Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai Anime Premieres on July 7: New Visual and Cast Announced
The long-awaited news has finally arrived: The anime adaptation of Aono Nachi's touching yuri story Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai ('I Want to Love You Until You Die') will premiere on July 7, 2025, on AT-X, TOKYO MX, WOWOW, and other channels. Along with the broadcasters, the series' second key visual and second promotional video have also been revealed today.
In the visual, mysterious figures appearing in the background alongside the main characters draw attention. The new video also includes some previously unrevealed scenes and character interactions. Additionally, two more notable names have joined the voice cast: Yumi Uchiyama (famous for her role as Beatrice in Re:Zero) and Ai Kayano (Kaguya Shinomiya in Kaguya-sama). Which characters they will voice has not been announced yet, but the inclusion of these two veteran voice actors has raised expectations even higher.
As a reminder, the Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai manga first began serialization in 2018 in Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine. The story follows the emotional and dangerous bond between Hiyori Kohinata, a girl who can see people's 'death marks,' and a mysterious friend surrounded by these marks. Considered one of the strongest examples of the yuri genre in recent years, the series has been praised especially for its military school atmosphere and character depth. The announcement of an anime adaptation in 2024 created great excitement.
Although the director and studio information for the anime have not yet been officially confirmed, the released visuals and videos indicate that the project will be a high-quality production. In particular, the pastel tones and character designs in the key visual successfully reflect the delicate atmosphere of the manga. The inclusion of AT-X among the broadcast channels suggests that the series may be an uncensored or more faithful adaptation.
So why is this announcement so important? Because Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai has gained a large fanbase both in Japan and internationally in recent years, especially winning the hearts of yuri and drama fans. If the anime is successful, it could increase the chances of other manga in this genre being adapted. In the coming weeks, we expect more character reveals and perhaps a third PV. On July 7, we will finally have the chance to watch this touching story in motion.
