Plot Of The Movie
Haruki Shiga comes across a book in a hospital waiting room. He soon discovers that it is a diary kept by his very popular classmate, Sakura Yamauchi, who reveals to him that she is secretly suffering from a fatal pancreatic illness. Despite this, Sakura intends to maintain a normal school life, and thus is drawn to Haruki due to his relatively unfazed reaction to her condition. They begin to spend time together and become friends.
One school break, Sakura invites Haruki on a train trip to Fukuoka during which the two play truth-or-dare and eventually share a bed in their hotel. Afterwards, Sakura's friends and classmates grow suspicious and resentful of Haruki's newfound closeness to her. The two begin doing activities from Sakura's bucket list together, until Sakura is suddenly hospitalized. During her hospitalization, the two sneak out to see fireworks together. When Sakura is discharged she messages Haruki inviting him to lunch, but does not show up at their meeting spot. Later that night, Haruki is watching the news with his family, which reveals that Sakura was stabbed on her way to meet him and that she is dead. He breaks down and does not attend her funeral.
