Whisper of the Heart
Shizuku lives a very simple life, commanded by her love for both stories and composing. 1 day she finds all the library books she has have been previously checked out by the same person: ‘Seiji Amasawa’. Curious as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her ‘Prince of Books’. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read those publications to bring himself closer to her. The boy Seiji aspires to be a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise that she’s no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies in writing, she tests her talents with composing a narrative concerning Baron, a kitty statuette belonging to Seiji’s grandfather
