I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day Premieres July 7

A July 7 premiere

I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day has locked in its premiere. The series' official account confirmed that the first episode, titled "Kiss," airs on July 7. The show is set to broadcast on AT-X and other Japanese networks, and Crunchyroll has announced it will stream the series internationally. Our own catalog lists the same July 7, 2026 start date.

What the show is

This is a dark fantasy with a girls' love heart. The story unfolds at an orphanage that doubles as a training ground for child soldiers, where girls are raised as weapons of war and taught to kill without hesitation. The exception is Sheena, who only wants the fighting to stop. That changes the night she runs into Mimi, a girl found covered in blood yet still smiling, who cannot die and regenerates from even grievous wounds, and who is treated as the school's greatest weapon. The anime adapts the manga by Aono Nachi, which ran in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine from 2018 to 2020, and its blend of fantasy and yuri romance is reflected in how our catalog files it.

Behind the production

The series is produced by the studio Roll2. Yasushi Tomoda is directing, after original director Takudai Kakuchi shifted to a creative advisor credit earlier this year. Jukki Hanada is in charge of series composition, Kyoko Yufu is handling character designs, and Yukari Hashimoto and Michiru are composing the music. On the music side, ReoNa performs the opening theme "Amore," while Sajou no Hana provides the ending theme "Eternel."

Ahead of the broadcast

The team has been building toward the premiere. A pre-broadcast live special has already streamed, and the official account has now made its archive available worldwide, with the early look at episode 1 held back from the recording. Fans heading to Anime Expo 2026 will also get a head start, with the first episode screening at the convention on July 2, a few days before the television debut.

Why it is worth a look

Yuri-led genre anime do not get a wide spotlight every season, and this one arrives with real manga pedigree behind it, including a 2019 Next Manga Award nomination. With a firm date, a full staff, and theme songs from ReoNa and Sajou no Hana in place, it shapes up as one of the more distinctive debuts of the July lineup.
