Let Me Eat Your Pancreas (Japanese: 君の膵臓をたべたい, Hepburn: Kimi no Suizō o Tabetai) is a 2017 Japanese romance drama film starring Minami Hamabe, Takumi Kitamura, Keiko Kitagawa and Shun Oguri. Directed by Sho Tsukikawa, it is based on the 2015 novel I Want to Eat Your Pancreas by Yoru Sumino.[1][2]
An introvert boy, Haruki Shiga, comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. Looking through the book, he discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate, a girl. The girl, Sakura Yamauchi, happens to see him holding her diary and reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Sakura then playfully forces Haruki to attend to all her whims and fancies. Initially, Haruki begrudgingly accedes to her requests, citing the excuse that he is merely putting up with a sick classmate. However, as time passes, he finds himself being drawn to her and he begins to enjoy the time he spends with her.
