- Ass Pull: With all of Sakura's talk about her disease, the fact that she gets killed by some random murderer, which pretty much renders all of her struggles with it to be completely pointless can seem like a real cop-out similar to the twist in My Sister's Keeper, save for being a cop-out of the central ethical dilemma.
- Awesome Art: Some of the scenes in the animated movie are extremely well-done, making it look like it came from a Makoto Shinkai movie. A big shout-out goes to the fireworks scene, with the fireworks both beautiful and realistic.
- Memetic Mutation:
- Almost every trailer for the anime version draws at least one comment of ”Eyes, lungs, pancreas, so many snacks so little time.”

- Narm: The title. It Makes Sense in Context, but it makes the story sound more like a horror story rather than the story of the relationship between an introverted boy and a terminally ill girl. This is one of the reasons why some foreign dubs, like the Latin American Spanish one, used the English name without translating to either Spanish or Portuguese.
- Shocking Moments: Sakura being randomly murdered by the criminal mentioned near the beginning of the story.
- Spiritual Successor: A number of reviewers and viewers, including IGN
and this one, (spoilers!) draw comparisons between this and Your Lie in April, with both involving an energetic Ill Girl secretly afraid of her mortality who draws a troubled, withdrawn male protagonist out of his shell. Both female protagonists die with unfulfilled promises to the male protagonists. Both works also draw heavily on Cherry Blossoms imagery and its connotations regarding the transience of life and love.
