I feel so guilty for rating this less than 4 stars. The film's soundtrack is one of my favourites, and the premise is SO promising. I really recommend reading with the soundtrack.
Hodoka is annoying as I remember from the film, incredibly childish. It doesn't help that I listened to this as an audiobook, so he was even more annoying.
It just doesn't live up to Your Name.

even though the movie is exactly the same as the book, somehow the book managed to pack a bigger punch. i will never forget these characters and this story.

Unglaublich gute Adaption. Makoto Shinkai schreibt für seine neueren Filme sehr gerne Romane und dieser ist echt gelungen. Anstatt die Geschichte, wie im Film, nur aus der Perspektive von Hodaka zu erzählen, finden man hier auch die unterschiedlichsten Nebencharaktere als Erzähler wieder und ihre eigenen Erfahrungen und Meinungen über die Geschehnisse und Hauptcharaktere. Besonders die zuvor recht unbekannte Geschichte von Natsumi wird hier kurz ans Licht geführt.
Für mich als riesiger Fan von Shinkais Filmen ist dieses Buch gefundenes Fressen und ich kann es ehrlich jedem Interessiertem von seinen Werken wärmstens Empfehlen. Auch wenn man nicht den Film gesehen hat ist die Geschichte gut genug für eine Leseempfehlung.
Ps: Das Nachwort von RADWIMPS-Frontmann Yujiro Noda sollte man echt nicht überspringen!

Is it weird I actually liked the Afterafterword (by RADWIMPS's Yojiro Noda) more than the novel? It helped me understand and come to terms with the ending of the movie, which was what spurred me to read the book to begin with.
