“17-year-old Suzume’s journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, ‘I’m looking for a door,'” the film’s synopsis reads. “What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly drawn by its power, Suzume reaches for the knob. Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster.”

Suzume is the fourth-highest-grossing Japanese film of all time, pulling in over $320 million at the global box office during its run. For more new anime-related products, you can buy the first part of Bleach’s Thousand-year Blood War arc at a discount as well as several new Studio Ghibli books.
