Summary
The story is set in the future 1000 years after the “Seven Days of Fire”, a cataclysm brought on by the excessive industrialisation that mankind has undergone. It utterly destroyed industrial civilisation approximately a millennium after it began to flourish. Although humanity survived, the land surface of the Earth has become heavily polluted and the seas are poisonous. Most of the world is covered by the “Sea of Corruption”, a toxic forest of fungal plants which is steadily encroaching on the remaining open land. It is protected by large insects, including the huge Ohmu. Humanity clings on to survival in the polluted lands beyond the forest, periodically engaging in bouts of internecine fighting for the scarce resources that remain.

Ongoing ? I’ve had the complete translated books series in my library for, what, 20 years ?
These look like scans from the original books from Hayao Miyazaki, but why bother re-translate them when there’s an official translation already ?
It’s still a good thing for new readers to discover this anyway, as the anime was such a disappointment, skipping more than half of the contents.
For potential readers wondering, the story is much, much longer and more complex than the few crumbs that were shown in the anime, with lots of epic battles, many more factions, and is much darker overall, by the way.
However, with only 21 chapters released when I’m writing this, it looks like it’ll take decades to reach its ending, so if you’re interested in the actual story (and not just the toned down and heavily butchered anime movie version), consider buying the translated paper version for your language (7 volumes). It’s well worth it.
