This drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease Spinocerebellar Degeneration, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25.
15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler. However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She begins falling down often and walking strangely. Doctor informed that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a rare disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?
The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing after the outbreak of her disease to gain courage in grappling with the illness and including her words of encouragement to her self, her reflections and her words of gratitude that were written until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed, entitled, One Litre of Tears has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.
