Studio Ghibli Film Comic: All-in-One Editions are on sale[1] for great prices at Amazon ahead of Prime Big Deal Days[2]. Viz Media’s ongoing All-in-One Edition project includes four of Studio Ghibli’s most popular films: Kiki’s Delivery Service[3], My Neighbor Totoro[4], Ponyo[5], and Spirited Away[6]. 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 best deal right now is Kiki’s Delivery Service for only $17.63 (was $30), but Amazon is offering discounts on the other All-in-One Editions, too.
Studio Ghibli Film Comics: All-in-One Edition Deals
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.
Check out all four All-in-One Editions available today below. Any of these would make for great gifts for Studio Ghibli fans this holiday.
$29.75 (was $35)[7]
Published in February of this year, Spirited Away’s All-in-One Edition[8] collects all five paperback volumes[9] originally published by Viz in 2002-03. The first two volumes released in the weeks leading up to Spirited Away’s theatrical premiere in the US. All five books have been out of print for years.
The $35 MSRP is quite low considering this is an 856-page hardcover. Even the paperback editions retailed for $10 each more than two decades ago, so the series was actually more expensive back then.
Princess Mononoke, the fifth All-in-One Edition, will match Spirited Away’s length when it launches January 27, 2026.
$17.63 (was $30)[10]
Kiki’s Delivery Service’s Film Comic was originally translated to English as a four-volume series[11] in 2006. Each volume retailed for $10. Volume 3 is actually in stock at Amazon for its original price, but the other three paperbacks are $20 or higher in preowned condition.
Viz Media published Kiki’s Delivery Service: All-in-One Edition[12] last November with a $30 MSRP. Needless to say, getting this 584-page hardcover for $17.63 is an awesome deal.
$25.32 (was $30)[13]
The English translation of My Neighbor Totoro’s Film Comic was first published as a four-volume paperback series[14] in 2004-05. All four paperbacks are out of print, so it’s great that longtime Totoro fans and newcomers can enjoy the comic adaptation without resorting to hunting down overpriced paperbacks.
My Neighbor Totoro’s All-in-One Edition[15] kicked off the hardcover omnibus project last August. It frequently sells for its full $30 MSRP, so save five bucks on the 584-page hardcover while you can.
$22.24 (was $30)[16]
Ponyo’s Film Comic released in English for the first time in 2009. All four paperback volumes[17] are out of print, but Amazon has Volumes 3 and 4 for $10 each. Meanwhile, Volumes 1-2 are available in preowned condition for $40 and $67, respectively. Ouch.
Viz Media published Ponyo All-in-One Edition[18] on July 22. The 592-page hardcover is a steal at $22.22 (was $30).
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.
If you want to rewatch the films before or after reading the Film Comics, Shout Factory’s matching Blu-ray Steelbook Editions[19] are definitely worth checking out. We’ve put together a list of the collectible editions of Ghibli films you can get for retail price or less at Amazon, including Spirited Away[20], My Neighbor Totoro[21], and Ponyo[22] for $19 or less.
You can also save big on Shout Factory’s latest Studio Ghibli release: Grave of the Fireflies. The Steelbook Edition of Grave of the Fireflies[23] is on sale for $17.89 (was $27). The case design matches the aesthetic of The Boy and the Heron’s Steelbook Edition[24], which became the first Ghibli movie on 4K Blu-ray last year. Every other movie in the list below is a Blu-ray and DVD combo pack.
And if you’re interested in the Film Comics, chances are you’d love Hayao Miyazaki’s manga Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind[25]. The full seven-volume series–there’s a lot of story beyond what’s covered in the movie–is collected in a beautiful box set edition that’s on sale for $53 (was $80) at Amazon.
