Whisper of the Heart Double Play

StudioCanal UK and Anime UK News are giving you the opportunity to win one of three copies of "Whisper of the Heart", which will be released in Double Play this 9th of January.

"Whisper of the Heart" is one of Ghibli's classics written by Academy Award winning anime master Hayao Miyazaki and directed by his protÃ©gÃ© Yoshifumi Kondo. It's a simple tale about a young girl who falls in love and learns to believe in herself.

Teenage bookworm Shizuku plans to read away the summer vacation. But when she finds that the same mystery borrower has got to every book before her, she meets Seiji, a trainee violin-maker who challenges her to stop reading and start writing. A heart-rending fantasy from Studio Ghibli.

Available on Double Play in the UK from January 9th.

This competition is now closed and the winners are G. Trevena, J. Milligan, A. Gregg. Congratulations!
