The Garden of Words
From Makoto Shinkai (Five Centimeters Per Second, Journey to
Agartha) comes a love story with a twist.
When Takao, a young high school student who dreams of becoming
a shoe designer, decides to skip school one day in favor of sketching
in a rainy garden, he has no idea how much his life will change when he
encounters Yukino. Older but perhaps not as much wiser, she seems
adrift in the world. Despite the difference in their ages, they strike
up an unusual relationship that unexpectedly continues and evolves,
with random meetings in the same garden on each rainy day.
But the rainy season is coming to a close, and there are so
many things still left unsaid and undone between them. Will there be
time left for Takao to put his feelings into actions and words? Between
the raindrops, between the calms in the storm, what will blossom?
