1 Litre of Tears Special Episode
On April 5, 2007, Fuji Television aired a three hour special of the series set half a year after Aya's death and focuses on Haruto Asō, who has now become a doctor at the same hospital Aya was treated in and Ako Ikeuchi, Aya's younger sister who is a training nurse. Haruto meets a 14-year-old female patient, who was bullied in school and injured herself to end up in hospital just to avoid school, as well as losing her will of living. It reminds Haruto of how Aya fought her illness and lived her life with her condition and he supports the patient. Aya reappears in the episode using a number of flashbacks from the series and in new scenes.
That's basically the synopsis for it. Having been aired for some time now . . . why is it that I've only chosen to do this post now ? Well, that's because Kioku Konseki has finally released their subbed version of it! *pachi pachi* You can obtain the links from their site or get it from Jpopsuki.
There have also been translations of the actual diary by fans, so if anyone's interested in reading it, click on the image below to access one of the links.
Edit (25/11) :
Saw the book @ Kinokuniya today at the ベストセラー (Best Seller) section, going at SGD 13.70. Should be worth a read for anyone who's interested, though of course, it's in jp :)
