Fate's intentions are never clear... After months of swapping bodies with Mitsuha, Taki remains suddenly fixed in his own. Unable to shake the lingering impressions of a remote town he's never been to and a girl he's never seen, Taki sets off to find Mitsuha's village in the mountains. With only a few landscapes sketches drawn from memory to guide his search, Taki's goal seems impossible. However, his journey leads him to a reality more impossible than anything he could have imagined...
