___ #I want to eat your pancreas.

Have you read this title? What was your first opinion when you glance in a while toward the title? How about the after title reading? Was it different? Yes, it was.

The phenomenon of high school in the case of adolescence might lead to several circumstances. As to the negativity, it could lead to the warmth of loneliness, despair, and fraction in the chemistry of a relationship. As to the positivity, it could bring them to joyful happiness, charming moments, and endless love. What excitement does these stuff have? A lot. You could cease the end with a happily ever after or terminate it into the despairing kind of ending, or both.

So, let's set back into the current topic. If a person wants you to eat your pancreas, would you feel compliant to do so? The same occasion happens in this movie. Haruki Shiga, a nerd and also librarian whose ambition is nothing yet to avert people and establishing the reality underneath his expectation. He would never have expected his life would never be the same when he met a girl under the cherry blossom. Yamauchi Sakura, a girl whose energy was immeasurable and wanted to connect with the other people to feel alive. With both characters, they had encountered a lot of unexpected troubles, joys, and sadness altogether in their daily lives. Although they had a different perception of how to see life, they shared the similarities, like a cherry blossom with the spring are always together. As they are the main focus of this story, hence, let's not forget about the side characters. Kyoko Takimoto, Sakura's friend yet also somewhat Haruki's nemesis when it comes to protecting Sakura, she has the principle to protect her friend as much as she can. Takahiro, unlike Haruki, he was a popular student in the class and had a relationship with Sakura, while his bright side tends to be a nice yet so attentive person, his cryptic side could say the otherwise.

So, how's the story?
The story had begun when Sakura told Haruki that she had been languishing from a pancreatic ailment which could have killed her anytime and anywhere. She was looking for a person who calms with her sickness and as the benefit, she had told him to not tell anyone about her sickness and she wanted to enjoy her life before she had gone to the heaven. From this circumstance, the relationship between a pair of the indifferent yet unique human begin. Yes, it's about "Living and Dying." If you are living, you are dying and vice versa.

How's the additional stuff aloof from the story?
The songs were memorable, you could listen to the Opening theme for all-day-long. The art wasn't very unique yet it was so colourful when it comes to the animation. From the characters, Lynn's voice character as Sakura was quite distinct yet perfectly matched to her behaviour as an authentically cheerful character along with her chemistry to Haruki made a very good contradiction of both similarities in common. I can't say something specific about the other characters because I have no problem with it.

Why would you fancy the people to watch it?
It has the most essential yet profound stuff of life. Sakura once said that she knows when individuals are alive when they are connected. Once you've watched the movie, you'd have diverse opinion about being alive or surviving in common. You can't say you are alive when you can't survive or you are surviving when you can't be alive, it's about both. The movie also tells you the importance of understanding the connection between the other people, the unique of life, and the pursuits of living as an individual. Also, it's not only around eating someone's pancreas, it's rather than ingesting someone's alive to survive. It's also about to perceive someone's heart as you will have a desire to do anything to save someone's life. Yup, it's solely I can recognise regarding the aforementioned movie.
