Recs if you like Earwig and the Witch...

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

Before they became beloved films, they were stories on the page. Here are the books that inspired the Studio Ghibli movies! Some are direct adaptations and others were used as inspiration. Note: not all of them have been translated to English (yet).

There are a few lists that are about the books and manga that Ghibli films are based on but none were quite what I wanted, so I made my own. I wanted a list of the source material that the Studio Ghibli movies are inspired by and including any sequels they may have. Untranslated works or books I can't find. If anyone happens to how to find them or if I missed something please let me know.

Kiki's books 4 through 9, The Age of the Flying Boat, My Neighbors the Yamadas, and From Coquelicot Hill.
