Anime Description: Whisper of the Heart
Whisper of the Heart follows the adventures of a Junior High School student named Shizuku Tsukishima. She loves to read and write, but her parents pressure her to put more focus on her studies and High School entrance exams.
One day during a subway ride, she spots a mysterious cat. Following it, she ends up at a Curiosity Shop, which is owned by a kindly old man. She checks out the books at the store, and strangely every book she opens reads the name "Seiji Amasawa." As it turns out, the identity of this person is only the beginning of her forthcoming destiny.

Why aren't there any pages for Shizuku and Seiji? I can understand why there WOULD be one for the Baron, since he is in another movie too, but Seiji and Shizuku are very important characters.

One scene after they sing Shizuku's version of country roads, some lines go like this (The tension builds):
Shizuku: "I never had a chance! This is so unfair. Oh! I was so sure Seiji Amasawa was -"
Seiji: "I was what?"
Shizuku: "A nice, intelligent, civilized person!" ... show more »
