Let’s talk about something that’s just landed on our radar, and honestly? It’s the kind of premise that makes you pause your coffee mid-sip.
I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day—or Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai if you’re feeling linguistically adventurous—has dropped its first trailer this Wednesday, and the July premiere is officially locked in.
The Setup
We’re not dealing with sunshine and school festivals here. This is dark fantasy yuri set in an orphanage where the residents are quite literally raised as weapons of war. Death isn’t a plot twist—it’s Tuesday.
Sheena wants the fighting to stop. Mimi smiles while covered in blood. They become roommates. Complications ensue.
The Talent Behind It
ROLL2 studio is handling production, and they’ve assembled quite the roster:
- Director: Yasushi Tomoda
- Scripts: Jukki Hanada—the mind behind Girls Band Cry and Love Live!—so we know emotional beats won’t be an issue.
- Character Design: Kyouko Yufu
Voice Cast:
- Rie Takahashi (Megumin herself from KonoSuba, Emilia in Re:Zero) as Sheena Totsuki
- Rina Hidaka (Milim Nava in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) as Mimi Kagari
- Asami Seto as Lizzy Seiran
- Yui Ishikawa as Ali Maud
The supporting staff roster includes Nao Enomoto (Assistant Director), Michiru and Yukari Hashimoto on music, and Jin Aketagawa handling sound direction.
The Source Material
Nachi Aono’s manga launched in Comic Yuri Hime back in 2018 before shifting to digital platforms. Ichijinsha released the eighth volume in March 2025, so there’s plenty of material to work with.
When romance and mortality are this intimately intertwined, what does a “happy ending” even look like?
Here’s what I’m genuinely curious about: what are you hoping this adaptation gets absolutely right?
