This film hits all the right notes emotionally, telling the story of two high schoolers, one an asocial loner and the other an impulsive girl about to die. I thought, "I've seen this before." It's the typical "manic pixie dream girl" plot combined with the contrived terminal illness tearjerker plot. And I was right, but only partially. The depth of the characters and plot go beyond a typical plot, with interesting developments and backstories that deviate from stereotypes. It was still rather contrived and the ending dragged on but for the most part it accomplishes what it set out to, a surprisingly deep and heartfelt story about life and death.
Plot summary
One day, "Me" - a highschooler - found a paperback in the hospital. The "Disease Coexistence Journal" was its title. It was a diary that "Me"'s classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, had written in secret. Inside, it was written that due to her pancreatic disease, her days were numbered. And thus, "Me" coincidentally went from Just-a-Classmate to a Secret-Knowing-Classmate. It was as if he were being drawn to her, who was his polar opposite. However, the world presented the girl that was already suffering from an illness with an equally cruel reality.

Slightly contrived tearjerker
Don't let the title fool you this was a very touching film
I want to eat your pancreas(alternatively Kimi no suizo o tabetai) is a 2018 anime about an aloof boy named Kilko who befriends a quirky fun loving girl named Sakura who is secretly dying of pancreatic cancer and has a few years if not months left to live. However when Kilko begins to fall for Sakura will she get to fulfill her dreams. I'm not gonna lie but a few tears dropped while seeing this as I was shocked with the ending as it wasnt what I was expecting. Overall I really enjoyed this film and will be seeing it again.
Get ready to cry
