Beauty and the Mononoke

April 13, 2011

A really lovely thing here, via BoingBoing: a fan translation of Hayao Miyazaki’s storybook take on Beauty and the Beast: Mononoke Hime (not related to Princess-Mononoke-the-movie). Read and enjoy!

It’s missing the cover page though, which I found elsewhere – you don’t get a good look at his method of transport when he comes to collect the girl other than this, so admire his mighty mouse-powered monowheel!

Run faster lads! He's gaining!

If only it were a film….
