From Makoto Shinkai, creator of 5 Centimeters per Second and Your Name, comes the second installment of the Golden Globes-nominated blockbuster-turned-manga!

Praise for Suzume 2

"Makoto Shinkai is often praised as a descendant of the great Hayao Miyazaki for his masterly animation, and his latest film, “Suzume,” is no exception. The film speaks the same cinematic language, employing an ethereal, emotive color palette that enlivens every splash of water and blade of grass." - The New York Times

"Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume is his most exuberant movie yet and a powerful rumination on holding space for the past." - The Verge
