Anna Sasaki is an asthmatic teenager who lives with her foster parents in a bustling city. She's shy, introverted, and struggles to connect with others due to her condition. Her doctors recommend sending her to the countryside to improve her health and clear her mind. So, Anna moves in with her aunt and uncle in a small town near the sea for the summer. During her stay, she discovers an abandoned mansion called the Marsh House while wandering outside one day. She meets Marnie, a mysterious girl who seems friendly at first but turns out to be more than she appears. As Anna spends time with Marnie, she begins to open up and form a close friendship. However, as her stay in the town comes to an end, Anna starts to uncover the secrets of the Marsh House and the truth about Marnie. Omoide no Marnie is a heartwarming story about self-discovery and friendship that will stay with readers for years to come.
