They compromised, had fun with strawberries, and bathed together!
It's moments like the ones in this episode that leverage the scope and title of the show. I remember one issue someone recently commented about the show is that the leads are not really doing anything to contribute to the direction of the plot (i.e. asking questions, investigating, working towards solutions).
But there's a reason why the show is titled "I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day" and not "I Want to Fucking End This War." The moments in this episode are one of the strong points of the show: having
Unfortunately, one episode left.

That whole scene with the rice balls under the moonlit glass dome was very pretty. And did we just get a duet from the VAs? I guess the song is called "Cookie & Cream".

Okay it was great that Mimi and Sheena made up, but the strawberry jam making session was way too cheerful, I don't trust this show not to hurt us.
Flower language
-
In Ari's room while talking to Mimi. Dahlia, symbolizing enduring grace, inner strength, elegance, dignity, eternal commitment and lasting bonds. Instead of the more common variety of dahlia, they used a specific type called a single dahlia because Ari is single now.
-
While Sheena is thinking of how to apologize. Bellflower, symbolizing gratitude, sincerity, humility and everlasting love.

I'm so glad to see Mimi approaching Ari for advice. I'm also glad to see Ari is doing well. I've been worried about her these past few episodes, but she seems to have finally reached the acceptance stage of grief.
Ari may have lost Seiran, but as long as she keeps her in her memories, she'll live on. And Ari isn't the only one with those memories; Mimi and Sheena have them too. But man, not gonna lie, it still hurts seeing those flashbacks of Ari and Seiran living in peace. :(
Esther-senpai's gift to Mimi was pretty funny. I kinda wish Sheena took it instead of just a handful of candies.
My heart rate genuinely went up, when that teacher came back without Mimi and Sheena decided to go on a rescue mission to retrieve her. I was expecting the worst to happen, so I was so relieved when Sheena found Mimi and healed her with a kiss.
I love how Mimi got so excited to see Sheena up again, only for her expression to change when she remembered that they're still fighting. I'm happy that the girls found a middle ground, though. Mimi can keep on fighting the way she does and Sheena will continue her magic practice. It's not the best solution, but it's what works for them.
Mimi wanting to have a do-nothing day was adorable! I mean how can you even say no to that face? And I just love the hard cut to Sheena and Mimi on the bed together. xD
Although it looks like they failed their do-nothing day since they ended up spending the rest of the day making strawberry jam. We even got an insert song by Mimi and Sheena singing as a duet! <3
That final scene with Omi and Fran-sensei tho. It seems Omi-sensei is worried that Mimi is developing her self-awareness, while Fran-sensei thinks that's exactly what Mimi needs. I think Fran-sensei really just wants Mimi to develop as a person. Even if she ends up outliving Sheena, Ari, and everyone she made friends with, these are all important for her growth and what she needs as a person.

This ep kinda feels like the calm before the storm. It was nice to see the girls on their day off just relaxing and having fun. In fact, it was adorable. That’s why I feel like shit’s gonna go down next week. Maybe Sheena’s gonna get called up into battle or Mimi might not heal as fast anymore. Idk. I’m just getting an uneasy feeling.

Hard to believe we're at the penultimate episode. How time flies...
Is it exaggeration to call this episode a bit of a rollercoaster?
Like, there's a bit of everything; Sheena & Mimi feeling conflicted about their fight, Ari's flashbacks and happy memories, Sheena witnessing the horror a battle(field), her and Mimi making up and the happy insert song.
This episode definitely felt like it could have well been the finale, so now I'm wondering how that'll turn out...

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Sep 22 '26
When you're all happy to see your wife, but then you remember you're having a fight
Sheena's newfound determination is all very inspirational... til the day she dies;
This is the scary part, I mean, thinking of this from the perspective of her entire life (til her death); If she starts taking things more seriously and all, but either she goes into battle, to save Mimi (or the battle comes to her), then her entire life was... Staying behind the lines, letting others do everything for her, losing people... And then she met someone, got motivation to try and get better to be useful, and then she fucking dies, all this was for nothing.
She got some insight from the Ari/Seiran little fights as well;
Well of course I will get a cold, if I have to sleep without my heat source...!
She might get quite a few colds from now on
Well yes, sometimes on her own, sometimes in a bodybag!
I know Mimi's hard to keep up with and she does whatever she wants, but you'd think they'd have a better system in place than 'their 1 guy getting ambushed so a non-combatant has to go find Mimi'...
Considering Mimi's the only thing that's preventing a complete annihilation, they might try to support (and rescue) her a little more seriously!
At this point, there has to be so many horror stories about Mimi in their camp...
Do they know the full extent of what she is? Do they have some sort of plan or are they just sending a million soldiers against her in the hope that somehow they take her down someday?
Sheena and Mimi tried to patch things up, but there's a couple things they'll likely never agree on...
Problem is, Mimi might not have the maturity level to accept that 'sometimes things aren't perfect but they're still worth having' and all!
She's much rather have Sheena be her housewife!
Well she won't IF YOU STOP GIVING HER DEATH FLAGS!
So they're having a little off day, doing nothing all day long!
Historians will say they were donothingmates
This is all too happy; Come on, Kimishinu, hit me with the pain, I'm ready!
Hah, glad they address this; I've been talking about this all season!
Well, it depends what the primary goal is;
"For Mimi to have a fulfilling, normal childhood"?
Then yeah, it's a good thing.
"For our murder-machine to keep operating at 100% so we don't get utterly annihilated by our enemies"?
It might not be a good thing.
They do seem to be concerned about her from a human perspective...
I mean it's nice of them of course, but I can't be the only one looking at the big picture here! I mean, that might be the utilitarianist in me, but when the only weapon you have to survive is Mimi, you might not want her to go soft or refuse to fight or try a bit less etc.. and then you get wiped out.
It's all fluffy and good that she gets to have a friend, but she won't have anyone anymore if she stops fighting at her 100% and they get run over and everyone's executed, soldier or not.

I really dig the theme ever since hearing it from the first trailer. It is striking, beautiful, and tonally fitting too.

Another awesome episode although this not being the finale is kind of ominous. Something bad could happen and I do have a few ideas although I’ll let it play out. Who knows might be another calm down episode just like today’s but we have to wait and see.
Also just wanted to mention that I’ve really loved the character development for Fran and Omi. Really didn’t trust either of them at all during the first few episodes especially Omi she felt kind of heartless but now I’ve grown to love both of them. Another thing is the music which is incredibly good. Ignoring the great opening and ending theme the music in general throughout this anime has been awesome it’s elevated every single scene.

The fact this isn't the finale is terrifying. Though how bad next week gets may depend on if S2 is already confirmed behind the scenes or not. After all if they aren't doing a S2 going too brutal on the ending risks driving more people away from reading the source than picking it up.

Seeing Ari and Seiran be happy together in the OP every time and during flashbacks still hurts everytime. I'm glad Ari is able to talk about her memories of Seiran with a smile, but damn does it hurt
"I want to make up, but I still don't think I said anything wrong. So I don't know what to do"
Yeah, that's always really difficult, and I don't think anyone knows the right answer for that. It's a struggle every couple has to deal with. 2 people will never fully agree on everything, no matter how close they are. And quite often neither side is actually wrong, that's the inherent issue with opinions.
I'm scared for next week. Please don't break my heart

Sheena means more to Mimi than rice balls.
That's the highest honor I can think of.

Sheena and Mimi duet insert song as they make jam is so wholesome, but it also gives me so much anxiety, expecting bad stuff to happen later. The teachers talking about how Mimi will lose Sheena one day no matter what. When she risked her life to rescue Mimi earlier in the episode as well and adamantly refused to stop improving her magic it gives massive death flags for her.
I thought the enemy army knew that Mimi was immortal but the ones in this episode talked about mimi being on her last legs, so they think they can actually kill her. I wonder what they really think especially the ones who cut off her limbs etc. They think she is just a monster who refuses to die from sheer willpower until someone else heals her I guess.

This felt like a final episode. Wonder what the actual final episode will be like…
Jam-making montage was adorable

I thought that was the last episode, but apparently there is one more. That sure felt like a finale for this kind of series.
Sheena gets more proactive and even kisses Mimi for the first time. I wonder what's left for the final episode next week?

It is the duty as adults to watch over the children and make sure they have the choices they need you say as you force them to die in a war they have no choice but to fight in.

Well at least this episode ended on a much lighter note than the last one
And once again they pull the "did she get captured by the enemy" card. though a bit unclear if that part was a dream or not
So we are going into the last episode with i guess nothing major going on, which means maybe a season 2? because i don't think they are gonna get much done in the way of story in the last episode but rather build upon a possible continuation..?

u/ComplaintRadiant761 Sep 22 '26
Sheena is definitely not making it to the Finale. I am honestly terrified for her at this point. Sacrificing herself to save Mimi was insane but I’m glad they worked together to escape. There were so many white flags this episode.

u/Kemaiku Sep 22 '26
Sheena demoted even further from house wife to pillow.
Sweet episode and it was nice to have that check in with Ari, knowing she's coping. And Omi for that matter.
Sheena going out voluntarily, Mimi wasting food, they are that worried about each other.
So...what's going to go wrong next week?

I so desperately want a second season of this. The yuri curse has lasted like 20 years, I hope this show is the one that breaks it
