Anime Eiga Review: Whisper of the Heart

Film Synopsis


Avid bookworm, Shizuku Tsukishima (voiced by Yoko Honna), lives with her family in a small apartment in Tokyo. All things considered, Shizuku has a pretty normal life and nothing all that special ever seems to happen. Recently though she’s noticed something strange. The past few books she’s borrowed have all been previously check out by someone named Seiji Amasawa.

Shizuku constantly wonders who this person is. Are they nice, are they friendly, are they good looking? Slowly an image of the mysterious Seiji begins to form in her head. This could very well be be her prince charming. As long as it’s not this one jerk she knows (voiced Issei Takahashi) who has the very bad habit of showing up at the most annoying of times.

To her disappointment, Seiji is indeed this person. He turns out to be the grandson of the owner of a small, but unique antique shop. Shizuku finds the small boutique fascinating and ends up spending quite a bit of time there, thus gets to know Seiji a little better.

Shizuku’s distain turns into admiration and affection. Seiji has longed dreamed of perfecting his skills as violin craftsman and his dedication fills Shizuku with awe since she has no idea what she wants to with her own life. Their relationship grows deeper and when Seiji has a chance to fulfill his dream, Shizuku couldn’t be happier.
