"Each fully illustrated omnibus contains four to five volumes originally published in paperback. Most of the paperbacks have been out of print for years, so it's awesome that the new versions are single-volume hardcovers. The original animation cells from the movies were reformatted and arranged into comic book panels that are read from right to left like traditional manga. The pages in the All-in-One Editions are 5.13 x 7.19 inches, which matches the original paperbacks and the typical manga."
"For anyone who adores the art direction of Studio Ghibli movies, these books offer a pretty great way to "pause" a film so that you can focus on the smaller details of these beautifully animated stories. Because these comics use original cells and illustrations from the movies, they can be viewed as budget-friendly art books, too. Sure, these books are a lot smaller than the typical art book, but the illustrations still look wonderful in the compact format."
Viz Media's All-in-One Edition project collects Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, and Spirited Away into single-volume hardcovers. Each fully illustrated omnibus compiles four to five paperback volumes, many of which have been out of print for years. Amazon is offering discounts on the editions, with Kiki's Delivery Service currently priced at $17.63 (was $30). The books reformat original animation cells into right-to-left comic panels and match typical manga dimensions at 5.13 x 7.19 inches. The editions serve as compact art books for studying detailed illustrations and make convenient gifts for Ghibli fans.
