Coup de coeur
(Manga), by Anthony
I want to clear this up first. You may want to know why the title of this manga is like a horror manga title. For that, I must take a little extract from the manga: “If someone in the past had a part of their body that wasn’t well, they would eat the corresponding part of another animal.” Throughout reading this book, it felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. I felt happy...I felt devastated, I felt on edge as well as satisfied. This book filled me with hope, it crushed me mentally and emotionally at times.This story reflects on what it means to live with a terminal illness and two people with opposite personalities growing together. I loved the story so much that I read it 3 times.
Also known as Let Me Eat Your Pancreas, the manga version of the coming-of-age novel that inspired two films! In this deeply moving first-person story, an introverted high school boy finds his classmate’s diary—and learns her biggest secret. Yamauchi Sakura is dying from a pancreatic disease and now he is the only one person outside her family to know the truth. The last thing the boy wants is to be her friend, but Sakura’s cheerful demeanor and their shared secret draw them together in this heartrending tale of friendship and mortality.
