Hibiki (2018)

Description:

"Hibiki" introduces us to Hibiki Akui, a sensitive 15-year-old girl from an ordinary family, whose greatest passion is writing. Living with her public officer father, housewife mother, and university-studying older brother, Hibiki cherishes her world of words. Her aspirations take a bold step when she submits her novel, "Otogi no Niwa," to Mokuren literary magazine's prestigious Rookie of the Year Award.

However, her hopes are initially dashed when the manuscript fails to meet the award's specific conditions and is unceremoniously discarded into the office trash. But fate intervenes dramatically when Fumi Hanai, a discerning editor at Mokuren, happens upon the seemingly abandoned novel. Intrigued by its unique content found amidst the refuse, Fumi takes a keen interest, recognizing a distinctive voice and potential that could forever change Hibiki’s life and challenge the established literary landscape.
