Whisper of the Heart[a] is a 2022 Japanese romantic drama film written and directed by Yūichirō Hirakawa based on the 1989 manga of the same name by Aoi Hiiragi.

Co-distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Shochiku, it takes place ten years after the original manga (as well as the 1995 anime film with the same name), and focuses on adult Shizuku and Seiji.

In January 2020, it was announced that a live-action film adaptation based on the Whisper of the Heart manga written and illustrated by Aoi Hiiragi was in the works.

[5] In June 2022, Yuki Yamada and Rio Uchida were cast as Tatsuya Sugimura and Yūko Harada respectively, while Towa Araki and Sara Sumitomo were to portray their younger selves.

[9] Alicia Haddick from Crunchyroll gave the film a mixed review, after offering high praise for the original Whisper of the Heart, she goes on to state that "The latest live-action incarnation is made worse by the potential of the story it could have told had they only chosen to follow through on something genuinely evolutionary, rather than nostalgic".
