Whisper of the Heart

耳をすませば

Shizuku Tsukishima, a book-obsessed junior high school student in Tokyo, keeps finding the same name — Seiji Amasawa — on the checkout cards of every library book she borrows. Her curiosity leads her to a charming antique shop run by Seiji's grandfather, Nishi, where a cat figurine called the Baron catches her imagination. When she discovers that Seiji is quietly training to become a violin maker in Cremona, Shizuku is stirred to test her own creative ambitions and begins drafting her first novel.
