Synopsis

Frustrated with her mundane high school life in the town of Itomori, Mitsuha Miyamizu has longed to live as a boy in the Tokyo metropolis. One day, the fantasy she has always dreamed of comes true—awakening in a boy's body and experiencing the thrills of the city. Meanwhile, high school student Taki Tachibana finds himself waking up as a girl living in a lakeside town by the mountains, the complete opposite of the Tokyo life that he is familiar with.

As Mitsuha and Taki discover they are living the lives of one another in their dreams, the two begin working together to adjust to this new reality. Little do they know, their fragile relationship soon prompts the pair to search for each other in fierce defiance of the thin thread of fate that connects them.

It is also written in a good way switching the narration back and forth between Taki and Mitsuha.

The interaction between the characters is somewhat interesting at times, but not enough to please.
Shinkai, as always, wrote a cliché script for the film, and in the novel it is the same thing, during history it is possible to notice a significant amount of errors in the plot, but it is useful in general.
The film is clearly the best way to consume this work, the excellent visuals and animation distract you from the decadent script.

I recommend it if you really loved the movie and want to have something to remember it even more, but if you are going to read it just to have a ...

”To be honest, I didn’t intend to write this novel. It may be rude to the readers for me to say something like that, but I though Your Name worked best as an animated film.”
- the afterword of Your Name novelization

If you ever wanted read a speeded up version of a movie script with the best aspect of the movie removed entirely, this is your chance. Truly – Kimi no na Wa works best as the movie, as by far the best parts of the movie are the animation and visuals. So much that it can distract the viewer from the weaker storyline.

But this ...
