1 Litre no Namida based on a diary titled Ichi Rittoru no Namida or A Diary with Tears or A Diary of Tears.
by Kito Aya ( July 19, 1962 - May 23, 1988 ), This diary is based on her own life. It is about struggling with
her teenage life along with a degenerative disease. She wrote on her diary on what she does and how she feels. All
the hardships that affecting her daily life due to that disease.

Note on her Diary:

"I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive."

"Why did the disease choose me? I cannot carry it, if it’s just for the word fate."

"I want to build a time machine and revisit the past. If it weren’t for this disease, I might even be in love. I want to cling to someone’s arm so badly."

"Regret. Pitiful. It’s okay if I’m in pain by myself. But I’m also bringing trouble to the people around me."

" I really don’t want to say things such as “I want to go back as how things were before” . I recognize how I am right now, and I will continue to live on."


I really really loved and recommend this drama. It will make you appreciate life
more than we've already had. The lessons on how she face her difficulties in life. The family value that shows in this drama
is really a heart touching.

This drama is so sad, it made me cry almost every episodes. A must see drama. You gonna Love it..
