Oh, that's the collection I have and am currently reading as we speak... and I just rewatched the Ghibli adaption on Monday... That's sad...
Rest in Peace. Your art will sit even closer in my heart now. Thank you for everything. <3

Rest in Peace, Hayashi-san.

I have the hardcover edition of the first Kiki book in Japanese; the illustrations are charming. My favourite one is of Kiki sitting under a tree reading a letter.
