I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day

An orphanage turns out to be a brutal boot camp that trains magical child soldiers for a cruel war. Even so, love finds its way amid bloodshed and despair – in this much-anticipated, dramatic yuri manga that feels spiritually akin to works like Revolutionary Girl Utena, Otherside Picnic, and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.

Growing pains: Sheena and Mimi are officially a couple and show their love openly. The happiness lasts until reality catches up with them: Sheena is growing up, while Mimi will remain a child forever. Sheena dreams of helping people and ending the war, but despairs at a future without Mimi. When everything seems hopeless, Ms. Fran brews a medicine that could change everything.
