 Required Reading for this Week: Nausicaa Of the Valley of the Wind  the Manga, Please read at least the first volume so you get a sense of Miyazaki as mangaka. Here is a link to an online version.

Please send me proposals for your topics as soon as possible.  I have listed those I have heard from on the course syllabus which will be updated on Thursday morning and you can read it then.  Meanwhile I still need one or two people for next week on the general topic of love in Manga/Anime.
