Any Ghilbi and Ponyo fan will be delighted with this full length comic of the film. It corresponds directly with the film in a page-by-page format.

This layout and format is delightful as the layout varies in format, adding to the artistic features.

Text is minimal and one may have a harder time with some of the storyline, but a reader unfamiliar with the story will still enjoy it.

This will be a great addition to any Miyazaki fan.

Thanks @NetGalley and @VizMedia for the advanced digital copy.

The *Ponyo Film Comic All-in-One Edition* captures the same whimsical charm found in all of Miyazaki’s works, bringing the beloved film to life in a graphic novel format. It’s essentially a direct adaptation, taking scenes from the movie and presenting them as a seamless visual story, making it a great way to experience *Ponyo* in a new medium.

While *Ponyo* has never been my favorite *Little Mermaid* retelling, it’s still a beautifully crafted story that holds a special appeal for younger readers. The fantastical elements, vibrant artwork, and heartwarming themes make it an engaging read, even if the narrative itself isn’t one I personally connect with as much as other interpretations of the classic tale. That said, for fans of the film or those looking for an accessible introduction to Miyazaki’s storytelling, this edition is a delightful way to revisit the magic of *Ponyo*.

As always, anything Studio Ghibli is magical. I will, however, say again that the printing on these all in ones could use a 20 percent bump in contrast. The blacks are nowhere near dark enough, so it looks washed out much of the time. Otherwise, I love it.

So glad I used my iPad. The colorful illustrations are beautiful. It’s a must purchase book for my library.

Loved this in colour! Great to have the story in one collection. Would love to read this on my colour kobo.
