There’s more to the location in Sachiko Kashiwaba’s Misaki no Mayoiga novel than the feeling of warm nostalgia.
The original Misaki no Mayoiga novel was published in 2015 and took home the Noma Children’s Literature Prize the following year.
The anime film adaptation is due out in 2021 and has Shinya Kawatsura (Non Non Biyori, Sagrada Reset) directing, with a script by Reiko Yoshida (Violet Evergarden, Okko’s Inn) and animation by David Production (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Cells at Work!).
