Manga works

edit

The following list contains Hayao Miyazaki's works, both major and minor, since his debut as manga artist:

Work Years Summary
Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko ([The Wonderful World of] Puss 'n Boots) 1969 Serialization in a newspaper of a feature film by Toei Doga (Toei Animation Studio), for which Miyazaki worked as a key animator. Based on Charles Perrault's book. Pero, the dandy cat, helps a boy defeat an Ogre and win the heart of a princess.
Sabaku no Tami (People of the Desert) 1969–70 Written for a newspaper targeted for children. It deals with the devastation of war, betrayal, and the ugliness of the human nature under desperate situations.
Doubutsu Takarajima (Animal Treasure Island) 1972 Serialization in a newspaper of a feature film by Toei Doga (Toei Animation Studio), for which Miyazaki worked as a key animator. A slapstick adventure story based on Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Kaze no Tani no Naushika (Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind) 1982–94 Precursor and partial adaptation of the anime film of the same name, with a much more extended plot than the film.
Imouto he (To my Sister) 1982 A six-page graphic poem about a dream a boy has in which he and his sick twin sister fly and travel around the world, and he can bring happiness to her.
Shuna no Tabi (Shuna's Journey) 1983 An all-watercolor 147 page manga considered by some as a Nausicaä prototype. It's about a prince of a very poor country who journeys in search of the Golden Wheat to save his people from starving.
Miyazaki Hayao no Zassō Nōto (Hayao Miyazaki's Daydream Data Notes) 1984–92 Series of manga (or rather, "graphic essays") which Miyazaki has very sporadically wrote in a Japanese monthly scale model magazine, Model Graphix. They are totally independent manga stories, mecha ideas, or movie ideas about tanks, planes, or battle ships from the era before World War II - the "favorites" of Miyazaki.
Hikōtei Jidai (The Age of the Flying Boat) 1989 A 15-page all watercolor manga, which the animated film Porco Rosso is based on. It was serialized in Model Graphix, as a part of Miyazaki's Zassō Nōto series.
Hansu no Kikan (The Return of Hans) 1994 An all-watercolor manga based on the fictional adventures of Hans, a German chief tank mechanic, at the end of World War II, serialized in Model Graphix.
Kuuchuu de Oshokuji (Dining in the Air) An all-watercolor short manga about the history of in-flight meals.
Doromamire no Tora (Tigers in the Mud) 1998–99 An all-watercolor manga based on the memoirs of Otto Carius, a German tank commander. It was serialized in Model Graphix, under a new series name Mousou Nouto (Delusion Notes).
A Trip to Tynemouth 2006 An adapted manga version of a translated collection of three of the young adult short stories written by Robert Westall.
Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises) 2009 The story of Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter designer Jiro Horikoshi, published in Model Graphix with the subtitle Mousou Comeback.
Teppou Samurai (Gun Samurai) 2015 A manga series about samurai in Japan’s Warring States era.
