If you thought gaming companion-media was at an all time low

..you're right. But Studio Ghibli and Level 5 just might make up for the whole thing.

Apparently, their new DS game, Ni no Kuni, comes with a mandatory, high-quality book. Apparently it's used for runic translations or something similar. Looks amazing, so check it out:

The article says plenty about them, but let me refresh your memory as to the relevance of Studio Ghibli:

My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke; Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo are all fantastic examples of their work.

Now who the hell can we get to reproduce this in English?

I've heard Studio Ghibli is in some pretty dire financial straits these days. Hope they manage to pull through.
