I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (Manga): The Complete Manga Collection

Product Information

He begins to want to be more like her. More open to relationships of all kinds and he starts to grow as a person because of her. From the title, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, you may think that this is a Marvel comic book about Venom. Alas, it is something completely different. A beautifully touching manga about a dying girl and a true friend. It's original and it's honest. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas will certainly tug at your heart strings. I did not cry at this one but it did make my heart swell to double its size. It's one of those books that you finish, put down, and then sit in silent reflection for a few minutes before you're able to move on. When my friends and family members saw me reading this manga, they immediately asked me about the title. Like, who wouldn't, right? You don't encounter such titles every day. But this book doesn't have anything to do with cannibalism nor zombies. You might be surprised to learn that it's a very sad story of friendship (and could-have-been romance?).

See the reason I put [No Name]-Kun is because our hero doesn't give his name out. Well he does, but every time someone says it he pictures hearing what THEY think of him. So it makes for some funny scenes, and at the same time makes you feel awful for him. This is a clever story idea, similar to Silent Voice (another great manga) in which the character when looking at faces sees a huge X on them because he's too scared to actually look them in the face after being bullied for so long. So when No Name-kun finds the diary of Sakura and learns she has this disease she decides to befriend him completely. Seeing as he'll be the ONLY one she knows besides her direct family that knows about her dying.Keep in mind that at the point of writing this review, I have yet to see the movie, so however well the adaptation performed, it bears no influence on my evaluation of the novel. She sometimes teases about becoming romantic with him and it confuses him to no end. But the romance part is not the important part. Their friendship and their trust is what matters. They have something that goes far beyond first kisses. a b c d Ressler, Karen (March 15, 2018). "Let Me Eat Your Pancreas Anime Film Reveals Main Cast, Staff, Trailer". Anime News Network .

That said… beyond cringing over this kind of setting, when reading this I wasn’t bored most of the time. It’s no brilliant script, but it was quite an alright read. “But wait”, you might be saying at this point, “you’ve spent the whole intro tearing the premise apart, you’re saying it was just alright and yet you gave it a 7? What happened ta girl?” On flipside we have Sakura who, and this isn't a spoiler, has pancreas disease and is dying. She's outgoing, and uses her humor to cover up her pain. She loves people close to her and would do ANYTHING for them. Even shield them from the pain she's going through. This is something I do, and can relate to as well. So watching how she dealt with this terrible disease I can put myself in her shoes 100%. On the one hand, this could have turned out extremely trite, with characters working as living tropes and a storyline more predictable than the death of the character who walks into the basement during a horror movie. In the I Want to Eat Your Pancreas manga the story builds to this crescendo. You aren't sure how everything will be resolved even though we know how this must tragically end. Certainly it is a realistic ending and true love doesn't suddenly change things. I can appreciate that! However, the lessons and conclusions are unexpectedly focused in a different direction that you would normally expect dealing with death and grief... And that is a beautiful thing. I started reading this manga without reading the synopsis first knowing that it is well known for a reason, not knowing what to expect. A few chapters later then I remembered seeing people talking about how the anime makes them cry. Of course I didn't expect myself to even be giving in to that.I Want to Eat Your Pancreas Anime Film Casts sumika Band Members". Anime News Network. August 22, 2018 . Retrieved August 26, 2018.
