High school girl Mitsuha has become bored of life in Japan's mountainous Hida region, where she works at a shrine maiden at her family's temple and where her father is a mayor seeking re-election. She has had dreams where she lives as a teenage boy in Tokyo, but when she sees a message on her notebook asking "Who are you?" and when her friends react at her strange behavior the previous day, she suspects something is going on. Similarly, high school boy Taki wakes up and finds he is Mitsuha, and his friends find his behavior to be just as strange. They realize they are able to swap bodies when they wake up, and start communicating with each other by leaving notes in Mitsuha's notebook and memos on Taki's phone. Mitsuha helps Taki develop a relationship with his coworker Miki, while Taki helps Mitsuha become popular in school. Read more on Wikipedia.
