Whisper of the Heart

A love story between a girl who loves reading books, and a boy who has previously checked out all of the library books she chooses.

Tama New Town, Tokyo, 1994. Intrigued by the mysterious bibliophile who reads the same books as her, 14-year-old daydreamer Shizuku has a life-changing encounter with a strange alley cat instead. And just like that, the passionate teenager embarks on an exciting quest to find her purpose in life. After all, the world is a wondrous place filled with out-of-the-way antique shops, enthusiastic violin makers, and magical feline mentors. However, as Shizuku tries to juggle school and ambition, looking for inspiration and opportunity in unexpected places, a question arises. Will talented Shizuku ever find the courage to listen to her heart's gentle whisper?
