603 pages of hand-drawn Hayao Miyazaki art – Boy and Heron storyboards, art book going on sale

But there is a sort of a Miyazaki manga equivalent in the form of the director’s annotated storyboards for Ghibli’s anime.

And if you need any extra convincing to check out the storyboards, just remember that Evangelion creator, and Nausica animator, Hideaki Anno says that Miyazaki storyboards are even better than Miyazaki anime.

Publisher Takuma Shoten isn’t showing off any preview images of the storyboards themselves just yet, but they have allowed an advance peek at the contents of another new book, The Art of The Boy and the Heron.
