In Your Name, a conspiracy of the stars
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 11/11/2016
» A millennial comet is hurtling past Earth and two Japanese teenagers wake up one morning with their bodies switched, living each other's life and dreaming each other's dream. Mitsuha in a small rural town becomes Taki, and Taki in Tokyo becomes Mitsuha.
