The diary belongs to his classmate, a girl named Sakura Yamauchi, who is revealed to be suffering from a terminal illness in her pancreas, and who only has a few months left to live. Sakura explains that the protagonist is the only person apart from her family that knows about her condition. The protagonist promises to keep Sakura's secret. Despite their completely opposite personalities, the protagonist decides to be together with Sakura during her last few months.

Sumino began serializing the story on the Shōsetsu-ka ni Narō ("Let's Become Novelists") website in 2014. Futabasha published the novel in print in June 2015, with cover art by loundraw (Tsuki ga Kirei character designer). The novel and various related books have since garnered over 2 million copies in print.

The novel already inspired a live-action film starring Takumi Kitamura (DISH//) and Minami Hamabe, and the film premiered in Japan last July. The live-action film played at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea and in Malaysia under the title Let Me Eat Your Pancreas.

The novel also inspired Idumi Kirihara's manga adaptation, which launched in Futabasha's Monthly Actionmagazine in August 2016, and ended in May 2017. Futabasha published the manga's second and final compiled book volume last June.

Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed both the original novel and the manga adaptation. The novel is slated for release on November 20, while the manga's first volume is slated for release on January 22, 2019.

 

me when i read the title and the bio..



seriously, why that title?

 

It definitely grabs your attention... I'm just reading some of the threads when I see the title "Let Me Eat Your Pancreas" and I'm just thinking, "dafuq?" and click on the link. lmao

 

As if you wouldn't eat a qt girl's pancreas.

 

Just realised it's a poor man's Clannad.

 

if given the chance, id eat a cute girl out but thats just wishful thinking.

oh yes. HECK YES! anything for our dear friend SK. xD

no magical bullshit eh? well see about that.

now about if id watch it, idk man. its tragedy.we know its gonna be a tragedy. id rather watch something that ends tragically without knowing than knowing how it would end. im still at 50/50 since there could be a chance its a good tragedy. well who knows? japan would pull the unexpected.

 

Excuse me this is a Christian affiliated forum you repent your sins right now heathen.

A tragedy can never be good. ALSO it says in the synopsis that it pretty much is just enjoying the final moments of the girls life.

That you know of. As soon as something magical happens I'm gonna go 1 step further and say it ripped off Clannad.

 

what? i did not say anything anti-christ, did i? so nothing to repent here you heretic.

from watching hanasaku iroha, tari tari, ano hana, and gurren laggan, i think i can say that there are good tragedies.
