I WANT TO LOVE YOU TILL YOUR DYING DAY HAS NO VOTE THIS WEEK
Synopsis
Her roommate dies, and the teacher announces it like reading off attendance. Class moves on. That's the world Sheena Totsuki lives in, an orphanage that doesn't raise children so much as produce soldiers for a war that's been grinding on so long nobody remembers what peace looks like. Kids get shipped to the front lines and don't come back, and everyone around Sheena has just accepted that as normal. She hasn't. She's the one person in this place who still feels the weight of every empty bed, every name that stops being called. And somewhere in the middle of all that death, she falls in love. This is a girls love story set against one of the bleakest backdrops you could imagine: child soldiers, endless war, institutional numbness, and from what the manga sets up, the romance isn't there to soften things. It makes everything sharper. Caring about someone in a place designed to make you stop caring is its own kind of rebellion. If you liked The Promised Neverland's oppressive institution vibes or Gunslinger Girl's quiet tragedy of kids shaped into weapons, this hits similar notes but threads a love story through the center of it. Studio ROLL2 is adapting the manga for a 2026 TV series, and the fantasy and school elements suggest there's more to this world than just the battlefield. The title tells you exactly what you're signing up for: love with an expiration date.

Now we're talking. I loved how they gave us a break from all the violence just to finally reveal the plot twist. I enjoy subtle horror like this. I am interested to see if Mimi's reveal has anything to do with the girl we saw in the first episode
So Sheena has the same magic as Mimi's dead mom. That explanation about why Mimi latched onto her instantly because she smells like her mother gutted me. Fran calling Mimi's mom a criminal for loving her daughter too hard is this show in a nutshell. Nothing about being born a weapon is fair
The a cappella opening had goosebumps on my arms before the episode even started. Then Mimi crying into her pillow about Seiran just broke me. She's supposed to be the unkillable weapon and she's begging for things to go back to normal. That salt scene was the only thing holding me together all episode
I was not ready for Livi to explain that Seiran's life belongs only to Seiran and no survivor's ego should force eternity onto someone. Fourteen years old saying that with a hand on her chest. And fans calling her cold need to sit with that logic a while
So Mimi's mom performed resurrection magic and got branded a criminal for loving her daughter too much. And Heal's tiny magic pool discovered to be the same rare attribute. This show keeps making me cry over background lore that slaps harder than it should
Mimi crying into her pillow asking why Seiran has to stay dead broke me. Then she eats Sheena's salty rice ball and laughs about it like nothing happened. The whiplash between grief and small joy is so real
That acapella version of the opening hit me way harder than it should have. Quiet domestic Sheena and Mimi shots against bare voices and then the rice ball scene where Mimi's hands shake... this show knows exactly what it's doing to us
The healing vs restoration distinction is so tragic when you sit with it. Sheena trained her whole purpose around saving Mimi but Mimi's body just reforms anyway. Healing someone who can't die means something completely different and I dont think Sheena realizes that yet
The new opening was so good and it hurt but so good. New info revealed! The plot thickens...
The toenail painting scene broke my heart so bad. They were just two girls being soft with each other and now Seiran is gone. When Ari whispered that saying it out loud would break her I felt that in my chest. Watching her hold everything in until Mimi finally cracked her open
I keep thinking about that title. I'm Back. Except Seiran never came back and Ari is never going to be the same person who left for that mission. The irony is brutal and I think it rewires how you see the whole episode on a rewatch
The scene where Mimi hugs Ali from behind at the funeral completely wrecked me. That slow breakdown after Ali had been holding it all together the whole episode. And then the nail polish flashback right before it made it hurt even worse
That ending threw me. Ari asking about revival magic right after Mimi finally got her to cry? The tonal whiplash is intentional but I'm terrified what bringing Seiran back costs. This world doesn't do freebies
The way Ali kept every memory of Seiran locked so tight she could barely breathe. And then Mimi just holds her and she finally cracks. Yui Ishikawa deserves every award for that funeral scene I'm not touching that flower either
IMO it was better than the previous episodes. Some more information about Mimi is given and a relaxing clean up happened. Very nice.
The story jumps right in so you know what you are getting yourself into. The Art was beautiful and the 3D aspects really stood out. The characters are not one-dimensional. The music was also really good.

A beautiful depiction of grief and how it impacts those close to oneself. This episode focuses entirely on Ari and Seiran, and how monumentally the latter's passing affects the former. I cried - that says a lot since I don't tend to at these things. Regardless of if what Mimi mentioned at the end becomes a part of the story or not, I still think taking so long to fully explore grief and the way it materialises was a wonderful way to spend an episode's runtime.
Those hair clip and nail polish flashbacks were pure cruelty. We got to fall in love with their domestic life right before it got ripped away. The GL crowd won big then lost everything in the same episode
This was another heartbreaking episod every deep thought provoking. Made me curious to watch the next episode.
