Books Ghibli films are based on and their sequels
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.

Which Studio Ghibli film was Gulliver's Travels an inspiration for? 🤔
Apparently it's Castle in the Sky. I also just learned this. I've never read it, so I can't say what part is the inspiration.
Also When Marnie Was There 😊
Thank you! I didn't realize it was a book. I'll add it when I get to that place. I'm trying to add them in each movies release order.
