Manga adaptation of a novel by Yoru Sumino that won various literary awards in 2016. It had a live action movie adaptation as well. A bittersweet story about two teenagers who develop a relationship despite one only having a limited amount of time left due to a terminal illness. Decent drama but you can tell it’s a novel adaptation and it suffers rough spots going through a transfer of medium. You might like it but I would just recommend you check out the original novel or read A Silent Voice instead.
