©️ Yoru Sumino/Futabasha Publishers Ltd 2015 ©️ Your Pancreas Anime Film Partners

Friday, March 6th at 6:30 PM

A theatrical feature length animation of SUMINO Yoru's identically titled best-selling novel which has also been adapted as a live-action film.

I want to eat your pancreas begins with an unnamed protagonist who is completely detached from the world around him. He is convinced that nobody has any interest in him either. He goes about his days listlessly until he stumbles upon a mysterious book titled "Living with Dying." He discovers that it belongs to his popular classmate Yamauchi Sakura.

After confronting her, Sakura tells him a secret nobody besides her family knows: she is suffering from a pancreatic disease and her remaining time is running out. He's unsympathetic at first but slowly, he finds himself drawn to Sakura's determination to enjoy each day until her last...

Starring TAKASUGI Mahiro, Lynn, FUJII Yukiyo
