The story was really draggy in the middle and ......sorry to say...boring but at the beginning and the towards the ending,it was more interesting. One of the saddest but touching drama since it's based on a true story

Watching Aya handle this disease with such courage was inspiring as was Asou's friendship. He took care of her and never treated her as Aya with a disease; he always treated her as Aya. Even Aka's desire to fulfill her sister's dream was wonderful. This drama was one of the best I've ever seen; a real tearjerker in the same category as Sekai no chuushin de, ai wo sakebu (another of my favourites). I loved Ichi Ritoru no Namida and this is a keeper for me. I'll be buying the DVD!!!

Never really expected something to top Sekai no Chuusin ai no Sakebu, but after watching this, this really topped it! Great potrayal by Erika Sawajiri of Aya who never gives up from the moment she learnt about her illness. The plot was from a real-life diary and it was written perfectly for the drama even with a fictional character like Asou Haruto. The pacing never lagged and everything went by flawelessly and you really feel for Aya in almost every episode. the scene at the bridge between Aya and Haruto where she said "Bye Bye!" and Haruto could only hold on to her wheelchair without saying anything, that was very well-done. Definitely getting the DVD set.

loved it, and you will too, this is probaly the most touching drama you will watch, ever. . and i have watched alot, you should also check out more dramas with the main actress, she has a new one that is out and it is as good if not better than one liter of tears, mainly because some parts of it are actually happy! also here is the theme song of the drama "Shibasaki Kou - invitation"

I think i cried 2 litres... -_-"
Loved the whole show, i would have gave it 10/10 if the made the ending in a better wrapping, the ending was so so and not as sad as the previous episodes although it was 'the day'

The rating actually should be more than 10! Well, this dorama is really amazing! The background story (based on real life), the main actress (love Erika-san's acting in this dorama, very very outsatanding) and supporting actors/actresses, the plot, and the most important, the red line or keypoint of this dorama. The plot is really simple and the keypoint is actually very plain: it is how about appreciating your live and treasuring anyone you care. It is also proving that HEALTH and SANITY are the most precious thing that every human ever have! I need whole 11 days, only to watch this dorama and it even brought into my dream! This dorama is really really and 100% purely touching my deepest heart, and even my cute sister and niece couldn't hold down their tears when watching every sad and most touching scenes! I can't say no more: You must watch this dorama, there's no exception about that! It may change your way in appreciating your health and life!

1.after I saw this dorama, my house was full of my tears!!!!!!!!

but overall, this dorama really, really, really great......
Oh, my God!!!!! I never think If I have same disesase like Aya, what will I do????

i love this drama! the cast was awesome... sawajiri erika did a very good job in playing Aya and nishikido ryo exceeded my expectations. i couldn't stop crying while i was watching it and even when i was just recalling some of the scenes i would get teary-eyed. must see!

the fact that the drama is based on a true story makes it not only a tear jerker, but also very inspiring.
it reminds us the cruel reality that medical research/technology, which is progressing steadily but slowly appears so puny and helpless in face of diseases and on the other hand human's desire to live and optimism is so powerful.
i wonder what I would do if I had that disease.
ten years ago, i would say, "study hard and find a cure of it";
yesterday, i would say, "kill myself and donate my organ for medical research"
now having watched this drama, I realized that more courage is needed to keep living/struggling the life than abandon it. Am I going to be as brave as Aya?

words can't never describe how i felt when i first watched this movie, it was probably one of the best, or could possibly be the "BEST" film i ever saw in my entire life. This movie gave me more than just a sastisfaction, it showed me something important; something called family, love, affection, struggle, courage, and most importantly appreciating every breath that you inhale to keep u alive, every step that you can take to reach your goals, appreciating life the way it is uniquely created for each of us. I cried watching this movie, but it was not something that i should be ashame of, because i cry for having to experience such a masterpiece. The actors also magnificently do their job, they really act very well, especially erika sawajiri, who are now becoming my number one favorite artist.

I hate these kind of dramas where I feel all depressed and stuff from watching it but cant stop watching cause its too addicting and emotionally attatched to quit. I actually have a decent level of tolerance for this kind of show but even so.....its not easy to just forget about it after finishing it.
But im thinking for others it might be even harder to handle and they probably cant recover for a week or so....I would put this drama in the elite category for sure as it was life-altering and made me feel better about life overall.....dammit these kind of dramas should all have an alternate ending(happy one) whether they have to use sci-fi aspects or not, would make myself feel alot better but that defeats the purpose and ficiton part of the show then.
Oh well cant have them all but I dont regret watching this even though its not too good for the heart to take sometimes......
