The earth is
slowly submerging beneath the expanding Sea of Corruption, an
enormous toxic forest that creates mutant insects and releases a
miasma of poisonous spores into the air. At the periphery of the
sea, tiny kingdoms are scattered on tiny parcels of land. Here lies
the Valley of the Wind, a kingdom of barely 500 citizens; a nation
given fragile protection from the decaying sea's poisons by the
ocean breezes; and home to Nausicaa. Nausicaa, a gentle but
strong-willed young princess, has an empathic bond with the giant
Ohmu insects, who open their hearts to her. In her quest to create
peace among empires fighting over the world's remaining precious
natural resources, will Nausicaa be able to interpret the Ohmus'
urgent warning about the southern forest? And what of the war which
rages all around her?
Now that she's 13 years old, it's time for young Kiki to start
thinking about her future. So one night, under the light of a full
moon, she grabs her black cat, Jiji, hops on her mother's broom and
heads off into the night. The next day she alights upon a friendly
oceanside city, and this, she tells her loyal and furry companion,
is where she'll spend the next year learning how to become a real,
honest-to-goodness witch.
