Nachi Aono‘s dark fantasy yuri manga I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day (Kimi ga Shinu made Koi o Shitai) is getting adapted into a TV anime. A two-minute pilot film — which sees one character fighting for her life while two others get intimate in bed — and an early visual were released with the announcement.
Takudai Kakuchi (In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki) is directing the anime at ROLL2 with Jukki Hanada (Sound! Euphonium, Girls Band Cry) on series composition and scriptwriting duties and Yasushi Tomoda (The Elusive Samurai Episode 7 director) as assistant director. The character designer is Kyoko Yufu (Delicious Party Precure, Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles), while the music composer is Yukari Hashimoto (Zenshu, Komi Can’t Communicate).
Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day casts Rie Takahashi as Sheena Totsuki, Rina Hidaka as Mimi Kagari, Asami Seto as Lizzy Seiran, and Yui Ishikawa as Ali Maud. Kakuchi co-directed the pilot with Tomoda based on Kakuchi’s storyboards. Kazuaki Oji (Love Is Indivisible by Twins, ROLL2 president) is its animation producer.
The I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day manga is serialized in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime. It will release its eighth tankoubon volume on March 17, 2025 JST.
Synopsis:
An orphanage for girls is actually a boot camp, turning out magical child soldiers for a gruesome war. Yet love finds a way to blossom amid bloodshed, in this dramatic, much-anticipated yuri manga that is spiritual kin to the likes of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Otherside Picnic, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.
