The story is set in the city of Kōchi, on the Japanese island of Shikoku. It concerns a love triangle that develops between two good friends and a new girl who transferred from Tokyo.
This is a great movie by the well known Studio Ghibli. It is more drama-based compared to Ghibli's other movie but uses this genre fabulously. It is an emotional movie that displays the nostalgia of school life and love. One of Ghibli's most underestimated movies is really one of its best.
