The film’s key visual is also released.
The official website describes the film as follows:
“The summer of his high school freshman year, Hokoda runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo, and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to suggest his future.”
“He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hokoda meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strongwilled girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky.”
‘Tenki no ko‘ is scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters July 19, 2019. The film has been confirmed by Shinkai for a worldwide release. It includes North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.
