Fantasy Yuri Series 'I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day' Anime Announced
On Sunday, announced that Nachi Aono's dark fantasy manga I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day (Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai) is being adapted into a TV anime series. Social media profiles and a page on production company Infinate for the anime were launched alongside the announcement.
The website contained a pilot teaser and key visual for the anime:
I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day follows a group of children with magical abilities, trained at a secret orphanage to be weapons of war. One morning, 14-year-old Sheena, in the midst of grief over losing her friend, is approached by a mysterious girl, covered in blood. It turns out her name is Mimi Kagari, the school's secret weapon, a girl who is unable to die. And she is Sheena's new classmate and roommate. Despite their very different dispositions and opinions on the war, a strange attraction grows between the two girls.
Takudai Kakuchi (Tokyo Autumn Session) is directing the anime at ROLL2. Infinite is producing the series, with EVOLROAR providing production support. Yasushi Tomoda is the assistant director, and Jukki Hanada (Sound! Euphonium, Love Love!) oversees and writes the script. Kyoko Yufu designs the characters, and Yakari Hashimoto is in charge of music composition.
The anime will star Rei Takahashi as Sheena Totsuki and Rina Hidaka as Mimi Kagari. They are joined Yui Ishikawa and Asami Seto. A full website for the TV anime will be launched in mid-March that may contain more details.
Manga creator Nachi Aono posted to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the news, writing, "I hope many people will enjoy it. Thank you very much!" She also created a special illustration to celebrate the announcement.
The manga series began publication in Comic Yuri Hime in August 2018. It moved to online serialization on Ichijin Plus and PIxiv in early 2020. The series has received mostly positive reviews from audiences, who praise its characters and heavy subject matter. The series was nominated for the 2019 Next Manga Award in the print category. However, it did not score in the top 20. It was later featured in MyAnimeList's 2024 "You Should Read This Manga" list in the Unique Art/Story category.
Ichijinsha will release the eighth collected volume of I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day in Japanese on March 17. Kodansha USA licenses The manga in English and released the first volume on February 18. The second English volume will be published on April 15.
