In this deeply moving first-person story, a high school boy finds the diary of his classmate—and discovers

that she’s dying. Yamauchi Sakura has been silently suffering from a pancreatic disease in school, and

now exactly one person outside her family knows. He swears to her that he won’t tell anyone what he

learned, and the shared secret brings them closer together. The two have very little in common, but

they find themselves drawn to each other in Sakura’s final months to live.
