Plot



An introvert boy, Haruki Shiga ('Takumi Kitamura') comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. Looking through the book, he discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate, a girl ('Minami Hamabe'). The girl, Yamauchi Sakura who happens to see him holding on to her diary then reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from a fatal pancreatic illness.

Sakura then playfully forces Haruki to attend to all her whims and fancies. Initially, Haruki begrudgingly accedes to her requests, citing the excuse that he is merely putting up with a sick classmate. However, as time passes, he finds himself being drawn to her and he begins to enjoy the time he spent with her.
