Chihiro makes a friend, Haku, who tells her that she must take a job at the bathhouse to ensure her safety in the spirit world. When her parents are transformed into pigs, Chihiro seeks refuge beside a bizarre bathhouse that caters to spirits and monsters: a haven for the strange creatures to replenish their energies.

Kiki’s Delivery Service is a lovely film, but Hayao Miyazaki’s later work Spirited Away (2001) is an absolute masterpiece.

However, you guys make all of this work worth it – your shares, likes, retweets, reposts, anything you do to spread the word of F/F February and our masterlist is so greatly appreciated. While I always knew it was a big job, I have never fully appreciated the sheer amount of work that was put into Ellie’s research and inputting of data – I would just slide in near the end to reformat the post, making some graphics and add a few of my own book suggestions.
