Your Name.

Mitsuha, a high school girl living in a rural town called Itomori, dreams of escaping her monotonous life and experiencing the excitement of Tokyo. Meanwhile, Taki, a high school boy living in Tokyo, dreams of a simple life in the countryside. Little do they know that their dreams are not mere fantasies but actual experiences of each other’s lives.

Every night, they wake up in each other’s bodies, experiencing the challenges, joys, and even the mundane aspects of the other’s life. At first, they are perplexed and disoriented, struggling to understand this bizarre phenomenon. They communicate through notes, leaving messages on their phones to inform each other about the events of the day.

As time goes on, Mitsuha and Taki develop a unique bond, finding solace in their shared experiences. They become friends, learning about each other’s hopes, dreams, and insecurities. However, their connection is fleeting, as they can never seem to remember each other’s names or faces upon waking up.

The story takes an unexpected turn when Mitsuha reveals that a comet, known as Tiamat, is predicted to pass by Earth. In Mitsuha’s hometown, Itomori, there is a traditional ceremony associated with the comet, but she expresses a deep unease about the event. Taki, driven by a strong desire to meet Mitsuha in person, embarks on a journey to find her and warn her about the impending disaster.

Their paths intertwine as they search for one another, facing various challenges and overcoming obstacles. Eventually, they manage to meet in person, but to their dismay, they discover that three years have passed since their last connection. Time and fate seem determined to keep them apart.

Undeterred, Taki resolves to save Mitsuha and the town of Itomori from the impending disaster. He uncovers the truth behind their connection, the significance of the comet, and the sacrifices that have been made. With the help of their friends, they embark on a race against time to alter their destinies.
