However, Kyoko's protective older brother and her worsening condition begin to test the bounds of their love for each other and threaten to end their beautiful life together.

Looking for a good cry about people who are trying hard in their lives but are presented with tradegies that they can't help.

I find these 2 quite similar, both lead characters are struggling with a worse disease, both have their own way to try to live on, no matter how hard it is. Both are such an eye-opener.

How could I forget my first jdrama and the reason why I'm a fan of this kind of films. If you cried a cup of tears in Drawing Closer, then be ready for a liter of tears here.

both are about trying to live your best life and not giving up whilst fighting an illness. Plus, they're centred on how their illness affects their family and friends.

Both are heartbreaking stories involving FLs that try to distance themselves from the ML who they love but know they won't be able to stay with because of terminal illness.

Both female lead end with terrible physical illness. The dedication of family caring for her were amazing. The royal friend and love from many was heartwarming.

Takabayashi Matsuri learns that she only has 10 years to live due to an incurable disease. She decides to not dwell on her life and not to fall in love, but she meets Manabe Kazuto at a school reunion.

~~ Adapted from the novel "Yomei 10 Nen" by Kosaka Ruka

High school girl in the basketball club develops an illness in they both fight to beat the illness.

both dramas are heart braking and make you wanna cry.

Both are about young people dealing with life threatening diseases.

Both are touching but beautiful stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both includes school romance, but as you can see in 1 litre of Tears they are not the fun kind of romance. And both dramas includes "deadly diseases". Kou Kou Kyoushi is also a masterpiece. Don't think too much and just watch it.

Both about Family and love.

Both about a person with a "can not walk properly" Disease.

Both very sad.

Both has a girl with a terminal disease finding love. 1 Litre of Tears is more based on how the girl works through her sickness through her daily life and also finding love. Hidamari no Kanajo is more about the love relationship between the two and what it means to have a time limit on their relationship.

"More Than Blue" and "1 Litre no Namida" share several thematic similarities that make them emotionally compelling. Both stories center around protagonists dealing with terminal illnesses: Aya Kito in "1 Litre no Namida" suffers from spinocerebellar ataxia, while K in "More Than Blue" is terminally ill. They explore the emotional and psychological struggles associated with their conditions, affecting not just themselves but also their loved ones. Themes of love and sacrifice are prominent; K sacrifices his happiness for Cream's future, while Aya's family and friends provide unwavering support. Both narratives highlight the impact of illness on relationships and emphasize perseverance, hope, and finding meaning in life despite inevitable suffering and loss.
