Suzume no Tojimari

Suzume Iwato lives quietly in Kyushu until she meets Souta, a traveler searching abandoned places for mysterious doors. Curiosity brings her to a doorway standing alone in the ruins, where moving a strange stone releases a force connected to disasters across Japan. Soon Souta is trapped in the form of Suzume's small three-legged childhood chair, and she carries him as the two race from one opening gate to the next. Each threshold remains in a place once filled with human life, and sealing it means acknowledging what the land remembers. The journey pulls Suzume toward a loss she has avoided since childhood. Protecting others will ultimately require her to face the memory she has kept shut away inside herself.
