โOn the other side of the door, was time in its entiretyโ
17-year-old Suzumeโs journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, โIโm looking for a door.โ What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly mesmerized by its power, Suzume reaches for the knobโฆ
Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster.
The stars
The sunset
The morning sky
Within that realm, it was as though all time had melted together in the skyโ
Drawn in by this mysterious door, Suzumeโs journey is about to begin.โ
