Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Kouyama Mitsuki was devastated when she was diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the throat. She had made a promise to the boy she loves that she would one day become a singer, but her illness made singing impossible. To make matters even worse, two angels of death, Takuto and Meroko, appeared to Mitsuki and informed her that she only had one year left to live. This news provides an even greater motivation for Mitsuki to fulfill her dreams, and with a little bit of divine intervention, she begins her quest to become a professional singer so she can be reunited with Eichi before time runs out.

Production Notes
Full Moon wo Sagashite only follows its manga source for about one episode before going down a different route. VIZ Media had licensed the series, but released only the first 28 episodes on DVD before dropping the title. It was later streamed in its entirety in subbed-only form on Hulu before expiring from the service in August 2013. The remaining 24 episodes that VIZ Media did not release an English dub with on DVD were found by AnimEigo, who picked up VIZ Media's expired license of the anime and released two upscaled complete volumes of the show on Blu-Ray starting on August 12, 2025.
