I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a beautifully written and emotionally powerful novel by Yoru Sumino. Told from the perspective of a quiet, introverted high school boy, the story follows his unexpected friendship with a cheerful and lively classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, who is secretly battling a terminal pancreatic illness.As their bond deepens, the two navigate life, mortality, and the meaning of connection. Despite the seemingly morbid title, this book is a tender exploration of human emotion, youth, and the importance of living fully. Poignant and poetic, it blends heartbreak with hope in a way that stays with the reader long after the final page.
