Those flowers bloom with emotion, and life ends when they reach full bloom.
About
In this world, love takes your life.
Emotions make the flowers grow, And the flowers scatter your life away.
The name of that disease is—Hanasaki-byo.
A body in full bloom quietly breathes its last, leaving behind only a single flower. Therefore, a patient must never fall in love.
A doctor's words to a certain Hanasaki-byo patient
"It is Hanasaki-byo. I'm sure you're shocked, but please stay calm first. This is not a disease that will claim your life today or tomorrow. However, from this point forward, please do not fall in love with anyone. That is the only way for you to live a long life. These are the precautions we give to all Hanasaki-byo patients. It summarizes the rules we want you to follow in your future life. Please read through everything and adhere to them as much as possible. Also, if you notice any changes in your condition, please contact this clinic immediately. I will prescribe some medication. It is effective for easing pain and temporarily suppressing the progression of the bloom. However, it is not a cure for the disease itself. ...Take care."

Intro
[Breaking News] Number of Hanasaki-byo patients reaches record high nationwide
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced today that the number of patients with the designated intractable disease "Hanasaki-byo" has reached an all-time high.
Hanasaki-byo is a disease of unknown cause where flowers bloom on the body, leading to death as it progresses. No fundamental cure has been confirmed yet, and patients continue to be monitored through symptomatic treatment.
Furthermore, no airborne or droplet transmission has been confirmed, and it is stated that infection does not occur through daily contact.
Experts warn that "mental stress and strong emotional fluctuations may progress the condition," and are calling for sufficient rest and regular medical checkups.
