Story: (8/10)
2 volumes and 10 chapters. That's all it took for I Want To Eat Your Pancreas to create a magnificent and enveloping story. I Want To Eat Your Pancreas doesn't wait for anyone. From the very first chapter, it throws the reader into the meat of the story and it takes this approach through almost all the chapters. The pacing is fast and quick but I didn't mind it. There is a lot about this story that gets thrown at your from the very beginning and with the manga only being 10 chapters, it's pretty understandable that the pacing would be quick but as you read, the less and less you mind of that. The story I Want To Eat Your Pancreas tells almost completely distracts you from the pacing.

The story tackles a lot of themes. From romance to the philosophy of life and death and it the story does it well. It doesn't take your standard approach to romance where the two main characters struggle to confess their love but rather, the story romanticizes friendship and social relationships and it seamlessly transitions that into the philosophies of life and death. What does it mean to be alive? How do we know that we are truly living everyday like it's our last? It's these themes that are talked about in I Want To Eat Your Pancreas that make the story so exciting and lovable.

Art: (6/10)
The art isn't super spectacular, nothing is drawn in super detail and the characters themselves are drawn uniquely enough to differ themselves from the other characters in the manga but not unique enough to have it standout from other manga's. However, there are some unique aspects of the art that do lend some praise. For example, the main female lead's name is Sakura which means Cherry Blossoms and if you pay attention to some of the panels that include Sakura in them, you get to see her or part of her drawn with a fade of cherry blossom leaves.

Characters: (8/10)
The characters themselves are quite predictable and with how the story begins, the predictability of the characters leads to the predictability of the story but it doesn't matter as nearly as much as you think it would. Everyone hates predictability, you want to be surprised, you don't want to know what happens next. But, as you read, it's less about how it's going to end and more about the road that it takes to get there. The adventures you'll go on, the stories the characters make, and that is exactly the characters in this series present themselves. It's less about the main character's predictable personalities and more about how they grow from one another, how you see how the characters were and how they are now after spending time with each other. That is the epitome of a coming of age story... growth.

Enjoyment: (7/10)
Like I said in the very first sentence of my review. 2 volumes and 10 chapters. That's all it took for me to be completely enveloped within the story I Want To Eat Your Pancreas shaped. In just 10 chapters, the author was able to create a story so wonderful it even eclipses of those manga's with 100+ chapters. I love story driven series, especially those that touch on those topics that aren't talked about a lot and that's exactly what this manga gave me.

Verdict:
I would definitely recommend this manga to just about anyone. It's a short read, 10 chapters and only about 35-40 pages per chapter. I easily found myself not wanting to stop reading it. The adventures that the main characters go on, how the grow with one another, the bittersweet conversations with one another they have. All of that and more will keep your attention and the 10 chapters will go by in the blink of an eye.
