Aya Ikeuchi is fifteen when she begins losing control of her body. She is eventually diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia — a degenerative disease with no cure — and keeps a diary as it progresses. Based on the real diary of Aya Kito, who wrote until she could no longer hold a pen. Her disease is told through her voice: clear-eyed, occasionally funny, enormously brave. The boy who loves her watches. The family holds together and breaks and holds again. The most-watched medical J-drama of its era and still the standard against which others are measured.
