The story unfolds against the backdrop of the coastal town of Kochi, with its scenic beauty and the sound of the sea playing a significant role in the atmosphere. The novel portrays the characters' personal growth and the profound impact of their experiences on their lives.While the novel received critical acclaim upon its release, the anime film adaptation of "Umi ga Kikoeru" marked Studio Ghibli's first attempt at producing a television movie. Directed by Tomomi Mochizuki, the film retained the essence of the original story while introducing visual storytelling and emotive music to enhance the narrative. The film captured the emotions and nuances of the characters, depicting their complex relationships and personal struggles.Although "Umi ga Kikoeru" is not as widely known outside of Japan as some of Studio Ghibli's other works, it remains a beloved and significant piece of the studio's filmography.
