Makoto Konno may not be the smartest girl in school, but she knows how to have fun. Her life changes when she has a brush with death and discovers a special power; the ability to jump backwards in time.

With a host of awards under its belt and stunning art direction from Studio Ghibli's Nizo Yamamoto, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is breathtaking.
