Now, over two years since its release, fans worldwide are going into anime withdrawal, itching for their next Makoto Shinkai fix. Released in 2016, Makoto Shinkai’s film exploded with critical acclaim and sold out box offices across Japan, eventually surpassing Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away as the highest grossing anime film of all time. One, in particular, that took the anime world by storm was Kimi No Na Wa ( Your Name). Whether in the form of novels, movies, manga, anime or other forms of art, they grab people in different ways. Simply put: stories help shape who we are and who we become. More than that, the stories that really touch us and the tales that we grow up with can become the foundations for our dreams and ambitions as adults. As a journalist and fiction writer, I believe stories can change people’s lives.
