Miyori no Mori

Sent to live with her grandparents after her parents' relationship breaks down, eleven-year-old Miyori has little faith in other people. The forest near their home seems empty at first, until its strange inhabitants begin revealing themselves to her.

These spirits want Miyori to become their protector. Their company, together with new friendships at school, slowly loosens her anger and loneliness. When she learns that a dam project will submerge the woodland, protecting the place that has welcomed her becomes a cause she cannot walk away from.
