This manga pulls you in with a strange title and then breaks your heart at the end with a less cringey but still reminiscent of The Fault in Our Stars story about two high schoolers who meet while one is dying of terminal illness. Although there are some awkward moments along the way, the character development in this one is strong and the messages about connecting with others are resounding. I loved the reference and parallels to Sakura's favorite book The Little Prince and found that some of the deep and emotional messages in that book really rang true in this one. I can't wait to watch the anime movie adaptation of this and sob lol.

I’m coming to realize that Sumino’s style is to present you with an intriguing and unique plot, but the twists and turns leave you contemplating so much more. Sumino is great at gradually revealing new information.

Oki so this manga is a emotional rollercoaster! Cute and lighthearted at the start. Towards the end of the manga I yelled at it, cried my eyes out and almost threw the book to the other side of the room. A rollercoaster indeed

Awgh this book!! It was an experience with many emotions - heartwarming, heartbreaking, lovely and cute, sad, stressful and almost every other emotion. We follow two high schoolers, Haruki who is socially reserved, awkward and keeps himself to himself who finds Sakura’s journal stating she is dying of pancreatic cancer. He is the only one who know outside of her family and so they start a friendship which turns out to be so necessary for both of them. They go on adventures and a lovely strong bond begins to blossom. There are some unexpected events but I won’t explain anymore as not to ruin anything. Important messages are portrayed, the characters are super lovable and emotive - you crave fulfilment and positivity to come their way. They are also just so cute and the art style pushed this further with lovely drawings really encapsulating the character’s expressions, thoughts and feelings.
I really loved this and was super close to tears at many points. The bittersweetness really shines through and tugs on your heartstrings from start to end. I read this is nearly one sitting as was so encapsulated by the story and characters. This was my first manga and I will certainly be reading more soon.
