Kiki and the New Magic
キキと新しい魔法 Goodreads
Eiko Kadono / Yuta Onoda translator: Emily Balistrieri publishing house: Delacorte Press 2026 - 8
Join Kiki, the beloved young witch, and her clever cat Jiji in the enchanting sequel to the modern classic! This new translation will reveal more to the story that inspired the Hayao Miyazaki film, Kiki's Delivery Service. It has been a year since Kiki started her new life as an honest-to-goodness witch, and the—not quite so—little courier has become a real celebrity. But fame comes with its own set of challenges. As Kiki faces increasingly perilous tasks, her friendships with Jiji and Tombo are put to the test. Doubts creep in, leading her to question her purpose. Determined to overcome her fears, Kiki must summon all her courage and perhaps even explore a new kind of magic. Will she find the strength to navigate her evolving world? Kiki and the New Magic, beautifully illustrated by Yuta Onoda, is a captivating tale of bravery, friendship, and self-discovery. Perfect for fans of the Studio Ghibli film and anyone who loves a magical adventure.

finished reading Kiki and the New Magic
I had simply assumed the live-action Kiki movie was an entirely original story based on the same framework. Turns out it takes inspiration from the second book. Neat.

Another peaceful, easy read. Not as exciting as the movie, but that's fine by me. I needed the chill.

Middle-aged Canadian slacker with casual interests in video games and books, particularly—but not exclusively—retro games and fantasy novels. Recently spending a lot of time with my new media centre. 80s was peak era for anime and cartoons. Early 90s pretty good too.
