With You, Our Love Will Make It Through

📖 SYNOPSIS

Late and not watching where she's going, Mari Asaka literally bumps into Tsunagu Hidaka — a beastfolk student transferring into her class. In this world, humans and beastfolk live side by side, but "coexist" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Prejudice is everywhere, and Mari herself isn't immune to it. She's nervous around Tsunagu at first, carrying all the quiet biases she's absorbed without really thinking about them. But the more time she spends around him, the more she notices his steady, gentle nature — and the more her assumptions start to crack. This 12-episode TV series from Millepensee is less about grand fantasy spectacle and more about two people navigating the awkward, honest space between attraction and understanding. The urban fantasy setting keeps things grounded — think modern-day school life with anthropomorphic characters woven into the social fabric rather than treated as a gimmick. The romance builds slowly, rooted in real conversations and small moments of vulnerability. If you liked the interspecies tension and social commentary in Beastars but want something softer and more intimate, this hits that spot. Fans of A Condition Called Love will also recognize the pacing — it's patient, character-driven, and more interested in emotional honesty than drama for drama's sake. The tone stays warm and youthful throughout, but it doesn't shy away from the discomfort that comes with confronting your own biases. A quiet, thoughtful romance worth sitting with.
