I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (Regular Edition)
 |
Description
Book Introduction
This is the first novel by Yoru Sumino, which ranked second in the 2016 Japan Bookstore Award. It tells the story of a boy who spends time with a girl who has been given a terminal diagnosis. This work began when I began posting manuscripts on a novel submission website under the pen name 'Yoruno Yasumi'. At first, it caught people's attention with its unconventional title, but despite being a story with a set ending, it began to gain traction through word of mouth, receiving praise for its delicate writing style and the author's ability to lead the story, and above all, for being fun. Afterwards, it caught the eye of a publishing editor and was published as a book, and the author gained tremendous attention and entered the Japanese literary world. 'Na', a self-consciously reclusive loner boy, accidentally discovers the secret of his super-positive and popular classmate, Sakura, and forms a temporary friendship with her by sharing her secret. I thought we were just temporary friends until you die, but somehow, something about her that I don't have is slowly being transferred to me. And it seems like a strange feeling is building up... As word of its fun spread, the book gained popularity among readers, and it not only won second place in the 2016 Japan Bookstore Awards, but also ranked first and second in various book-related rankings in Japan. The novel was also made into a film, which was released in South Korea on October 25, 2017. * The content of the standard and novel editions is the same, but there is a difference in format. (Standard version: 140*220mm / Noble version: 128*188mm) |

Into the book
“What’s going on here?”
“What’s going on? It’s my military library.
You know, because you read it. He was diagnosed with pancreatic disease and is writing it like a diary.”
“Are you kidding?”
Even though she was inside the hospital, she laughed out loud without hesitation.
“Do I look like I have such bad taste? That’s not even a black joke.
Everything written there is true.
“My pancreas is damaged and I will die soon, yes.”
“Oh, really?”
“Huh, that’s all? Don’t you have something else to say?”
Her voice became rough as if she was completely surprised.
“What should I say if my classmate tells me that he or she is going to die soon?”
“……Hmm, I think I would be speechless.”
"yes.
I hope you appreciate me for not being silent.”
“That’s true,” she said, giggling.
I couldn't figure out what she was joking about.
--- p.29
“I hate cremation.”
I was happily eating charcoal-grilled meat when she brought up a topic that was clearly out of place.
"what?"
I checked to see if I had misheard her, and she repeated it with an amused expression.
“I told you I don’t like makeup.
“It’s a bit strange to be roasted after death, isn’t it?”
“Is that something you talk about while grilling meat?”
“It feels like I’m really disappearing from this world.
“It would be difficult to get everyone to eat it, right?”
“Let’s not talk about disposing of corpses while eating meat.”
“You can eat the pancreas.”
“Are you listening to me?”
--- p.37
"Well? I know what you're trying to say, but even if you know my secret, is there something you absolutely want to do before you die?"
“……I guess I could say it’s not that there aren’t any.”
“But you’re not doing that now.
You or I might die tomorrow.
In that sense, you and I are no different, probably.
The value of each day is the same, so the value of my day doesn't change just because of what I did.
“I had fun today.”
--- p.20
“No, it’s not a coincidence.
We all came here by our own choice.
It's no coincidence that you and I are in the same class, or that we were in the hospital that day.
It's not like it's fate or anything.
The choices you've made so far and the choices I've made so far have brought us together.
“We each met of our own free will.”

“To live is….”
“…….”
“Perhaps it’s about connecting with someone other than me.
That's what we call living."

Reviews from Japanese readers who read this book first
I heard that this book would make people cry if they read it first, but I cried a lot at the end.
This is a book I would like to recommend to others and discuss with them.
(Woman in her 30s)
I gained courage to live brightly and strongly every day from the heroine.
“Wow haha” Her laughing voice remains vivid in my mind along with the summer sky.
(Male in his 20s)
A title that requires courage to open the book.
But after reading it, it was a refreshing story that left me with a positive mindset of “Let’s live each day to the fullest!”
(female teenager)
The last 40 pages are full of tears, tears, tears.
But the refreshing feeling after reading it is special.
(Male in his 30s)
The final development was unexpected… I can’t believe this is my debut work.
(Female in her 20s)
I read it three times.
Has there ever been a youth novel that made a man over 50 cry? (Male in his 50s)
The sadness of the beginning and the end.
But it's a very strong story.
It's the most relatable of all the contemporary novels I've read these days.
(Woman in her 30s)
I was so drawn into the story that I couldn't stop turning the pages.
This is your debut, that's amazing! (Female, 20s)
