I Want To Eat Your Pancreas Characters

Okay, let's talk I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Yes, the title is weird. Yes, it's a tearjerker. But let's be honest about these characters.

Haruki Shiga: The Lovable Bookworm...Or Is He?

Haruki, our introverted protagonist. He's the quiet type, always with his nose in a book. We're supposed to sympathize with him, right?

But sometimes, I just wanted to shake him! He's so... passive. Is it just me, or does his whole personality revolve around Sakura?

Don't get me wrong, I get the whole "coming out of your shell" thing. But come on, dude! Have some hobbies besides reading and being sad.

Sakura Yamauchi: Sunshine and...Manipulative Tendencies?

Ah, Sakura. The bubbly, outgoing girl with a secret. She's determined to live life to the fullest. We all love her infectious energy.

But let's be real. Sakura knows exactly what she's doing. She pulls Haruki into her world. Is it purely altruistic? I'm not so sure.

She definitely uses her charm. It's like, "Oh, I'm dying, so you HAVE to hang out with me!" A little manipulative, maybe? Just a tiny bit?

Kyoko: The Underappreciated Best Friend

Kyoko is the loyal best friend. She's always there for Sakura. She tries to keep things normal. She's probably the most grounded character.

Honestly, I feel bad for Kyoko. She's constantly in Sakura's shadow. Does anyone ever ask how *she's* doing?

She's the unsung hero of this story. Give Kyoko a spin-off! She deserves some happiness.

The Nameless Narrator: A Convenient Plot Device

Okay, the "present day" Haruki. He reflects on his past. He gives us the emotional context. He's basically a walking plot device.

He mostly exists to remind us how sad everything is. We get it! Someone died! Can we move on?

I'm not saying he's unnecessary. But he's definitely the least interesting character. Sorry, not sorry.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Here's the thing: I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is a beautiful story. But the characters aren't perfect. And that's okay!

Maybe Haruki is a bit bland. Maybe Sakura is a little manipulative. Maybe Kyoko needs more screen time.

It's these flaws that make them feel real. They're not just characters in a book. They're complex and flawed, just like us.

"Sometimes, the most memorable characters are the ones that make you question things."

So, next time you watch I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, take a closer look. Don't just cry (though, you probably will). Think about the characters.

Are they truly as innocent as they seem? Or is there something more beneath the surface?

And hey, if you disagree with me, that's fine! Let's talk about it. But be prepared to defend your love for Haruki.

Because I'm still not convinced he's anything more than a sad bookworm who needs a hobby (and maybe a therapist). Just saying.
