About I want to eat your pancreas:
With no interest in others, a high schooler spends all of his time reading books – this is “me.”
One day, I comes across a book, titled “Living With Dying.”
It turns out to be a secret journal kept by Sakura Yamauchi, who is a popular girl in class with a genuine personality. Diagnosed with a pancreatic illness, the diary notes about her limited time left.
Sakura, who lives with a secret illness, and “me,” who keeps her secret.
— Their relationship doesn’t have a name yet.
