Studio Ghibli films have this magical way of weaving stories that stick with you long after the credits roll, and it’s no surprise that some of their most beloved works have been adapted into novel series. For me, the standout is the 'Howl’s Moving Castle' series by Diana Wynne Jones. The film adaptation by Studio Ghibli is iconic, but the novels dive even deeper into the whimsical world of Howl, Sophie, and Calcifer. The first book, 'Howl’s Moving Castle,' is a masterpiece of fantasy, blending humor, heart, and a touch of chaos. The sequels, 'Castle in the Air' and 'House of Many Ways,' expand the universe with new characters and adventures, while still keeping that Ghibli-esque charm. What I love most is how the books capture the same sense of wonder and imagination that the film does, but with more room to explore the intricacies of the world and its inhabitants. Another gem is the 'Kiki’s Delivery Service' novel by Eiko Kadono. The film is a classic coming-of-age story, but the book offers a richer, more detailed look at Kiki’s journey as a young witch finding her place in the world. It’s a story about independence, resilience, and the importance of community, themes that resonate deeply with anyone who’s ever felt a little lost. The novel also introduces elements that didn’t make it into the film, like Kiki’s struggles with self-doubt and her evolving relationship with her cat, Jiji. It’s a more nuanced take on the story, and it’s easy to see why Studio Ghibli was drawn to it. Then there’s 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya,' based on the ancient Japanese folktale 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.' While not a novel series, the film’s narrative is so rich and layered that it feels like it could be one. The story of Kaguya, a celestial being sent to Earth, is both heartbreaking and beautiful, exploring themes of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. The film’s visual style is unique among Ghibli works, and the story’s depth makes it a perfect candidate for a novel adaptation. It’s the kind of tale that stays with you, making you think about the choices we make and the lives we lead. Lastly, I’d mention 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,' which started as a manga by Hayao Miyazaki before becoming a film. The manga is a sprawling epic, far more detailed and complex than the film, and it’s a must-read for any Ghibli fan. It’s a story of environmentalism, war, and hope, with Nausicaä as a heroine who’s both fierce and compassionate. The manga’s depth and scope make it feel like a novel series, and it’s a testament to Miyazaki’s storytelling genius. These novel series and adaptations capture the essence of Studio Ghibli’s films, offering fans a chance to dive deeper into the worlds they’ve come to love.

The age of Jeremiah Fisher in the first book of the series, 'The Summer I Turned Pretty', is fifteen. As the stories move along, the character ages. It's a triology that beautifully captures the adolescence of not just Jeremiah, but also the other central characters.

Make-up aside, this Barbie, once stealing countless hearts, is more than just a pretty face. Did you know she has a last name? Her full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, isn't it? Invented by her factory owner, she comes from the fictional town of Willows in Wisconsin, and has held the position of fashion doll industry representative since late 1950s! Whether it's the classic Barblie Dream Home or the Barbie Fashionista series to which so many children born after 1990 grew up playing with (90s music makes my heart sing)-now it been designated as Toy that Reminds on the Appearance Enjoyed, both cute.

NBA YoungBoy's brother is known as 'Wanna' or 'Kentrell Gaulden Jr.' His real name is actually interesting as he has been involved in music too, even if he's not as famous as his brother. It's fascinating how family connections and sibling dynamics can heavily influence someone’s career, especially in the competitive music industry. They seem to have a unique bond, and it’s intriguing to think about how their lives overlap creatively. Seeing siblings support each other can be really inspiring. Overall, family plays a huge role in shaping us, and I can't wait to see how their paths evolve as time goes on.

Playful nature spurred by youthful zest, I indulge in 'My Hero Academia' where Tomura Shigaraki has an intriguing story but his destiny is undefined as of now. The manga hasn't released any information on Shigaraki facing his demise. Throughout the series, we notice him growing as a villain, which makes it even more exciting to envision what fate holds for him.

Dorothy and Toto’s relationship in 'The Wizard of Oz' is one of unwavering loyalty and companionship. From the very beginning, Toto is Dorothy’s closest confidant, a small but spirited dog who brings her comfort in the mundane life of Kansas. When the tornado strikes, Toto’s presence becomes even more crucial, as he is the reason Dorothy runs back into the house, leading to their journey to Oz. Throughout their adventure, Toto remains by Dorothy’s side, offering silent support and even playing a pivotal role in uncovering the Wizard’s true nature. Their bond deepens as they face challenges together, and Toto’s instincts often guide Dorothy when she’s uncertain. By the end of the story, it’s clear that Toto isn’t just a pet but a symbol of home and safety for Dorothy. Their relationship evolves from simple companionship to a profound connection that underscores the theme of finding strength in the people—or animals—we love. What’s fascinating is how Toto’s actions often drive the plot forward, like when he jumps out of the hot air balloon, forcing Dorothy to stay in Oz a little longer. This moment highlights how Toto, despite being a small dog, has a significant impact on Dorothy’s journey. Their relationship is a testament to the idea that even the smallest beings can have a huge influence on our lives. Dorothy’s love for Toto is so strong that she’s willing to face the Wicked Witch and traverse a strange land just to ensure his safety. This mutual devotion makes their bond one of the most heartwarming aspects of the story.
