Written and Directed by Makoto Shinkai, Toho's Weathering With You animated film released last year in Japan. Upon release, the film was an instant hit, telling the story of a young man who makes friends with a girl who has unique abilities.
Upon release, in Japan, the film was already breaking records in its first three days, making about $15 million US. The film also passed Shinkai's previous work, the film Your Name, which went on to be another hit and modern classing.
After the success of Weathering With You, in Japan, the film saw releases in both the United States and Canada. The showings ended up giving the film another 7 million dollars and many more fans! From that point, the film grew enough popularity for a manga to be published, based on the movie.
The book is written by Wataru Kubota and was released in the pages of Kodansha's Afternoon magazine, in July of last year. The manga is a direct adaption of the film and, as of now, has released two compiled volumes.
In a recent reveal, from the second volume of the series, it was confirmed by the writer that the manga would be concluding with the release of its third compiled volume. With the ending coming this year, now is a great time to catch up on the series. Make sure to share your thoughts on the recent news in the comments!
