| Summary |
Shizuku Tsukishima is a bit of a book-worm, spending her last summer vacation in junior high school reading and translating popular, foreign music into Japanese. With aspirations to one day become a writer, Shizuku can't help but notice that the name Sejji Amasawa appears on every one of the books she borrows from the library. Through a series of curious and magical incidents, she comes to meet Sejji and discovers he has dreams of becoming a famous violinmaker in Italy. While their life-long goals put them in two different directions, Shizuku and Sejji are determined to remain true to their strong flings for one another. |
