I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day 1 Paperback – February 18, 2025

"This dramatic and compelling yuri manga presents a dark and fascinating world. It explores the lives of young characters forced into a brutal existence, where an orphanage serves as a training ground for magical child soldiers in a devastating war.What truly stands out is the delicate portrayal of innocence amidst this violence. The main characters, despite their harsh upbringing, possess a captivating purity. The author masterfully crafts their interactions, revealing their complex emotional landscapes.The story delves into a blossoming connection between the female leads, with subtle yet powerful lesbian undertones. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the narrative, and I'm eager to see how their relationship evolves. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the author develops the female leads further.The artwork is exceptional, enhancing the story's emotional impact and creating a visually stunning experience. The narrative is full of intrigue and unexpected turns, keeping the reader engaged from beginning to end. I highly recommend this manga to those seeking a unique and thought-provoking story that blends action, emotion, and delicate romance."

Thank you Netgalley for the early read!I wasn't sure what to expect about this first volume, but by the end I was desperately curious and wishing for more. It's a bit more gruesome than I first expected, but it fits the storyline quite well.The cast of characters seem very similar at first glance, but they all have their own personalities despite some similar qualities. I really enjoyed this first volume and can't wait for the second one.

I Want To Love You Till Your Dying Day has an interesting premise, I liked the art style, the characters, and the story. These magical children and the war aspects were interesting elements to read about however there was some stuff questionable stuff in this manga. The “Healing” aspect of the book could have been worked a little differently, it was a little uncomfortable to read those scenes when knowing how young these characters are not to mention the adults are partaking in these “healing” magics too.Mimi and Sheena are both decent characters, I liked Mimi and her story elements. The war, battle, and her abilities are interesting to read. I feel that I needed a bit more from Sheena to really enjoy her as a character. I don’t know if I would continue this series or not, I hope the romance doesn’t blossom until the characters are older more 15-17, I feel the healing element would be more acceptable between the students if they were aged a little more appropriately. (This is around the age that young adult romances are) Thank you to Kodansha Comics for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
