One Year to Live, Buy a Man

余命一年、男をかう ‧ Movie ‧ 2026
"Saving money is the best entertainment and the perfect way to kill time." So said Katakura Yui, a 40-year-old single woman. She has deliberately avoided anything she deems to be uneconomical, including romance, marriage, and childbirth.

During a free medical examination, she is diagnosed with cancer and told she only has a year left to live. Although the doctor urges surgery, Yui secretly feels relieved. "If I’m going to die, there’s no need to save money anymore." Her life shifts when Sena, a pink-haired nightclub host down on his luck, unexpectedly approaches asking, "Can you lend me some money?" Yui responds by “buying” him for 720,000 yen. What begins as an odd arrangement gradually becomes a warm, unconventional bond, and to their surprise, an unpredictable love gradually starts to take shape between them.

The premises are similar:
A woman gets a severe diagnosis and pays a man to keep her company for a certain amount of time.

But that's all they have in common. Other than that they are actually pretty different.

If you wanna watch a bittersweet love story, go for Snow Flower.

If you wanna watch a very unique and lonely FL who needs help getting pulled out of a 'I wanna die' mindset - give One Year To Live Buy A Man a chance.

Or better: watch both ;)
