Ok, I think that most people have heard of this strange title of the anime
movie which is due to come out... I've read the novel and the manga. But I
just don't understand what the title actually means. The characters mention it
at the start and at the end... I know that it shouldn't be taken literally but
can anyone explain me the meaning of the title?

question
japanese-language i-want-to-eat-your-pancreas
What is the true meaning of "I want to eat your pancreas"?


So, this relates to the fact that in Japanese culture, and various other Asian
cultures as well, mothers use a phrase along the lines of ' _I will eat up
your disease X, so that you can get all better..._ ' to their children; the
title here refers to the fact that,

> Haruki wants Sakura to get all better from the disease she is suffering,
> which is some sort of pancreas disease
