Le Château ambulant #1

This first volume of the French-language manga adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones' classic fantasy novel introduces Sophie, a young hatmaker cursed by a witch to appear as an old woman. Seeking a cure, she enters the moving castle of the enigmatic wizard Howl, encountering a fire demon named Calcifer and a world of magic and adventure. The collection adapts the beginning of the original story with art and storytelling by manga creator Hiromasa Hayashi (also known as Hiromi Hayashi), offering a distinct visual take on the beloved tale that also inspired the Studio Ghibli film.
