Stella Oct 04 2021 8:20 pm This story make me cried a lot.

When I read this novel, I cried. When I watch anime version, I cried too. And the last, live action version. Shitttt,,, I cried too.

I love this novel so much. Make me know many thing about live and relationship with other human.

Lalala01 Jul 25 2019 11:21 am What a beautiful movie!! The feeling after watching it wasn’t described by words. I cried a lot at the ending. Even tho it’s so bored at the middle. When it reaches to ending, I’ve started understanding the actual message which says “Life is short. So when we’re alive, stay and live with the one who we loved and cherish the moment that we’re together with.”

Sakura Jun 19 2019 3:51 pm I'll be honest, other than Shun Oguri something was missing in this film. Imo. I was not moved or cried, not even once yet Shun Oguri made "let me eat your pancreas" more memorable. Great job with the main actor who made the present day story line much more outstanding than the past story line.

Guava jo Mar 26 2019 9:34 am I cried soooo hard to this film which same with the book I already read. 9/10 for all the actors, but -1 for the twist. Recommended after all

Kentangajaib Oct 20 2018 10:45 am I did cried but

Also *SPOILER*

She died in such a dumb way, makes me forget what the actual movie title was exactly? What about her pancreas then? Ha.

patti Sep 15 2018 11:30 pm I cried so hard watching this!!! "I want to eat your pancreas" is such a beautiful expression. "I wanna live in you" Can yoj get more romantic than this? also loved Shun Oguri here and the leads ?

VanTies May 15 2018 2:19 am this is hard to describe what feeling u have after watching this movie ... 10/10 !!!! RECOMMENDED Takumi , Minami , Oguri .... Perfect combo ....

Harambe Minami Apr 22 2018 10:40 pm I read the novel after watching the movie and I loved how the movie presented it in it's own unique way.

Sakura has more funny lines in the novel though so I kinda wished this was a series instead ww

shun hardcorefan Apr 04 2018 1:05 pm TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!! 10/10 !!!

okay, I know I'm a bit biased on this(bcs I'm shun hardcorefan ^///^ ) but really, I really feel at the end of the story. Live while you still can. You don't know when your time will end, so live.

I like how the ending is different than I imagine so it all good ^///^ I mean it will totally make me bored if the ending happen like what I imagine so I'm really happy that it does not end like what I imagine ^0^ tomorrow I'll watch Lies in your April. Somehow I suddenly curious how Hirose Suzu will act in sad movie. Will she move my feelings? Well, who knows? :)

P.s. I just had a glance of suzu film, so I don't really know if it is sad movie :')

Mari Feb 20 2018 10:05 pm I love it when I discover new Japanese movies on flight and turned out the movies are very heartwarming. 10/10. SPOILER AHEAD!!! I hope this doesn't sound wrong, but I like it when the movie shows Sakura died suddenly not because of her disease. It shows that life is short and we won't even know how our ending. To enjoy our life to the fullest, like Sakura doing things she wanted to do before she dies, although not everything. Because this movie is so beautiful, I don't mind of not having them together at the ending. I love this movie to bits. A very beautiful movie that I don't care crying buckets in flight.

Saya Feb 11 2018 11:21 pm 10/10 super heart warming and motivated movie.

Anyway it's really amaze me how this movie somewhat very similar with "Kuzu no honkai" (sorry to mention a 18+ manga here). But, really they were like same message but let me eat ur pancreas delivers it in beautiful heartwarming way (plus couraging people to cherish every moment in their life) while kuzu no honkai tells it in a dark version. It is simply about a boy and a girl sharing secret then he play along with anything she wants unknowing that he started grow fond of her. The end is also same, they did not end up together (it shows how love in rl is not as sweet as most of movies told) afterall it tells us to keep moving forward, make the best of our lives and try to find someone we can love fully to spend the life.

Happy to stumble on this two beautiful story :)

Hanashi Feb 05 2018 3:36 pm my opinion exactly same like "Will", the guy below me. i cried louder than shiga did.

Will Feb 03 2018 1:28 pm I'm a man but i have no shame to admit this, it took me a week to completely move on from this movie. The feelings just didn't disappear no matter how i tried Lol, probably because many lines really related to my past. This movie teach us to cherish every single moment you have and don't let any feeling left unsaid, cause things never go as planned. BTW minami's act was really natural, naturally cute! same goes Takumi with his introvert trait.

Best Japanese movie in 2017 imo,

Mii Jan 31 2018 4:49 am This is actually a nice movie. You'll completely understand the thought behind the title after watching it. Had I watched it at home and not during my break time in the office, I would have cried. I was fighting my tears. T_T Unforeseen twists in the movie made it more heartrendingly realistic. And it proved one important lesson, to cherish each day we live. :)

P.S. Shun's crying is too much for me.. I cried seeing him with heavy tears. T_T

Youuu Jan 23 2018 2:21 am The title 'Let me eat your pancreas'（君の膵臓をたべたい） is based on Japanese famous proverb "Drink infusion of dirt under someone's nails"（爪の垢を煎じて飲む）. People use it when they meet great person that they want to imitate.(like: I want to drink infusion of dirt under your nails.)

Haruki(I) once tried to use this expression, but he wanted to delight Sakura. So, he deleted and changed to "Let me eat your pancreas". Like that, Sakura didn't want to finish her words with that very ordinary phrase. So, she chose same way as Haruki. When I knew this fact, I couldn't stop crying. What a wonderful movie!!

Swee Jan 23 2018 12:25 am This movie got me hit deep beneath. Never judge the book by it's cover as they say, as well as the title. I love the actors. The plot. And the entire story. It made me realize how short life is. Takumi ❤❤. Highly recommended movie. ?

Sku Jan 20 2018 11:15 am Just finished watching. Omg this movie is beautiful. I'm crying. 10/10. I highly recommend. All actors were great. Oguri shun ❤ takumi ❤.

kira Jan 20 2018 2:55 am omg i wanna watch i feel like if you liked your lie in april or anything with the same theme you would definitely love this film

araragi kun Jan 19 2018 9:15 pm ima dude but I cried like a baby watching this movie

kuro Jan 19 2018 9:12 pm Good movie. The cast were good.

Btw, Hamabe Minami looks like Shida Mirai.

Huh Jan 19 2018 3:07 pm Ah, what can i say about this. This is a very good movie drama to me though of course the ending is sad, still it somehow encourages everyone to love our lives living it to the fullest just because we don't know when our hearts will stop beating. Ah, what a nice drama. I loved it.

sakinah Oct 08 2017 2:23 am I thought the title was mistranslated....

Classmate-kun Sep 25 2017 11:55 am caught the movie in the theatres and it was great. read the book later on and realised the movie differs from the book slightly. felt that the book is better :)

K.C. Sep 19 2017 9:32 am An amazing way for Japanese to say love, after "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

Ayesha Aug 25 2017 6:22 am The title id oddly specific. I suspected zombies.

maya Jul 13 2017 11:16 pm i love this title, brings me joy

Hanaiki Jun 30 2017 9:24 pm Wow, another tearjerker movie. Just hoping it wouldn't end up like Koizora, or Sekai Chuusin

Charcoal Jun 30 2017 4:02 pm @Naishi your comment is too funny Lol.

hoon Apr 30 2017 10:36 pm just finished reading the novel, can't wait for the movie, minami is so cute ^^

Just random fan Apr 18 2017 7:10 am Sorry, but you are wrong. The title was translated correctly. It has special meaning, which will be uncovered later as you watch the movie. At least it was like this in the book

Dai-kun Apr 08 2017 3:51 pm Probably a better to translate this is 'I Want To Live Off Your Pancreas'. 食べる/"taberu" also has the meaning of 'to live off' or 'to subsist on'.

Basically, 'I want to share your pancreas' would probably be the best translation.

Sorry to be particular: the title just sounds weird otherwise!

H Mar 13 2017 5:28 pm Naishi Takamura is a troll

taka Feb 17 2017 6:02 am looks good, oguri guri is bae <3 Minami is cute too

kuro Feb 15 2017 12:41 pm @Naishi Takamura L A M E .

Jay Quintana Feb 14 2017 9:16 pm Got to confess, before I read the synopsis, I thought this was the stupidest title ever. Behooves one to not be so impulsive.

haru Feb 02 2017 3:30 am @Naisi: just what the hell are you talking about? Are you drunk?

Naishi Takamura Feb 01 2017 7:38 pm btw the sequel "I want to eat your liver" is wayyy better

minami cwan lover Jan 14 2017 6:36 am minami cwan is too cute. I've read the novel and despite it's weird title, the story is kinda sad and sweet. When will the teaser come out? I want to know what minami cwan look like in this movie lmao

hm Dec 31 2016 4:13 am the title is really weird, but sounds interesting. gonna watch it for takumi and minami-chan

animaxnorton Dec 22 2016 10:02 am @Naishi Takamura: "Release Date: Summer, 2017". Are you a time traveller?

Naishi Takamura Dec 10 2016 1:36 am Minami Hamabe is a really bad actor in this movie, very disappointing. She should go back to studying in school

Naishi Takamura Dec 10 2016 1:32 am Oh is this not a show? Oops nvm I hate this movie

Naishi Takamura Dec 08 2016 2:13 pm i love this show

bon bon Sep 15 2016 7:11 pm Woaaahh! I love the casting! I've always thought of Takumi x Minami before (but honestly I imagined of Minami Hamabe x Mizuki Itakagi). I can't believe they are really going to have a movie together.

That means Shun's and Keiko's characters will not end together in this movie?

Bu the plot is really interesting! This is going to be tear jerker.

Fulfil Sep 13 2016 8:15 am I dont understand that but will watch it for shun kun
