Series: Beyond the Clouds

A dreamlike odyssey that's part Studio Ghibli, part Final Fantasy!

Living beneath the haze of Yellow Town, young Theo has never seen the stars. He works as a mechanic and spends his off hours digging through the town's trash heap for abandoned treasures. He's always had the soul of a dreamer, but he's given up on living the kind of fantastical life he's read about in books. Then, one day, he finds an amnesiac, injured girl with wings, and everything changes. Theo's talents help fix her wing, and their quest will take them beyond the clouds, farther than either could have imagined.

A boy with a talent for machines and a the mysterious girl whose wings he's fixed will take you past the ordinary. In the tradition of the high-flying, resonant adventure stories of Studio Ghibli comes a gorgeous tale about the longing of young hearts for adventure and friendship!

Young Theo works as a mechanic, putting his knack for machines to use in the industrialized city where he lives. But when he finds an injured, amnesiac girl with wings, his life changes forever. Her name is Mia, and although Theo's talents make quick work of repairing her injured wing, their quest to find her home will take them beyond the clouds and further than they would ever have imagined.

Reviews for Beyond the Clouds Vol 1 (GN)

"""Every panel is a little gem. It's like being immersed in the sketchbook of a watercolor painter — even though the manga is in black and white… If you like Ghibli's animated films and the world of Final Fantasy, you'll probably be excited about Beyond the Clouds!"" -Avoir Alire ""The same comfort level as a bedtime story, [or] the sort of chapter book or middle grade novel that often serves as a nightly read-aloud... A well-thought out setting, a plucky protagonist, and beautiful, soft art (to say nothing of gorgeous watercolor opening pages and cover)."" -Anime News Network"
