Dig deep into a world of animation and immerse yourself in the nostalgia of each story and its characters. The book will feature archive material including posters and newspaper ads, interviews with directors, book recommendations for further research, DVD introduction pages and a character index. 

In addition, Studio Ghibli Complete Works will cover what will be the company’s newest 3D venture, Earwig and the Witch. According to Hypebeast, it will “highlight the process of the creation and the secret story of the production from director Goro Miyazaki,” e.g. Hayao Miyazaki’s son! There will also be an exclusive interview with CEO and producer Toshio Suzuki.
