This was absolutely adorable. I loved the message that this story had and the artwork. I loved the characters. And if I cried while reading it - well, that's no one's business, is it?

Sometimes the more I read things, the more I get to enjoy walking the path taken over wondering where I may find myself when all is said and done.

I think this book is beautiful. The story is predictable, but my happiness resides in seeing it unfold. It resides in the experience; in relating to others in a way that is still singular to who I am, and I'm grateful for this opportunity.

Bittersweetness is the tool that can best make me relate to a work or context and this book —just like "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"— moved me like little other works manage to.

Originally reviewed on Sara's Books and Things .

What is happiness? That is the question that Nanoka's elementary class has been given. She searches to find the answer through some unconventional friendships and learns a lot in the process.

I read the complete manga version it was originally released as light novel. I absolutely adored this story. This is the second story that I've read by Yoru Sumino and it definitely exceeded my expectations.

Her friends are in all stages of life, a high school student who has resorted to self harm, a young adult who allows Nanoka to call her Skank-san, and a kind old lady who bakes delicious treats. Outside of these three she's pretty lonely with parents that work all the time and doesn't quite fit in with the students in her class.

Nanoka is such a headstrong girl with a clear vision of what she thinks is right and wrong. Even if that occasionally doesn't workout the best for her.

This is something I highly recommend for everyone to read. Because honestly when you think about it what is happiness to you?
