For those who will remember, Whisper of the Heart is all about romance and tells the tale of Shizuku who pursues her longtime crush, Seiji, and getting the fairy-tale ending we all love.
Sony Pictures also announced that the two leads have already been cast with Nana Seino playing Shizuku Tsukishima and Tori Matsuzaka as Seiji Amasawa.
According to reports, the sequel will be set 10 years after the first movie and follows the lives of the couple who are said to be in a rough patch.
“Now 24, Shizuku has given up her dream of being a novelist, but works hard every day to sell books as a children’s book editor at a publishing company,” reports Anime News Network. “Meanwhile, Seiji is still following his dream abroad, even as the distance between him and Shizuku grows ever larger.”
