Itoshii Anata no Kokoro wo Taberu

Imagine being able to physically see the heart of the person you love. While this might sound like a romantic fantasy, it is actually the defining symptom of a rare and devastating condition known as psychophagia syndrome. Those afflicted by this illness perceive their partner's affection as a tangible organ, but this vision comes at a terrible physical cost. Sufferers are plagued by relentless vomiting, exhaustion, and severe anxiety—symptoms that can only be eased through a grim remedy: consuming a piece of their loved one's visible heart. The tragedy of this cure lies in its consequences. Every time a sufferer eats from their partner's heart to find relief, the actual love that person feels begins to diminish. This cruel cycle has caused divorce rates among patients to skyrocket, leaving broken relationships in its wake. The story follows a close-knit group of four friends who must navigate the harrowing realities of this disease. As they struggle to balance their desperate need for physical survival against the gradual erosion of their most cherished bonds, they face an agonizing dilemma. With every bite offering temporary salvation at the expense of lasting devotion, the future of their relationships hangs precariously in the balance.
