Manga Overview
The English version of the manga is published by Kodansha USA, which describes the premise:
At the mysterious orphanage where Sheena lives, death is nothing new to its residents—girls raised as weapons of war, taught to kill without remorse. But Sheena longs for peace amid the chaos. Everything changes when she meets Mimi, a new student rumored to be immortal. Living with someone who embraces death is a stark contrast to Sheena's desire to end conflict.
Nachi Aono launched I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in 2018 and continues to serialize it on Ichijin Plus. The eighth volume is set to ship on March 17.
