Spirited Away Film Comic Volume 02

Ten-year-old Chihiro and her family are on their way to their new home. Dad takes a wrong turn, though, and they become lost in a forest. Eventually they find their way to a strange abandoned amusement park. Chihiro wanders off. As night falls, Chihiro finds out she's in a world of ghosts, demons, and strange gods.

Sen goes through a gruelling first day of scrubbing floors and being made fun of by the other workers for being human but she forges on. In the middle of the day, while everyone's asleep, she sneaks outside to meet Haku...
