With You, Our Love Will Make It Through

Mari Asaka is a typical high schooler who misses the bus and ends up late for class, except her detour leads to Tsunagu Hidaka, a gentle beastfolk who surprises her with kindness. In a society where beastfolk are kept behind high walls and strict rules, their casual meeting turns into a slow, careful connection that challenges what people assume about difference. As Mari and Tsunagu grow closer, they face family expectations, school gossip, and institutional barriers, and the show watches how everyday moments and small choices test the line between prejudice and understanding, without revealing any major plot twists or final resolutions.

Created by Shin Itagaki and released in 2025, the animated series blends drama with sci-fi and fantasy elements. Voice leads include Manaka Iwami as Mari, Takuya Eguchi as Tsunagu, Koutaro Nishiyama as Yukihiro Aida, and Ai Kakuma as Kisara, who give the characters distinct emotional textures.

The series has earned strong audience ratings, reflected in an 8.9/10 average from early voters, and viewers have praised the character writing, visual design, and the way the worldbuilding supports personal stakes. Critics who’ve commented on it noted its steady pacing and focus on relationship dynamics rather than spectacle, and many responses highlight the show’s emphasis on empathy and social divides.

Since its debut the show has prompted conversations about segregation, representation, and how fiction handles "otherness." Fans have been active online, sharing artwork and theories about the characters, and discussion threads often focus on how the series treats consent, social policy, and reconciliation between groups. While it’s still early in the series’ life, it’s clear the story has sparked thoughtful debate about inclusion and what it means to share a community.

As of 2025 the series hasn’t been reported as a major awards winner, though its strong viewer response suggests it could attract more industry attention in future seasons or ceremonies.
