I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day Anime Reveals First PV & Cast | Summer 2026
The Summer 2026 anime season is approaching, and the highly anticipated yuri dark fantasy work, I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day, has officially released its first PV, simultaneously unveiling the main voice cast and production staff list. This work is adapted from the original manga of the same name by artist Aono Nachi and is scheduled to begin airing in July 2026.
This work is renowned for its stark contrast between "cute girls" and "cruel death," and the first PV perfectly captures its breathtaking, unique atmosphere.
Innocent Love in a Cruel World: Analysis of the First PV
In the first PV, viewers get a glimpse into the protagonists' school life. The video depicts the fateful meeting between Sheena Totsuki and Mimi Kagari, as well as their interactions with classmates Lizzy Seiran and Ali Maud.
At first glance, it appears to be a school anime full of innocent smiles. However, the PV soon reveals the dark truth behind those smiles—this is an abnormal world where "death" is as natural as breathing:
- The girls are raised as weapons of war
- The classes teach killing techniques
- Grief over losing classmates is not permitted to exist
The shocking coexistence of "daily life" and "death" is the core charm of this work.
Story Background: "Will You Love Me Until Death Comes?"
The story is set in a "school" that specifically takes in children with no family or relatives—these children are not there to be educated but are instead raised to become weapons of war. In this closed-off, abnormal world, the 14-year-old Sheena cannot become numb to the deaths around her.
"Why is everyone so calm about it?"
This is the persistent question in Sheena's heart. Until one night, she meets a mysterious girl who is covered in blood yet still smiling—Mimi. This encounter completely changes the fate of both girls. No matter how cruel reality is, they still try to find meaning in life and that small, innocent wish within a world filled with bloodshed.
