This book was written expressly for fans of your name. His eventual excommunication from the family and the start of his political career were fuelled by the loss of his one and only greatest love in his life. Perhaps the most disliked character in the movie, Mitsuha's father, Toshiki, gets to share his side of his (his)story: a middle-aged scholar met the young heir to the head family and shrine of the town, fell in love, and married into her family. In her quest to do so, she encounters a spiritual occurrence tied to the Miyamizu bloodline. Yotsuha's story is an adorable one, where she tries to work her young mind to find all sorts of explanations for her older sister's recent strange behaviour. Tesshi seemed strangely defensive of his boring hometown, and also especially of Mitsuha, but the inner workings of his mind is explained: he is bound by obligations. While it seems like a lighthearted, silly story, it builds on Taki's growing understanding of this mysterious and conflicted girl, and in turn, his affection slowly grows as well. Taki's tale is one that was not really shown in the film: everyday life living as Mitsuha when their consciousness are swapped. This novel contains the stories of four characters which were not told in the film: Taki (in Mitsuha's body), Teshigawara "Tesshi" Katsuhiko, Yotsuha, and Miyamizu Toshiki (father of Mitsuha and Yotsuha).
