A young woman (Kou Shibasaki) in her mid 20's becomes so heart broken she loses her voice.

Nori Jul 27 2010 6:04 am The book is written by Ito Ogawa and the DVD release is scheduled for Sept 1 but I'm not sure how you can get it outside of Japan. Amazon Japan sells it but I think you need a delivery address in Japan? Or you can ask your local import shop to see if they can help you out.

MondeFlottant Jul 24 2010 3:05 am The DVD will be released the 1th sept 2010. Does anyone know who writed the book ?
