The main character of the movie Haruki went to the hospital one day for some reason. He accidentally found a diary in the lounge there called 'Living with dying'. Originally the diary belonged to Sakura. And reading that diary, Haruki found out that Sakura is suffering from pancreatic disease. Sakura's pancreas has stopped working and now she has about 2 years. At that very moment, Sakura arrived. She realized that Haruki figured everything out. She then told him everything and asked him not to tell anyone else in his class. That's where they came to know each other. But Haruki didn't pay much attention to Sakura at first. One day Sakura asked Haruki to help her. Sakura wanted to fulfill her last wishes before dying. So she wanted Haruki to help her. Although reluctant at first, Haruki later agreed. Then they began to fulfill Sakura's small wishes one by one.
Incidentally they moved very close to each other. Sakura started liking Haruki. At some point she realized that Haruki had no friends because he was always alone, not talking to anyone. So she decided to teach Haruki to make friends before dying. She used to go out with Haruki. She was trying her best. They went to many places together, had a lot of fun.

But the thing that touched the hearts of the fans the most is the ending of the movie. The movie has an unexpected and heartbreaking ending. Which has made countless fans cry. The perfect combination of friendship and love, a girl's thinking about her loved one without thinking about her own life, and a boy's pain of losing the person he loves are all highlighted in the movie.
Personal opinion: Many people can avoid it just by hearing the name of the movie. This is normal because I want to eat your pancreas means 'I want to eat your pancreas' which is a really weird name. But a proverb goes 'Never judge a book by its cover'. Those who have seen the movie will be able to tell why the name of the movie has been given. The name carries a much deeper meaning. That's why fans love the movie so much. And from a personal point of view, this is one of my favorite movies.
