Into the book
Dad, I'm sorry.
Because I couldn't wear a furisode on my coming-of-age ceremony day.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Because she is a daughter who cannot live up to expectations.
Sister, I'm sorry.
Because sometimes I think he's a cold younger sibling who shouldn't be affectionate.
Sorry.
Born the latest and dying the first.
--- p.17
As Matsuri followed the people running towards the light, her excitement did not subside.
My body was sucked into a quiet surge of emotions, just like when I first liked someone.
“Isn’t there anything fun to do?” The moment she stepped out onto the other side of the light, Matsuri felt a sense of liberation, as if she was breathing for the first time.
It seemed like he had finally found his own breathing space.
--- p.41
As the suffocating jealousy subsided, I inevitably fell into self-loathing.
Every time that happened, I would have frequent seizures.
Every time I had a seizure, I begged to be killed.
It wasn't when I was given a terminal diagnosis that I thought about dying.
It was when I couldn't stand myself becoming ugly.
--- p.56
Matsuri felt uneasy every time she sat down at the table.
There was always a sense of tension, as if an ominous shadow was standing behind me.
I was overcome with fear as I imagined that if one more empty seat was added, this table would collapse.
I want to live.
I want to keep this position without creating any more vacancies.
But Matsuri chose to give up happiness like Kikyo in order to laugh.
Because I knew that rather than begging and crying that things weren't going my way, giving up, shaking it off, and smiling was the way to live my life.
--- pp.86-87
The hospital room, surrounded by pure white walls, had a window that opened only the size of a palm.
The thought that it would be nice if it opened wide only occurred at the beginning of my hospitalization.
The moment I realized that it was to prevent the patient from committing suicide, I became extremely devastated.
--- p.92
“I didn’t know being different could be this scary.
Even when we were wandering in our teens, the way we wandered was all the same… .
I'm scared of how free I am now, with no boundaries to block me...
Now, I don't know if I can find my place with this body... so I'm nervous.
“I’m so scared of the fact that I’m not like other people.”
--- pp.200-201
Life is so lovely and time is so fleeting that I'm going crazy.
I thought that being separated from someone I loved was death.
But parting with my poor self is also death.
If I had known this would happen, I would have cherished myself more.
The only person who can cherish me the most is me.
I wish I had realized this sooner.
--- p.233
It was the limit.
I'm tired of lying all the time.
I just wanted to sleep.
But that wasn't giving up.
It was the feeling of fatigue that came after finishing the race.
That's why I was satisfied even though I was so tired I felt like I was going to die.
Now I want to say my final thanks to my loved ones and go to sleep.
--- p.288
You gave me life when I thought death was the only peace.
So I became afraid of death.
I'm afraid of dying.
That's why I feel even more alive and breathing now.
Kazuto.
thank you.
--- p.301
In the white world, I thought, 'Ah, is this the end?' Then, I felt as if I was being pulled downwards by an incredible force.
I held on tight to the bed frame.
But still, I felt an irresistible force pulling me, so I grabbed the doctor's gown next to me.
I was scared.
Of course, after experiencing the sensation of being dragged into 'death' that came without warning, I was deeply shaken.
Because I couldn't wear a furisode on my coming-of-age ceremony day.
Mom, I'm sorry.
Because she is a daughter who cannot live up to expectations.
Sister, I'm sorry.
Because sometimes I think he's a cold younger sibling who shouldn't be affectionate.
Sorry.

Publisher's Review
Spring, a touching romance that will make us laugh and cry.
The bestseller "The Remaining Ten Years of Your Life," which has sold over 800,000 copies
Reissued in 2024 with a new translation and cover!
The film will be re-released in Korea in April 2024!
The bestseller "The 10 Years of Your Life Left Behind," which has sold over 800,000 copies in Japan, will be republished in a 2024 version.
This book has been completely transformed with a new translation that captures the protagonist's unique and delicate emotional line, and a new cover featuring emotional illustrations that seem to capture the atmosphere of the novel, promising to maximize the story's emotion while maintaining a fresh feel.
This book, which was praised as “the best love letter to those who live hard today” and became a hot topic at the time of its publication, received continuous requests to be adapted into a film, which was also selected as one of the biggest hits in the first half of the year when it was released in Japan, recording an audience of 2.25 million people.
The film is also scheduled to be re-released in Korea in early April 2024, making the news of the original novel's re-release all the more welcome.
The spring when I turned twenty,
An incurable disease strikes an ordinary life without warning.
In the summer of my twenties, I was diagnosed with an incurable disease that came without warning into my ordinary life.
The heroine Matsuri, faced with the shocking news that she only had 10 years left, tried to be courageous and laugh it off, just like the festival her name signifies.
But as illness gnawed away at his body and mind, and he drifted away from the daily routine of his friends who were shining brightly and moving forward, he came to realize firsthand that no matter how hard he tried, he could not prevent death.
At that moment, I was overcome with a sense of despair and decided to spend the rest of my life not loving anyone, not longing for anything, and just letting it go.
The decision not to love
The determination not to make things I like
All expectations were dashed,
Because you suddenly came into my life
Matsuri, who had been living a life of resignation, meets her friend Sanae, who still loves painting and lives passionately, her cosplay colleagues, and Kazuto, a friend from her school days who confesses by chance that Matsuri is her first love and goes straight ahead, and her life is completely shaken.
In the end, Matsuri begins a relationship, shaken by Kazuto's confession that he fell in love again the moment they met again.
With his encouragement to not give up on what he likes, he begins to draw diligently.
Only then does Matsuri realize how thrilling it is to fully enjoy her love without worrying about anything, and how precious her life, which she has let slip away, is.
At the same time, his health worsens and he unexpectedly collapses in front of Kazuto, confessing to him about his hidden illness and limited time, and he senses that his separation from him is not far off.
“I am ready to die,
“I will live the rest of my life to the fullest.”
Kazuto was a talented child who had his parents' expectations of him, and at an early age he was given the heavy responsibility of being the successor to the family business, but the results were always poor.
So, after wandering for a long time, he meets Matsuri and decides to walk the path of succession once again.
Knowing Kazuto's situation, Matsuri gives him a final farewell, telling him to move forward with determination and not give up on his life, even more firmly, yet with sincerity.
Matsuri, who senses that death is just around the corner, pours all her remaining life into burying her feelings for Kazuto, stays up all night to finish working on a manga volume, and makes a wedding dress for her only friend, Sanae.
Matsuri did his best so that there would be no more regrets or longings.
Now that I'm ready to die, I promise to live out the time given to me with all my might, passionately, and joyfully, no matter how much time is left...
“If you only had 10 years left to live, what would you do?
“A love letter to those who live their lives to the fullest.”
"The Ten Years Left of My Life" is a masterpiece that richly captures the emotions Matsuri feels in various human relationships, such as family love, love with a lover, and friendship with friends, while also delicately depicting the subtle emotional lines that change moment by moment as a person faces death, heightening the immersion of the story.
The bewilderment of being given a death sentence at the age of twenty when you are just starting anything, the deep despair that humans feel when they try their best but cannot change the ending, the sense of defeat that feels like being thrown off the world's track, the realistic fear of death that spreads through your skin when you feel your body changing for the worse, the sadness that makes you want to burst into tears when you realize that you desperately wanted the little things, “the smell of sunlight and wind, the dazzling sky, a small promise with someone, a body that moves freely”…
As you follow that delicate emotional line, you will find yourself wanting to cheer Matsuri on with all your might.
Moreover, the book constantly poses the question, "What would I do if I only had ten years left to live? Am I living well?" It places readers face-to-face with their own lives.
It motivates people who face their own lives to do their best in the present moment, not in the future, giving them courage and powerful support, and ultimately making them love themselves and their lives.
Although this book is about a limited time, it is not a story about death.
It's a story about surviving to the end, a dazzling tale of fierce attitude toward life and enduring affection.
