Home Reviews I Want to Eat Your Pancreas’ Review There Won't Be a Dry Eye in the Theater The animated film is a heartfelt celebration of life and friendships with a tight script and well-rounded characters. I want to get something out of the way. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is not a zombie film, but it doesn’t really sound like a romantic drama either. The film is based on Yoru Sumino’s novel of the same name, which was also adapted into a serialized manga and a live-action film last year. Apparently, Sumino came up with the title first and wanted to use the line to make people cry. Let me tell you right now, he succeeds. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas has as much in common with A Silent Voice as it does with the live-action Hollywood film The Fault in Our Stars. In the broadest sense, the film deals with a girl with a terminal illness, a boy who keeps her secret, and the unnamed relationship they create. At first glance it looks like another sappy melodramatic romance meant to make you cry your eyes out. Yet first-time director Shinichiro Ushijima who also wrote the film has more in mind than just a downer film about death, and instead makes a beautiful celebration of life with some interesting ideas about fate. Image via Studio VOLN, Aniplex The film starts with an unnamed boy being bothered by a girl in their high school library. She is fascinated by a supposed Japanese custom of eating a body part from a loved one to cure a disease afflicting the same body part. Our nameless protagonist is an oddball loner, withdrawn and unpopular by choice, according to him. He spends his time working at the school library because he believes books are better than people. It doesn’t take long to notice that he isn’t as stoic as he thinks he is, and he’s just a guy fighting against himself and against his own self-professed beliefs. One day, he happens to find a diary in a hospital. The diary belongs to his classmate Sakura, the girl from the library. Sakura is an exuberant, cheerful and popular girl from his school; the only problem is that she has a terminal pancreatic illness and only a few months left to live. Once our silent main guy discovers this fact, Sakura explains that he is the only person other than her family who knows about her condition, as she wants to maintain a regular school life for as long as she can. So, the boy promises to keep her secret. The film then deals with Sakura as she decides to spend her last few months latched onto our loner protagonist, whose point of view carries the story forward. The biggest surprise in I Want To Eat Your Pancreas is how funny it is. Sakura is well aware of her impending death, so she copes with it with deadpan gallows humor that may make some audience members uncomfortable. There’s also the not-so-typical relationship between Sakura and our protagonist I swear they say his name before the film ends, but it’s a thing that he won’t say it at first. Their initial misjudgments are quite funny, as Sakura keeps forcing her nameless friend to help her check crazier and crazier things off her bucket list, but their banter and dynamic becomes quite sweet to see and the dialogue feels natural. When Sakura can’t understand why her new friend won’t talk to anyone at school, the resulting tension between them also rings true to our own struggles in relating to and engaging with people. Image via Studio VOLN, Aniplex The very young Studio VOLN handles the film’s animation, which is pretty to look at but never distracts from the plot. Pastel colors dominate I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, especially the color pink which dominates Sakura’s world and parallels the cherry blossoms that follow wherever the camera goes, a key part of the film’s themes. Sakura’s journey takes her through sunshine-soaked outdoor scenes and brightly lit interiors as her backlit figure contemplates the eternal light of the world she will soon stop being a part of. This is all contrasted with the dark and rainy streets our protagonist is often walking down, the wet ground reflecting headlights from night-time traffic. There are even a couple of scenes where the animation enhances the film, particularly a night-time scene with fireworks that will both make your jaw drop and your tear ducts work overtime. There’s also the theme of "chance versus fate" that runs through I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, the idea that fate is nothing but the result of thousands of choices we make though life. It’s a sentiment that makes you look at certain characters in a different light, and one that makes the “girl wants a boy to enjoy life” part of the story more profound than you’d think coming from a film with a title like this one. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas may look like a traditional romantic drama about a dying character, but it is a heartfelt celebration of life and friendships with a tight script and round characters. It is honestly amazing that this film works as well as it does, and that it still manages to surprise you with a few twists and turns that will have theatrical audiences crying in their seats.

The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." - Norman Cousins Adapted from the novel of the same name, this manga is simply amazing in so many ways. Just by reading the synopsis, you can feel a huge load of emotions welling up right away. The novel has already touched the hearts of thousands of people, winning numerous awards. I bet it will do the same to you as well. I've read the novel AND the manga. One thing I can tell you is that I was a bit disappointed by the manga, as some important ... The title I want to clear this up first. You may want to know why the title of this manga is like a horror manga title. For that, I must take a little extract from the manga/novel “If someone in the past had a part of their body that wasn’t well, they would eat the corresponding part of another animal.” - Sakura Story 10 I loved the story so much I read the novel and the manga 3 times. The story is simple a girl suffers from terminal pancreatic cancer and only has a few years to live. She chooses to hide it and tries to live a normal life. She keeps a 'Disease Coexistence Journal", a diary describing her days before her death. However, this journal is accidentally read by a boy from the same school. She decides to share her secret with him and chooses to spend more time with him, as she is interested in their "polar-opposite personalities". The manga focuses on their differences of these 2 very different people by showing a lot of their interactions a boy who has been isolated from society and has decided to submerge himself into the world of novels instead, and a girl who has had numerous friends and has spent happy memories with them throughout her life, but without showing her secret. An odd pair, I first thought. But I didn't think this novel would be so successful in presenting them together throughout the story. The story is told from the boy's perspective, which is quite interesting since we don't get to know the girl's feelings directly, only assumptions from the boy. This helps to make the girl all the more mysterious to is the case until we discover what she wrote in the "Disease Coexistence Journal", where we are finally shown her thoughts. Also, another interesting part of this story is that we don't know the boy's name until the very end. He is always called "Secret-Knowing Classmate-kun" by Sakura, along with other nickname always ending with "Classmate-kun" by everyone else. I didn't really understand why the author kept the boy's name anonymous, my only guess is that it could have been used to emphasise his isolation, the fact that he doesn't care about what he's called. Overall, perfect story with things that you may not expect at all connecting. 10/10. Art 10 Really liked it, the art carrying a melancholic feel but also a bright atmosphere as well. Perfect for this kind of story. I hope the anime adaptation does just as well on that. Character 10 Sakura The centre of the story, she is a merry girl who has many friends but chooses to hang out with the boy. The girl's determination to spend her days as happily as possible to create joyful memories of her last days surprised me a lot. She is almost always presented as a cheerful girl who seems to take the idea of death lightly she often uses her death as an excuse when annoying the boy, which is quite funny.. But at the same time we are also shown indications that she is worried. I don't know how to convey this feeling but whenever she mentioned the word "death" I felt like my heart was about to stop. I questioned myself a lot, why can't this brave girl be spared from this disease? Honestly, Sakura had a really big impression on me after I finished reading the story. Classmate-kun For the sake of you guys not knowing the boy's name I'm going to call him the same way the manga called him. He likes to read novels and prefers to stay alone than having friends as he sees no reason in having any. He is surprised by Sakura's behaviour as it is completely different from what you would expect from someone who suffers from a disease slowly killing her. He increasingly cares for her and becomes more and more attached to her as the story develops. An interesting character as well, as he is the one who learns most in this story. Kyouko Sakura's friend, who always glares at Classmate-kun. She doesn't know about Sakura's disease even if she is her best friend. The development is excellent. I can't use any other words than that. The boy's realization of the importance of being able to live and spend his days with his new friend Sakura and Sakura's amazing. I cried so much after reading this... Enjoyment 10 Rather than enjoying it, I was fascinated by this beautiful story. Of course, I give 10. Overall 10. You are very likely to cry for this one. Sep 9, 2018 A tragic story about a young, energetic high school girl diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that is terminal enjoying her last days with your average, gloomy high school boy who subsequently never decided to socialize with his peers until he met Sakura. it's not only tragic, but absolutely romantic with a ointment of comedy. This manga has taught me a lot about self improvement! The courage touch society again! And most importantly, to love...! It's all about living your very last days to the fullest with your love interest. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. This... ... This is boring and absolutely uninspired. I don't understand why is this manga is getting a lot of praise. I think this is one of the most overrated anime that just plasters the plot point "Terminal cancer" just to imply that this is going to be a tragic, romantic story when in reality it's just an average love story that is also discount Your Lie in April that just plays with your heart because it makes you emotional...for no reason whatsoever. The art is very boring, and pretty much generic if I have to sum it up. Literally nothing special to even call it a masterpiece. Some of the characters were pretty much left out, and some that were introduced were very boring and was forced to love each other because the plot calls for it. If anyone says that I'm a cruel, ignorant, and a no-soul person for disliking something that is a common problem in the real world then I'm just gonna say that you're really wrong. Overall, this manga is absolutely boring because the chemistry between Shiga and Sakura is incredibly weak to call it emotional, the art is generic with no unique styles, the terminal cancer plot in this story just plays with your emotions, some characters are left out, and god I don't know why this is getting an adaptation in a form of a movie. Jul 24, 2017 "We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best." - Aristotle. A manga adaptation of a novel of the same name, Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai is a story that examines the fragile but purposeful nature of human life through recounting the unlikely relationship between a dying girl and a hollow boy. Ironically with the deterioriation of one person's health another was brought to life from the shell of a human he once was. Whether the encounter of ... Tragedies that tug at one's heartstrings are dime a dozen these days, but tragedies of exceptional caliber evoke any emotion but forlornness. Towards the girl who is no longer there, sorrow is only secondary to the respect and appreciation I have come to perceive her with as a reader. "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long." To the flame itself, perhaps, it matters not how long or bright it flares, but often that very brightness is what gives countless others the security of warmth. Nothing past the beginning of beginning of the series is spoiled Sep 4, 2017 Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai or more well known as I want to Eat your Pancreas is no zombie or horror story rather it is a heartfelt story about a girl with terminal cancer. The title of this story simply comes in term with a scene in the beginning when the audience finds out that this girl, a classmate of the MC, has pancreatic cancer and that "I want to eat your ____" refers to the old saying of "If I eat your body part, my body part will get better." I want to eat your Pancreas first and foremost is the only manga/light novel ... Feb 26, 2018 >>Spoiler-Free<< "No one, not even me, was truly a reed boat. To be swept away or not - we were the ones to choose" ~Secret-Knowing-Classmate-Kun "I met the full-bloomed cherry blossom Sakura girl, and my fate had begun to change" ~My edited version of Your Lie in April Slogan. Yes, sometimes life can force ordeals, troublesome people or situations upon. But at the end, we make many choices. The you reading this review is reading it because he/she chose to do so -And I'm thankful-. This review is here because I made the choice of writing it after being moved by the novel. ... But despite their differences, they "get-along" well. You spend time between their trips, chit-chat & Black comedy. It's because of their differences, that each one is an interesting mystery to the other. But the side we see more is the boy's side since he is the narrator. You join the boy's journey of knowing what it means to live in Sakura's eye and watch him as he changes little by little. Being alone can be comfortable, but loneliness means you can only "imagine what others think of you"...But never really know. "It's not easy to involve yourself with people". But it can be worth it. After all, "People are defined by their involvement with others". The story is about knowing oneself, knowing the others. But more than that....It's about knowing the "You" that the others see. Always remember that changing....is a choice. After reading this you'll think about the choices you made, the choices you want to make & your definition of living. Watching the sick Sakura living her life to the fullest will move something in you. Encouraging you to make use of everyday..to have fun, to know more people, to convey your feelings "The value of each and every day is the same - no matter what I did, to me, the value of today won’t change". The tile that suggests Cannibalism "I want to eat your pancreas" is actually pretty romantic yet so tragic once you know the context. NOTE I'm reviewing the novel. I will read the manga then update the review if needed, although unfortunately, only 6 chapters out of 10 are translated to English Apr 17, 2018 I was just going to write this off as a writer that got too into his story and screwed it up for the sake of catching the reader by surprise. Then I saw how the top reviews were all 10 stars so now I have to give a counterpoint so that you all don't get blindsided by the people that were saying how this is perfect the way it is flaws and all. I'll say this right now the story, character, and art are superb. I firmly enjoyed this story...until a certain point. I won't give direct spoilers but the writers ruined the story with a ... It pisses me off that I had to write this. Sorry guys but you will get emotionally invested just for the author to be a complete dick for no reason that enhances the story. Jan 23, 2019RecommendedPreliminary 8/10 chp This is my first review ever....so go easy on me senpai. uwu After reading this light novel, I cannot sit still and not praise this piece of work. When I first picked up this book, and read the title, I couldn't help but laugh, thinking it was a comical book. Boy, was I in for a surprise... Throughout reading this book, it felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. I felt happy...I felt devastated, I felt on edge as well as feeling satisfied. This book filled me with hopes, it crushed me mentally and emotionally at times. Not only did this book took me through series ... Mar 16, 2020 Personally, I really loved this manga. For me, The experiences in my life really made me cry at this manga. For that reason I may show bias towards it. However, I would still really recommend it. *Minor Spoilers* Story 10 I can see why people can find this story boring or really unappealing. For me personally I enjoyed the story. It kinda felt like "Your Lie in April". I really enjoyed that anime. One thing I will say about the story is you feel like something is going in a path you can't really change. Like in most "Tear-jerk" ... Art The art is relatively decent. It really anything that is focused on too much. It wasn't so bad that I had to ignore it, yet it wasn't really good that it stood out to me. Overall it didn't really effect my emotion towards the characters or effect my enjoyment at all. Character 10 The characters in this manga aren't perfect but I really enjoyed them. Kyouko was a perfect character in my opinion, she really reminds me of some of the people in my life, and really made me feel something. I grew attached to her, and became rather happy with her development. Again I hate to put such a big personally bias on this review, but she really reminded me of those who I have lost in my life. For whatever reason life seems to take the angels and those who we love. Its truly unfair and she gave me the feels. Protagonist I really liked how the manga chose polar opposite characters and threw them together. This is common in writing but I barely ever see it down in a way that really makes me feel something. We get to see him change throughout the whole manga. We get to see how just one person can change a man. I believe everyone in the world has had someone change there out look on life so I could really relate to him. Enjoyment My enjoyment might have been situational. I had a big fight with my friends before reading this. So I might not have enjoyed it this much if not. However, this manga literally couldn't have come at a better time. Again it truly made me rethink how precious my friends and my life is. I really recommend this manga if you aren't doing the greatest! It really made me feel better. Overall 10 I love these types of manga a lot. A Silent Voice is my favorite movie after all. If I had to sum up this manga in one sentence it would be "Who cutting onions in here". I really recommend! Sep 15, 2019 *spoilers* I have no idea why people like this manga so much. The driving plot device is the heroine is dying of some pancreas disease. The characters are cliche with no likeable characteristics between them. The boy is sullen and friendless - considering relationships to be a waste of time as they will only hurt him in the end. The girl is basically a deredere The girl falls in love at first sight as usual and the boy is clueless as to why they're suddenly going on dates all the time. That's basically the manga. They go on dates. Basic romance, nothing interesting happens, it's been done a ... Ok now the ending. The last nail in the coffin. She's been into hospital a bunch because of her pancreas disease. He's feeling sad and realises that he loves her too The girl decides to escape hospital and surprise him at his house. However... dundundun! She gets stabbed. This was briefly foreshadowed shortly before with a news story about a serial stabber about. That's it. She gets stabbed. There's probably some sort of deep meaning on the futility of life in there... 'I want to eat your pancreas' is hands down the laziest, uninteresting rendition of the 'person dying falls in love' concept ever made. There are others with this concept but with unique takes on the concept and actually interesting and moving plots Your Lie in April I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year Our Happy Time The movie isn't any better. Feb 20, 2020 I really liked this manga. "It was very heartbreaking and it was funny!" -me lol !SPOILERS AHEAD! STORY 9/10 This was very fun to read I think it was perfect how Sakura was always happy when he was around but when he left she cried in fear of the pancreatic disease and when it will kill her. The story was very creative and especially to come up with the pancreatic disease idea. ART 7/10 It was normal. ... ENJOYMENT 10/10 I was never bored reading this because something was always going on and I enjoyed reading as these lovable characters grew closer. OVERALL 9/10 Good manga! The ending was very disappointing I was sad but we all knew it would end with her death, of course, Sakura died unfortunately with not a pancreatic disease but a murder and that set me to tears because as the boy said it shouldn't have happened this day. So much positivity put to rest so soon. Jan 15, 2018RecommendedPreliminary 5/10 chp Among the reviews that call this manga a 'masterpiece' there's my review that gives it an 8/10. You might think 'Why? What's wrong with it?' First of all, originality. This manga is the same as Orange with a mix of Koi to Uso in my opinion. People compare it to 'Your Lie in April' too, but since I've never read/watched that I can't speak about it. The characters aren't that interesting. The main character is anonymous and his multiple nicknames change after each chapter. You don't know if you should call him 'glasses-kun', 'mr. friendly' or 'mr. invisible'. He is a beta male and even though he is ... The main girl suffers from cancer and she'll die soon, but she always smiles. Don't get me wrong, I don't need 100% despair but I want realistic reactions. There are some times she seems serious but then she laughs it off and that just got on my nerves! What I find horrible is that the main girl wants to do activities before dying such as sleeping in a hotel room with another guy in the same bed, lying to her parents, drinking alcohol etc. Also there was a scene in which she told the guy that she wanted to do 'naughty stuff with him'. A real sick girl wouldn't be that careless unless she was stupid. Basically, the title itself is horrendous. As for the art, it's quite good and clear. It deserves a 10/10. So, should you read Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai? If you like death/stories that will make you cry/romance, then yes. But if you hate reading about a teenage girl doing dangerous stuff and laughing off a serious matter & you want realism, then skip this. Read Tokidoki instead. Jan 17, 2018 I want to eat your pancreas. At first glance this would confuse you, but once you've read it you''ll come to realize that's it is like nothing you thought of. After reading the novel, and manga, I've been really touched by this novel. I hear a lot of critics saying the story is too cliche, having it be about romance involving illness. However, reading the manga is not enough. I suggest reading the novel itself to really understand everything. It teaches you about how to appreciate your life and to come to a conclusion that not everyday is guaranteed, so it makes you believe that ... Mar 13, 2021 So I watched the anime adaptation, the live adaptation and I only now need to read the LN after finishing the manga. I'm basically going backwards lol.... but anyways... I think if you haven't checked out the two adaptation, it's worth a watch. The live action is called, "Let me eat your pancreas." Each of them present the overall story basically with the same idea and concept with some unique differences that if you see all three, you can tell. I won't go into details about them or say which one of the three is the best. Since I enjoyed all three equally and like ... Nov 10, 2018 A tragic romance that unfolds in retrospect from the very first chapter, Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai is a story about the complex relationship that develops between the main character and Sakura, who is suffering from a terminal illness. The story is touching and accomplishes its goal of putting a unique perspective on life through dynamic dialogue between the main characters. Although I felt that the pacing of the story was a bit rushed, it was easy and satisfying to see the characters grow with each other. That being said I feel like there are other alternatives that accomplish the same things and that are ... Summary A sweet story that I would recommend if you want something short but if you're willing to read a little more I think that Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is executed better than this manga. Dec 29, 2022 I think I first heard of this from a YouTube video. The title stayed with me, even though I retained very little about what it was about. I just remember it being a series that the person in the video recommended highly. When I saw my library had bought the manga, I thought I would give it a try since it was an entire story in just one volume. I predicted the ending almost straight away, and people who are familiar with series with a similar premise probably will, too. For the first few chapters, the story and characters seemed so unremarkable that I considered ... Mar 19, 2022 The story revolves around an unnamed high school student who is introverted and shy, who picks up and starts reading a hand-written book about a girl dying of a pancreatic disease. A classmate of his, Sakura, then sees him with the book, asking if he had read it. She then asks him to keep this disease a secret, since no one besides her family knows. The two slowly grow closer together, as she invites him out since he is the only one she feels she can truly be herself around. This story reflects on what it means to live with a terminal illness and of ... Mar 3, 2023 This is a cute and short story. You'd think you understand where the story is headed given the premise, but I enjoyed how the author subverted my expectations. Well, I say I enjoyed it but it was more like shock and sadness. The conclusion raises some questions for me, but I don't think they're ever directly confirmed. I did enjoy the contrast in personalities between the MC and FMC. Perhaps I'm dense, but I still don't understand why FMC puts so much effort into her relationship with the miserable bastard that is the MC. Still, I don't necessarily dislike miserable, self-loathing MC's. Logically it also doesn't track ... Feb 19, 2020 Warning spoilers ahead. I've never liked slice of life mangas or animes, but I decided to give this one a try since one of my friends seemed to have enjoyed reading it. "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" is a manga with an extremely simple and predictable plot. The girl who's always happy is secretly suffering from a terminal illness, and the loner guy who she accidentally meets at the hospital finds out about her secret. They get closer and spend as much time together as they can within one year before her scheduled death time. I am sure a lot of people are intrigued by the ... But that was it. They continued to live. I don't remember the other times they went out and she kept 'surprising' him with how much she wants to get involved with other people, in contrast to his sad self who has not had even one friend since he was born. Somewhere along the way the both of them tell each other how they admire the other for their contrasting ways of living. Her condition worsens and she is put into the hospital. Her condition worsens further. She finally gets discharged after a long while. The two agree to go on a date to a cafe. The guy waits for her in the cafe and they text each other like a pair of teens sickeningly in love, disregarding the fact that she was probably going to die real soon and he shouldn't have developed any feelings for her. The guy thinks of something he could say that would express how much he adores her, and ends with "I want to eat your pancreas" so that he could have a part of her and be cool like her or whatever. She never came to the cafe. He stays in the cafe until their closing time and wonders where she went. He goes home and the living room TV is on, and the news anchor reports of a young teenage girl being stabbed. It was her. His world collapses. Now, this was supposed to be tragic and evoke tears or whatever, but somewhere at the beginning, there had been a scene where his mother was watching the TV and they were airing news about a serial killer on the loose at a certain area, yet he paid no real mind to it. Although the writers probably wanted to convey the message/warning to the readers of how you don't really know when, where, or how you'll die, that was a poor attempt at a foreshadow. Everything was so predictable from beginning to end, it's a miracle I even finished reading this. I don't even remember their names - that's how insignificant this manga is to me. The characters were rather static and had bare minimum character development and relationship buildup. I literally couldn't stand the both of them and the cheap and weak attempts at philosophical beliefs regarding life and how to live it. It's as if all you need is a sick character and another that somehow for some obscure reason ends up falling in love with the former, fully acknowledging the fact that their love is 'forbidden' or better off non-existent. This was not enjoyable, but at least just slightly better than the movie adaptation.
Thebiggest surprise in I Want To Eat Your Pancreas is how funny it is. Sakura is well aware of her impending death, so she copes with it with deadpan gallows humor that may make some audience

Five high school classmates
I purchased this novel from Chicago’s Kinokuniya store location for I now have a car again and am super happy that I am able to go to Kinokuniya more often. I’m just more excited about books when I can pick them out in person and it makes me happy to randomly spot a book that has been on my mind for a while. I was on the look out for some light reading and decided to pick up some books by Sumino Yoru as it seems like his books are popular in the language learning community. I have heard of I want to eat your Pancreas君の膵臓をたべたい but I was surprised to find that this book was a runner up for the 2016 Booksellers Award. That really peaked my interested and helped me to make the purchase. I also picked up a copy of Sumino’s Blue, Painful and Brittle青くて痛くて脆い. Sumino’s novels tend to turn into many other forms of media such as movies, anime, and manga which can make these novels great language learning tools. I want to write reviews for more novels that would be useful for language learners who are more towards the start of their literary journey, but its hard as I live in America and do not have access to low priced books or normal Japanese libraries. While I have found some libraries that have Japanese novels, they are all closed to the public due to COVID. I am hoping that once the vaccine starts rolling outI am getting mine December 2020!!! that it will be easier for me to find lower level books to read. Story review This is a story of how two complete strangers form a bond over a shared secret and slowly/quickly become friendsdepends on who you ask. Haruki is a quiet bookworm who spends his time avoiding all forms of social interaction and being holed up in his room reading novels. Haruki is waiting in the lobby of a hospital for a post-surgery check up when he finds a random novel that someone has left behind. Being the book lover that he is, he picks up the book to see that that person was reading only to find out that is was a diary. With in the first few sentences, the author of the diary mentions that they have less then a year to live and are working on living a good life with their sickness instead of living in fear. Haruki feels bad about accidentally invading someones privacy and starts to put the book back before hearing someone call his name. It was someone from his school that was in the same class as him but who he has never had a real conversation with before. Sakura mentioned that her illness was a secret and asked Haruki not to mention it to anyone else. Haruki thought that life would go back to normal, but suddenly Sakura also decides to work in the school library with him and they start spending more time together. Sakura isn’t much of a reader and doesn’t really know any novels outside of The Little Prince. Haruki doesn’t seem to understand why Sakura would want to waste her short life in the library and thinks she should be out there doing something exciting. But Sakura’s idea of living her life is experiencing as much of the everyday experiences as she can. Haruki asks her about what she wants to do before she dies and she starts to invite him on little outing such as spending too much money at restaurants and going to cute cafes. From the start of this novel, the author made the stylistic choice of not writing down the main characters nameHaruki. There is a lot of dialog in this book, so in place of the characters name, there is a description of the character followed by a name suffix. Like Mr. classmate who knows my secret’ or Mr. plain looking classmate’ depending on what time the conversation is taking place in the story line. Despite this choice, it is really easy to keep track of which character is which. But it does contribute to the fact that the main character falls a bit flat. The male student is like a blank state. His personality is description is basically just a lack of personality all together. His only hobbies are reading novels and avoiding social interaction. Its almost like his only use in the story is to be a vessel for the life lessons that the character Sakura has to teach. Sakura herself seems to fall into the trope Manic Pixie Dream Girl.’ Let’s say you’re a soulful, brooding male hero, living a sheltered, emotionless existence. If only someone could come along and open your heart to the great, wondrous adventure of life… She is the childlike whimsical girl who is attractive, popular, energetic and she is here to change Haruki’s life and bring him out of his shell. It seems both strange to the reader and the main character themselves that this type of girl would take a sudden interest in such a boring guy. While Sakura seems like the perfect personification of this trope at times, Sakura is an individual with her own motivation who is going through major life changes with her current illness. I just wish that in the novel they showed more of how Sakura acted with her other classmates. I would love to see how it compares. Sakura claims that she no one else in class knows about her illness and her conversations with the main character really seem to center around her death and how she is trying to handle it. Is Sakura just a stereotype of a bright and energetic popular high school student who only lives for others? Is she hiding her pain behind her smile? Or is she just able to finally be herself to the one classmate who randomly found out her secret? While there are some issues with the story, I really like how this author was able to write dialog in a way that seemed completely natural. Sometimes what the characters were saying didn’t match up 100% depending on their own motives or attention spans. A lot of books have dialog that seem too scripted or stiff, but this book just have the perfect about of randomness that made it seem like a real conversations that would happen between classmates. My experience reading this book I bought this book expecting it to be an easy read. Like I think I had the image that it was written in a style for young students who just aren’t that into reading. But that wasn’t the case and the difficulty seems to be about average for books that I end up picking out for myself. I enjoyed the book, but if I would have taken the time to read a few more pages before picking it up, I think I would have rather picked a book with a more mature story line. Sometimes I have a hard time finding movies or TV shows to watch and end up watching media set in high schools and it gets old. But I knew that this author was popular with language learners and I am glad that I got the chance to read this book and write a review to help other decide if its a good fit for them or not. I have started to write an article reflecting on how I choose what novels to read and it got me thinking about how I have been really getting into the idea of reading books or watching movies that are really popular in Japan. I don’t really feel the same about media in English and the books I usually read then to be all over the place. I don’t go out of my way to read popular or award winning books in English. But for books in Japanese, looking at different awards and popularity rankings has become one of the main ways I pick out novels. I recently have been thinking about how to overcome cultural differences and increase the amount of shared experiences that I have with the average Japanese person. Since I was raised in a different country and a large part of the Japanese population is not used to interacting with those from a different culture I cannot help but think that increasing the amount of shared experiences will help with my friendships and relationships. Level Preface Just to give some background to my current level. I have been using Japanese for a long time now, but just decided somewhat recently to be more serious about gaining fluent literacy. This year I have finished reviewing over JLPT N2 materials and have started on N1. I am planning on taking N1 in 2021. I started reading novels in 2020 and have read over 20 to completion. Vocabulary N2 student level The vocabulary in this book was more difficult then I thought it would be. Just based off of the vocabulary, I think I would rate it a low N2 student level. But there are other factors involved that make me think that this book would be a good choice for N3 level learners. N3 level students who have already read a few books should be able to tackle this novel no problem despite the vocabulary. There are not many specific vocabulary groups that I found in this book. It is set in a high school with the main characters being high school students. There is a decent amount of vocabulary that is based on school life. One of the main characters does spend some time in a hospital as well, so there is some light use of medical terms. 笹船 – There is one word in this book that stuck out to me, 草舟そうしゅう・くさぶね. I have never seen the word before and it wasn’t in my dictionary. I looked it up online and it seems like quite a few people were looking it up specifically due to its appearance in I want to eat your Pancreas君の膵臓をたべたい. The best simple explanation I was able was on Yahoo and it said 「流されやすいと言う意味合いらしい」which I take to mean basically means someone is who too easy to persuade. A grass blade floating in a river really has no choice or influence in what direction it goes in. This seems to fit Haruki pretty well as while his only desire seems to be to read books while avoiding people, he pretty much goes along with whatever Sakura wants even though he complains about it often. Grammar N2 student level This book is written in first person from the perceptive of a high school student. Before buying this novel, I was convinced that all of Sumino’s books would be around a level N3 based off comments that I have read online. But after reading thought this book… it doesn’t seem to be the case. Due to the topics discussed in the book, a lot of the grammar seems to be written in a reflective or musing style that made use of lots N2 grammar points. The main character is well read which I think reflects in his sentence structures and thought process. But, I do think the the setting of the book itself makes the book fairly easy to understand. Its the story of two high school students spending time in basic settings such as the school library and cafes who are getting to know each other. You know right from the beginning that Sakura does not have a long time left to live. All of the characters in this novel speak in standard dialect, so even beginning readers will not find dialog to be too difficult in this novel. This book is fairly dialog heavy which might help readers get through the story more smoothly. The main character and Sakura’s speech are both properly gendered so language learners may be able to find good phrases to incorporate into their spoken Japanese. Also both of the main characters are the same age and speak in causal Japanese to one another. Cultural References I do not think that readers have to be very familiar with Japanese culture to understand this story. As with any story written by a Japanese person for Japanese people, reading any book will help you learn more about Japanese culture bit by bit. Who should read this book? Readers who have a strong grasp of N3 concepts. This is a great book for those who like anime or books that have many different forms of media. The age of the characters and the setting may put some people off from this book. The books I tend to read have characters that span from young children to elderly. But the style of this book does feel like it was written for a younger crowd in mind. For students who are at an earlier stage in their studies but a huge fan of the story line, I think this could still be a good book choice. I do think the the setting of the book itself makes the book fairly easy to understand. Its the story of two high school students spending time in basic settings such as the school library and cafes who are getting to know each other. You know right from the beginning that Sakura does not have a long time left to live. The concepts discussed in this book are not complicated and it is dialog heavy. These points combined with the fact that there are many of forms of media that one can use while going through through this book could make it a good choice for N3 level students as well. Length Medium At 325 pages long, this is not a short novel. There is a decent amount of language learning that can be done from this book considering the price. If possible, I think its a good idea to pick a sub-200 page book for a learners first novel, but this novel could be a solid choice as well due to the fact that it is very dialog heavy. Related Media If possible, I recommend reading The Little Prince星の王子さま before you start reading I want to eat your Pancreas 君の膵臓をたべたい. I read it in reverse and I think knowing the story of The Little Prince would have added more to my enjoyment of the book. The Little Prince is out of copyright in most countries so you will be able to find it online for free on many websites in many languages. You can read my review of The Little Prince here, and here you can find a free e-book on Aozora Bunko. The author of this novel, Sumino Yoru, has written a few other books as well. Notable titles are 『よるのばけもの』『青くて痛くて脆い』『か「」く「」し「」ご「」と「』and 「また、同じ夢を見ていた」. I have not read any of these novels yet but I do own Blue, Painful and Brittle青くて痛くて脆い and after looking over the first first pages, it appears to have a similar feeling to I want to eat your Pancreas 君の膵臓をたべたい. I have heard that 「また、同じ夢を見ていた」is a fairly easy book to read and am looking forward to reading it in the future. If you are the type to like to experience one story over different media formats this is the story for you! There is a live action movie. This movie slightly differs from the novel as it is written from the perceptive of the main character after he has become an adult and reflects back on his time at high school. I have not read the manga so I am not sure if the story line differs at all. But there is a two volume set being sold and the story line appears to be loyal to the novel. And then there is the animated movie! I love reading Japanese novels and have seen that many people want to read them but don't know where to start. I have decided to share my experiences to help people reach their literacy goals. View all posts by Kuri

It's never a coincidence. It's a choice. note I Want to Eat Your Pancreas Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai is a novel by Yoru Sumino, published by Futabasha in June 2015.

After that meeting, these two people who never talked to each other before begin to spend their remaining time together, and Sakura's influence on the protagonist starts to slowly change him for the better. This newfound relationship, however, does not go unnoticed by those around them, not least Sakura's wary best friend sequel novel, To My Father and to Someone in My Memories Chichi to Tsuioku no Dareka ni was given out in certain theatres with the animated film's release in 2018, and tells the story of the protagonist's daughter Fuyumi as she finds out about the story of her father and novel and its adaptations contain examples of Adaptation Expansion The live action film includes a segment from whole cloth set 12 years later showing Sakura's continued influence on the lives of those around her so long after her death. Conversely, the animated film includes a scene where Sakura and the protagonist watch a fireworks display, which is absent in the book.

Chekhov's News A murderer on the run is mentioned on TV which later the protagonist and Sakura discussed. The murderer later kills Sakura. Cherry Blossoms Heavily present in the story, especially given the main female protagonist is called Sakura and the beginning of the story takes place in early spring, rife with cherry blossoms. After her death in the animated adaptation, Sakura's continued influence is represented through a single cherry blossom petal on her tombstone. Sakura also compares herself to a cherry blossom tree, waiting to meet Haruki whose name means 'spring' to bloom, in her diary. Classified Information Haruki Shiga. The protagonist's name is changed to punny nicknames which usually concerning how others see him. It was later revealed at the end of the story when he talked with Sakura's mother. Another example is that Sakura has scribbled out his name in every entry of her journal, leaving black circles on his name. The Comically Serious A lot of comedy is milked from the protagonist's deadpan reaction to most things.

Death Is Dramatic Subverted. Sakura's death is offscreen and is never seen, with her killer being arrested and confessing to having killed her in an off-hand line. More emphasis is placed on the protagonist's reaction to her death. Defrosting Ice Queen Male version. The protagonist is shown acting indifferent towards Sakura's illness at first, but he starts to warm up after learning more about Sakura's true self. This is the reason why Sakura chooses him to spend her time with. Deadpan Snarker The protagonist himself, who replies to most of Sakura's cajoling with snark and dry comments. Deuteragonist As a romance, it can be debated which of Haruki and Sakura is the protagonist, and which the Deuteragonist.

Foreshadowing A stabbing criminal is discussed in the beginning of the movie. Turns out that same criminal would be the one that murdered Sakura. Friendless Background The protagonist. Taken to the extreme by having him claim to not remember having a single friend since elementary school. Gallows Humor By Sakura. No surprise, as she's the only character who is about to die.

It Always Rains at Funerals It does indeed rain at Sakura's. Lampshaded by the protagonist, who says that she wouldn't have liked it.

Never mind. Minor Major Character Sakura's ex-boyfriend is built up to be one of the main characters, but he only appears in two scenes. Manic Pixie Dream Girl A Reconstruction. The narrator becomes part of her life, but not the center of it. Sakura has a family, other friends she spends time with, and a best friend who naturally sees the narrator as an interloper. She needs something from him — a friend who won't overreact to her illness. And, it develops, she wants to learn something from him. Most of all, they share a friendship, not a romantic relationship. Friendship-with-benefits is on the table, but they have only teenage-level maturity to handle it. The characters acknowledge it might have become a romantic relationship, given enough time. Meaningful Echo The words "I want to eat your pancreas" are said several times in the story. They originally come up under the Black Comedy Cannibalism context with Sakura explaining that eating a healthy person's organs was believed to cure one's own diseased organ and therefore joking she should eat the protagonist's to cure her own illness. They come up again as the last words of Sakura and the protagonist to each other, the protagonist's final text to Sakura and the last words of Sakura's will, expressing the depth of their relationship by that point. Meaningful Name "Sakura", or cherry blossoms, are known for being extremely beautiful flower that only lasts for a week in April. Sakura is extremely energetic and optimistic, only to be revealed that she has pancreatic cancer and has a limited time to live, which gets cut short due to her murder. "Haruki" takes its first kanji from the word "haru", or spring, the season where cherry blossoms bloom. Our protagonist "blooms" Sakura into becoming the person she wants to be, and he does the same. She even remarks on the coincidence of their names matching so well in her will. In the sequel novel, Fuyumi, the protagonist's daughter. Fuyu, or Winter, comes after Spring. Named After Somebody Famous The protagonist. Both parts of his name come from famous Japanese novelists and are frequently mentioned on this site. Guess who. Haruki Shiga. Near-Rape Experience When Sakura makes very clear she doesn't want a romantic relationship, then pressures Haruki to have sex, then dismisses it as a prank, he feels like she's making fun of him and slams her to the bed. When he sees Sakura starts to cry, he realizes that taking his anger out on someone he cares about hurts them and him, then runs away. Nice Guy The student handing out gum to the protagonist. The protagonist's Character Development is displayed through his interactions with him; at first he rejects the gum, and towards the end he accepts his gum, and implicitly his friendship. No Name Given The protagonist's name isn't revealed until the end, only referred to as I/"Boku" 僕. His name is eventually revealed to be Haruki Shiga. Not So Stoic The protagonist, three times See Near-Rape Experience above After Sakura is killed, he is so visibly distraught he refuses to attend her funeral and doesn't recover enough to visit her family home until days later. The animated adaptation amplifies this by showing him walking out of the living room after seeing the news broadcast announcing her death and stumbling on the stairs to his room, unable to get up. After reading Sakura's farewell message, the protagonist finally sobs in front of her mother. Not The Illness That Killed Them While Sakura is dying of pancreatic cancer, she actually ends up getting murdered by a serial killer. Not What It Looks Like When Sakura forces the protagonist to hug her in the hospital, Kyoko walks in. Cue a friend's rage. Is Serious Business See Near-Rape Experience above. Opposites Attract How the protagonist and Sakura view each other. She explicitly states as much in Living with Dying, which Haruki reads after her death. The Philosopher Sakura Yamauchi. Despite her 'messy' attitude, her view of life and death is remarkable. Plot-Based Voice Cancellation During a train ride, the protagonist tells Sakura his name. The animated film cuts to a noise from the train as he's saying it. The Pollyanna Subverted with Sakura Yamauchi. Although she's shown to be carefree and has a happy-go-lucky attitude, she's actually desperate that she wouldn't be able to tell the truth to her beloved ones and she'll die. Alone. The Prankster Sakura Yamauchi, who spends a lot of time teasing and prodding at the protagonist. This is especially shown off during the Truth-or-Dare game and the protagonist's visit to her house, where her tendencies end up going too far. The Promise The protagonist makes Sakura promise to tell him when she'll die, and promises in return to return her copy of The Little Prince. Both promises are broken when Sakura is murdered. Red Eyes, Take Warning Red-eyed Kyoko is one of the more hostile characters to the protagonist. Red Oni, Blue Oni The protagonist's blue to Sakura Yamauchi's red, and Sakura herself being the friendlier blue to Kyoko's more suspicious Red. The Reveal The protagonist's name and the contents of the Disease Coexistence Journal. In order, his name is Haruki Shiga, and the contents of the diary include a will directed specifically at Haruki for him to read after her death. An example exclusive to the novel's epilogue. The protagonist tells a story to Sakura about his First Love, a girl who referred to everything, even inanimate objects with "-san". He later reveals, while visiting Sakura's grave, that he lied not having the heart to correct Sakura due to seeing her reaction, and the phrasing he uses afterwards heavily implies Sakura was his First Love. Running Gag One of the classmates keeps offering the protagonist gum. One of the signs of his change in attitude is his eventual acceptance. Safety in Indifference The protagonist's motivation in having no friends; if he doesn't have any friends, he can't be hurt, therefore remaining indifferent to others keeps him safe. He repeats this after the Near-Rape Experience and subsequently being beaten down by Sakura's ex-boyfriend, but Sakura convinces him it's worth continuing their friendship. Secret Diary Sakura's Disease Coexistence Journal. She Is Not My Girlfriend Female version. Sakura usually answers this every time someone asks about her relationship with the Random Kid Are you two going out?Sakura Nope! We're just good Random Kid [confused] The protagonist also says this to Takahiro and Kyoko, who are unconvinced due to the amount of time he and Sakura spend alone together. Spiritual Successor A number of reviewers and viewers, including IGN and this one, spoilers! draw comparisons between this and Your Lie in April, with both involving an energetic Ill Girl secretly afraid of her mortality who draws a troubled, withdrawn male protagonist out of his shell. Both female protagonists die with unfulfilled promises to the male protagonists. Both works also draw heavily on Cherry Blossoms imagery and its connotations regarding the transience of life and love. Starts with Their Funeral With Sakura's, to be specific, and the protagonist not attending it. The Stoic The protagonist is unemotional and antisocial, before meeting Sakura. The Stinger After the animated film's credits, the protagonist and Kyoko visit Sakura's grave together. Suicide as Comedy Pulled by Sakura during the hardware store scene. It made the shop assistant confused, Excuse me, I'm looking for a rope for suicide. But the one that won't leave a scar. What kind of rope do you think will do? That Was the Last Entry The Disease Coexistence Journal stopped on the date of Sakura's death and the protagonist's final message to Sakura. There Is Only One Bed Subverted by the protagonist. After bringing Sakura to the bed in the hotel, he sleeps on the sofa. Though he does relent after a Truth or Dare session in the animated movie. Took a Level in Cheerfulness The protagonist gradually becomes less aloof and starts to look at the world with a smile thanks to Sakura's influence. Title Drop See Black Comedy Cannibalism above. It is also dropped again twice towards the end; the protagonist's final message to Sakura, and the final line in Sakura's will. Trailers Always Spoil The third trailer makes no attempt to hide that Sakura's cheerfulness is a Stepford Smiler act. Two-Teacher School The only teacher that shows up is Sensei, the librarian, and he does not appear in the animated film adaptation. Unresolved Sexual Tension Between Sakura and the protagonist, due to Sakura's illness and the protagonist's antisocial tendencies. The Foregone Conclusion ensures that it remains unresolved. Wham Line Sakura being the victim of the criminal as relayed through the news comes as a shock to protagonist and audience alike. Wham Shot Sakura's murder on the news headline. The final line of The Disease Coexistence Journal has these words "I want to eat your pancreas", which was the last text the protagonist sent Sakura. Will They or Won't They? The story goes back-and-forth on whether the protagonist and Sakura will act on their feelings. It ultimately doesn't matter, seeing as Sakura dies by the end. The heavy implication is that the only reason they didn't act on their feelings was due to Sakura's impending death, however. What Does She See in Him? The protagonist and Sakura's classmates are wondering why Sakura want to spend her time with the quietest and most unattractive guy in the class. What Is This Feeling? The protagonist is unaware of his own feelings up to the point where he reads Sakura's journal after the funeral. Your Days Are Numbered Sakura, due to her terminal pancreatic disease, has only a limited time left to live. Her time is reduced as her condition worsens although she is murdered before her disease can kill her.

Itcaptures their unique relationship and the idea that if someone eats you, your soul will live on within them. It also ties in with an ancient theory that if you had an illness, like a pancreatic problem, eating a pancreas would help cure you. This anime is based on a web novel of the same name and was written by Yoru Sumino in 2014.
TheVerdict. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas tells a touching coming-of-age story that celebrates life in the face of death, though a more subtle delivery would have made it a stronger film. Its stellar art direction makes up for shortcomings in the animation department, with beautiful backgrounds rich with detail and a vibrant color palette that
