Whisper Of The Heart

One evening, Shizuku Tsukishima, a fourteen-year old girl who is in junior high school in Tama New Town, on the outskirts of Tokyo, looks through the checkout cards in her books and notices a pattern: each book had previously been checked out by someone named "Seiji Amasawa".

The next day Shizuku goes to school to meet her friend Yūko Harada. While waiting, she asks her teacher Kosaka-sensei to open the library so she can check out a book. The book contains the name Amasawa, so she asks Kosaka-sensei about him. She doesn't remember him, but tells Shizuku to ask one of the older teachers.
