En las afueras de Tokio, en una pequeña ciudad bañada por el océano y rodeada de montañas, se encuentra la casa donde Shuichi pasó su infancia y a la que acaba de regresar. Shuichi es un famoso ilustrador, tiene cuarenta años y una cicatriz en medio del pecho. Vive obsesionado con su corazón, al que ausculta todas las noches, y con los recuerdos confusos del pasado. Su madre los manipuló para protegerlo del dolor: siempre le contó una versión dulcificada de sus pequeños dramas. El problema es que, si uno no tiene la certeza de haber sufrido en el pasado y de haberlo superado, ¿de dónde puede sacar el valor para seguir intentándolo? Un día, Shuichi se da cuenta de que un misterioso niño deambula por las inmediaciones de su casa. Una extraña presencia que le suscita muchos interrogantes: ¿quién es el niño que lo observa y por qué ha elegido su casa? Pero, por encima de todo, ¿cómo se atrapa a un pez-niño? Shuichi descubre que el pequeño se llama Kenta, tiene ocho años y vive unas aventuras prodigiosas en la más absoluta soledad. Kenta, el pez-niño y Shuichi, el dibujante surfista, entablan una extraordinaria amistad, hasta tal punto que conocerse cambiará para siempre sus vidas. Los llevará a un lugar que late al ritmo del corazón, pronunciado en todas las lenguas del mundo. Se trata de Teshima, una pequeña isla remota situada al sudoeste de Japón, donde, además, se erige el Archivo de los Latidos del Corazón.
On the outskirts of Tokyo, in a small city bathed by the ocean and surrounded by mountains, is the house where Shuichi spent his childhood and to which he has just returned. Shuichi is a famous illustrator, he is forty years old and has a scar in the middle of his chest. He is obsessed with his heart, he listens to it every night, and with the confusing memories of the past. His mother manipulated them to protect him from pain: she always told him a sweetened version of his little dramas. The problem is that, if one is not sure that one has suffered in the past and has overcome it, where can one get the courage to keep trying? One day, Shuichi notices that a mysterious boy is wandering around his house. A strange presence that raises many questions: who is the child watching him and why has he chosen his house? But above all, how do you catch a fish-boy? Shuichi discovers that the little boy is called Kenta, he is eight years old and is living some prodigious adventures in absolute solitude. Kenta, the fish-boy, and Shuichi, the surfer cartoonist, establish an extraordinary friendship, to such an extent that meeting each other will change their lives forever. It will take you to a place that beats to the rhythm of the heart, pronounced in all the languages of the world. This is Teshima, a small remote island located in the southwest of Japan, where the Heartbeat Archive is also located.
