Chihiro Ogino is moving to her new house with her family, but while traveling there they come across a empty, and mysterious town. Chihiro and her family enter the mysterious town, and see a market filled with food but no one’s there. Since they are hungry they start eating the food but they can’t stop, almost like the food is magical. Chihiro tries to stop her parents from eating, but no matter what she tries, they can’t stop! Their gluttonous behavior turns them into pigs! She leaves them and travels deeper into the mysterious town and finds herself in a bath house where she meets a guy named Haku. Haku tells her that she needs to convince Kamaji (the man in charge of the boiler room) to get her a job or Yubaba, the bath house witch, will also turn her into a animal! Will Chihiro be able to convince Kamaji to get her a job? Or will Chihiro be turned into an animal by Yubaba?
This art style is very unique, you can’t find this art style anywhere. It’s hand-drawn instead of done by computer. The art style goes very well with the weirdness of the story.
Also, check out the anime film, Spirited Away, directed by Hayao Miyazaki!
This manga is for kids: 10+
