Synopsis
Dying patient loves cold doctor; clings to fleeting happiness in bittersweet, forbidden romance.
"You will stay alive inside this happy dream, forever..." Yasushi, a young man with an incurable disease who has a short life expectancy, is in love with his attending physician. Even though he wanted to be his lover and had a physical relationship with him, the doctor was only giving him the cold shoulder. Nevertheless, every day was a happy day, and Yasushi wished to stay in this happiness until the very end. Yet, it was such a small but sad and cruel wish... A surgeon who violates the taboo and a young man with little time left to live who yearns for love. A gentle and cruel moratorium. (Source: Kaiohsha, translated)
