The Girl Who Leapt Through Time follows the irregularities of teenager Kazuko’s daily life after she is altered by a lavender-scented drug during a chemistry lab clean-up, as well as by her encounter with the mysterious student Fukamachi. Whether due to longing or something more supernatural, Kazuko begins to experience time differently, anticipating calamities and returning to recurring moments, dreams, and memories. Her increasingly strange life, gently and inexorably, becomes combined with both friendly affirmation and fate.
