I'm surprised the manga straight up used Pocky, rather than some trademark-dodging name like "Packy".
...Wait a goddamn minute, is this short manga adaptation just stealth marketing for Pocky® Almond Crush?
hei you have roughly 6 month to live. and there is no way you could be cured. oh wait! that's not all! I'm afraid we can't let you out of the hospital cuz your body is too weak and you would die lil bit quicker than the estimated time(thou it would be more preferable than slowly dying in hospital bed).
too bad you have to suffer the remaining of your life in this godforsaken hospital for no good reason! haha!
