“…you’ve been living your whole life alone...”

Rainy season. Tokyo.

Takao and Yukari are skiving.

But the heartfelt companionship that could save them might also ruin them…

Anime continues to make waves on the UK stage with this global premiere based on the stereotype-defying film by Makoto Shinkai.
