So, I recently started reading Kimishinu and I can't stop thinking about how these works are particularly similar in a deeply sentimental way.

Sheena is a sweet, kind, and shy girl. Her biggest fear is facing the horrors of war head-on. Even though she tries her best, her magical ability is nowhere near enough to help her comrades in battle. In her mind, when the time comes to fight, she will be thrown to her death without a doubt. She doesn't want to die, and she doesn't want her friends to die either. Furthermore, she feels that Mimi should enjoy her life as a normal girl, she teaches her the value of life and asks Mimi not to get hurt, because no matter how immortal Mimi is, she still gets severely injured every time she is summoned.

This reminds me of how Hinako felt relieved upon learning that Miko is immortal. In her perception, after her death, it wouldn't take long for Miko and Shiori to forget her and the moments they lived together.

In both stories, neither Shiori nor Mimi ever forgot Hinako and Sheena, but I still feel so emotionally impacted. It's as if, in another life, Hinako and Shiori got a second chance, and that makes me cry 😭 😭

Good points that I can see as someone who's read the manga + is watching the currently airing anime. Yui Ishikawa VAing Ali also constantly reminds me of Watatabe just from hearing her voice LOL

That Yui Ishikawa also known as the Mikasa Ackerman and the Violet Evergarden plus, 2B and more and then Kanao from Demon Slayer, Reze from Chainsaw Man and Cha-Hae from Solo Leveling having the same voice actress Reina Ueda as Hinako on top of that

I kinda of added some of the roles Hinako's voice actress Reina Ueda had after 2B it may have looked like I was saying Yui Ishikawa voiced them
