Thirteen-year-old trainee witch Kiki leaves home with her talking black cat Jiji. She flies on her broomstick, arrives at a port town, sets up a delivery service, and eventually becomes established in the community. However, she has fallen into self-doubt over her relationships and her work entanglements and has lost her magical abilities.
A 15-year-old boy, Hodaka, jumped on a ship bound for Tokyo in order to escape from his current life and the island. After arriving in Tokyo, Hodaka had nowhere to go, no money, no job. And it rained there every day. He is treated to a meal by Hina, a girl who works at the hamburger shop he stopped by. However, Hina was also in need to protect her life with her younger brother Nagi. While each was in danger of losing a job and place to live, Hodaka was informed that Hina had the power to temporarily bring "sunny" locally. Hodaka starts a business that provides "sunny" with Hina and Nagi. But she had to pay for her power.
