Hotaru returns every summer to spend time with Gin, and their human relationship matures as both struggle with its limitations. The inspiration to write the story came all of a sudden to Midorikawa, who immediately drew the manga—a process that went smoothly despite some initial conflicting elements.

Plot [edit]

The original Hotarubi no Mori east shōjo manga[2] and subsequent picture show tell the story of a six-twelvemonth-old girl named Hotaru Takegawa, who gets lost in a forest inhabited by a mountain spirit, besides as yōkai (foreign apparitions from Japanese sociology). She is found by a mask-wearing, human-like entity named Gin, who informs Hotaru that he will disappear forever if he is touched by a human. Gin then leads Hotaru out of the woods. Hotaru returns to visit Gin in the woods over the next few days and they become friends despite the limitations on their interactions. Although at summer's end she must leave Gin to return to the city and her studies, Hotaru promises to render to visit him every summer holiday.

As the years go by, Gin hardly ages while Hotaru physically matures and grows closer to his apparent age. Upon reaching adolescence, Hotaru begins to struggle with their budding romance and their uncertain future together, while Gin wishes he could touch and hold the immature adult female that Hotaru has become. When Hotaru reaches high school, Gin takes her on a date to a festival in the forest hosted by the spirits. The night ends in tragedy when Gin mistakenly touches a young boy who snuck into the spirit festival, though earlier he disappears, he and Hotaru embrace and confess their honey for one some other. The story ends with Hotaru accepting her hurting and moving on with her life, though she will e'er treasure the memories of her time with Gin.[iii] [iv] [v] The 2011 anime picture show accommodation of the story[1] follows all of the events from the manga, adding simply a few additional scenes.[vi]

After discussing means to preserve the persimmon with the yōkai and a spirit named Matsumino, Gin sets off to find ice on the highest mount peak, but is disappointed to detect none during the summer. When Gin returns scratched up from his fruitless search for ice, Matsumino feels sorry for him and offers to deliver the persimmon to Hotaru for him.

Manga [edit]

The author, Yuki Midorikawa, explained in the postscript of the Aizoban Hotarubi no Mori e reprint that the idea for the story came to her more easily than for any other work upward until that signal.[seven] Although she had been planning to write a story as challenging as Hotarubi no Mori east once she had gained more experience writing manga, she decided to undertake the projection sooner when the thought for the story all of a sudden came to her. Afraid that she might lose the idea, she promptly began to draw information technology, and Midorikawa'due south writing progressed smoothly despite having numerous conflicting ideas for the development of the story.[9]

The story came from Midorikawa's desire to draw several scenes. She was interested in drawing a scene where a boy dodges a girl who is falling towards him.[x] She also wanted to draw a shadowy summer forest,[nine] which would allow her to expand the range of tones and blacks used in the manga. A third inspiration was the desire to depict a more tranquil summer festival than those she had drawn before. She was as well eager to create the mask worn by Gin at the festival, which resembled the face up of a play a joke on whose typical slitted optics were replaced by oval ones to give the mask a "creepy" hybrid trick-primate appearance.[10]

The supernatural love story betwixt Hotaru and Gin is considered a starting point for Midorikawa'southward best known work, Natsume's Book of Friends, which besides depicts ill-fated interactions between humans and yōkai (sometimes referred to as ayakashi).[11] [12] In both stories, differences in lifespan and other insurmountable barriers mar their relationships and attempts to understand each other.[12]

Prior to the anime moving-picture show's theatrical release in 2011, Midorikawa published an additional chapter to the story, Hotarubi no Mori due east Tokubetsuhen. Since the original story was already complete and she initially felt uncomfortable about adding to information technology, she opted instead to expand on the story from Gin'southward perspective.[seven]

According to animation director Yumi Satou, the anime project originated with his personal wish to breathing the original manga, which he enjoyed.[13] The project was given approval in early 2011,[xiv] and according to the moving-picture show's producer, Shuko Yokoyama, the anime was originally planned as an original video animation, which would not accept been released in theaters. However, the popularity of Natsume'due south Book of Friends, which was too written by Midorikawa and adult by the same product staff, gave them the support they needed to create an anime film.[fifteen] The film was produced by the studio Brain's Base of operations and directed by Takahiro Omori, starring Japanese vocalisation actors Ayane Sakura as Hotaru and Kōki Uchiyama as Gin.[14] Satou had often worked together with Yokoyama on previous projects.[16] Other staff included Akira Takata (character design), Yukihiro Shibuya (art), Hiromi Miyawaki (color design), Hitoshi Tamura (photography), and Kazuhiko Seki (editor).[17] The anime film had a very small staff because information technology was a very brusque flick and was produced domestically, unlike the TV series, Natsume'due south Volume of Friends, which was primarily outsourced to other countries—a common trend in anime production.[xv]

In March 2011, midway through product, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami struck Nihon. Despite the national tragedy, the production coiffure continued its piece of work, and according to Omori, the team hoped that their work would aid soothe the nation later it had time to recover. Omori speculated that this was part of the reason for the strong positive reception and the awards the anime afterward received.[xiii]

The setting in the manga was based on a shrine in the Kumamoto Prefecture of Japan, known as Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, which is defended to Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto from Japanese mythology. The animation crew spent two hours searching the location for settings on which they could base their art. Because the story was set in the wood of a mountain god, Omori intended the art to represent a "different world" where the background scenery was obscure and the blue sky was slightly brighter than normal. Omori and his coiffure devoted extra attention to lighting and coloring, making the forest dim with light coming through the canopy and landing on the characters with the advisable intensity. The dissimilarity betwixt light and dark was likewise used during the festival scene to emphasize its bizarre nature, reminding the audition that Hotaru should not be at that place. Because of the significance of the summer season to the story, Omori deliberately loaded the film with summertime scenes, such as rustling leaves and chirring of cicadas.[18]

Co-ordinate to the Omori, the idea for the opening scene was suggested past Yokoyama; following traditional cinematography, the images of scenes indirectly related to the main story were played while the opening credits appeared. Originally intended to show Gin's life before meeting Hotaru, Omori allowed the viewer to decide its relationship in time with the main story. Omori also opted to get-go Hotaru'southward narration from a fourth dimension later on the story's main events; showing Hotaru every bit an xviii-yr-old who had just graduated high school and heading back to visit her relatives near the forest. By having Hotaru tell the story in retrospect, Omori idea it provided a more homo feel and gave more significant to the final scene, where Hotaru expresses her hopes for the futurity by saying, "Come on, let's get."[19]

One of the difficulties in adapting the manga to anime, according to Omori, was that the developing relationship between Hotaru and Gin had to be shown visually, rather than through monologue. One way in which this was done used Hotaru'south yearly change in height—by subtly showing the convergence of the length of their strides when walking, the audience is led to perceive a modify in their relationship. Omori likewise wanted to portray more depth to Hotaru'south grapheme by expanding on her school life. Although the manga depicted a cursory flash of her life in eye school, the anime depicted scenes from both aspects of her life.[18]

Omori shared a draft of the picture show with composer Makoto Yoshimori and then that he could write music to match the tempo. However, there was some disagreement over the catastrophe theme, which Omori and Yoshimori discussed at length over email. Although neither would compromise on key points, the issue was eventually settled and the catastrophe theme was finalized.[18]

Hotaru'south voice actor in the anime film, Ayane Sakura, was a fan of Midorikawa and owned the original manga. In an interview, she mentioned that she was thrilled to get an audition and ultimately the role, and also admitted that she shed tears while recording. Kōki Uchiyama, who played Gin, read the manga for the audition, and confessed that he was concerned at first almost how to portray his character, though his work made him experience good. The flick was initially pre-scored, where the vox acting was recorded prior to the cosmos of the blitheness, but later re-recorded for the final version.[20] According to Omori, this immune the animation to emphasize natural pauses in the dialogue and let the cast set the rhythm and tempo.[12]

Director Takahiro Omori, September 2011[18]

Nicoletta Browne of T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews described it as a "vignette of bittersweet nostalgia", praising the anime for beingness a "gorgeously detailed piece with beautiful animation." Browne also wrote favorably of the story'south progression, noting that its dark undertones grew heavier as the main character matured, and that the consequent characterization of Hotaru from babyhood to her early teens was impressive, especially given the film's length. Browne'southward criticisms were limited to noting the motion-picture show's short length, a clash betwixt the cartoonish depictions of the forest spirits and the residue of the movie, and an issue with one element of plot development near the end of the pic. She did note that sensitive viewers may interpret some aspects of the story as inappropriate, such as the initial age difference betwixt the chief characters and the style Gin punishes Hotaru as a kid when she tries to touch him. In the case of the sometime, Browne noted that their romance adult only when Hotaru began to arroyo Gin's physical age, and with the latter, she noted that no harm was intended. In both cases, she also mentioned that cultural differences must be considered.[4]

Both Yokoyama and Satou noted the "Japanese-ness" of the anime during the panel give-and-take following the primary showing at the Scotland Loves Blitheness festival. Yokoyama had originally been concerned that foreign audiences would not fully sympathise and appreciate the work, but the reaction of the audience at the Glasgow showing alleviated his concerns. According to Yokoyama and Satou, elements of the story that exhibited potent elements of Japanese civilization included the watermelon eating scene, the function where Gin hits immature Hotaru over the head with a stick, and the scene where immature Hotaru gets scared at night when she sees the face up of a yōkai in the patterns of the wood panels on the ceiling.[15]

Midorikawa attributed the success of Hotarubi no Mori e to the quality of the story, noting even those readers of the original manga who were critical of her artwork were drawn to read the story from start to terminate. She speculated that hiding Gin'due south face up behind a mask had helped mitigate some of the artistic issues for which her earlier work had been criticized. The intense pressure experienced by Midorikawa early on in her manga writing career was relieved equally a outcome of the positive feedback she received upon her success with Hotarubi no Mori e.[9] In 2011, she expressed excitement for the new anime film and having the manga reprinted in a new short story collection, remarking that her attempts to write about her feelings and recent experiences in relation to Hotarubi no Mori east brought tears to her eyes.[41] She described the story as a "precious piece of work" that helped her build social connections.[7]
