最後のおやつは、何を食べたいですか?

TWs/閲覧注意: Terminal illness/末期症状の病気, death of a family member/家族の死

When death approaches, people may often think of a last meal. At the Lion's House, the residents of this hospice have a chance to submit a request for what snack/dessert they would like to eat once again. Every Sunday at 3:00 pm, the residents gather together and eat a snack/dessert item that was submitted.

The story follows Shizuku, who recently was told how long she has due to her illness. Facing her last moments of life, she reflects on her memories, meets other residents of Lion's House and Lemon Island, and enjoys the delicious meals that she took for granted.

A beautiful story about letting go, death, grief, and gratitude. (The dishes that come out in this book sound so good – they will make you hungry!)
