Suzume, p.20
Suzume,
p.20
I listened to that sound as I wrote this story. I suspect the same thoughts will continue circling through my mind in the future, and I will continue creating stories that are not much different from this one (though I am trying to make them different), hoping that next time I’ll manage to tell them a little better and entertain my viewers and readers a little more.
I hope you enjoy the film and novel I have created this time, too.
Makoto Shinkai, June 2022
