It is indeed beautiful.
It gives me the shiver you usually get when you listen to really good music.
Thank you, scum (scans)!
Thanks to the scanlators for bringing us this work! It was a lovely read.
Should have said in my original post, "Thanks, Scum-scans, for bringing us this gorgeous piece of Miyazaki's works. I really loved it."
Bottom Line: Whether it's anthropomorphic Panzer Pigs, heroic princesses, or just little girls; anything written by Miyazaki Hayao is going to be not just worth reading, but a consummate work of art. Shuna no Tabi is fantastic. Read it and be invigorated and inspired. Dousirou said simply "beautiful," and was absolutely right.
