Ya me he visto los primeros 5 capítulos del anime y la verdad es que estan buenísimos, me enamoré de esta historia.

El primer capítulo "primer beso" funciona como una sólida introducción a este mundo, me gustó que hayan añadido una escena original al comienzo para mostrarnos la crudeza de la guerra que viven los personajes. Sheena se ve reticente a la guerra y termina conociendo a Mimi, la llamada "arma secreta" del ejército, osea, la que menos quería involucrarse se hace compañía de aquella "arma secreta".

El segundo capítulo "duele de verdad..." expone más sobre el mundo que rodea a los personajes (al menos en el orfanato) ya que vemos un simulacro de combate. La conversación de Sheena y Mimi antes del simulacro nos deja ver la naturaleza de Mimi, ella habla de matar como si nada, me resulta fría pero tiene sus razones.

La escena de Sheena perdiendo el brazo me tomó por sorpresa, no creí que la cosa fuera tan en serio.

Ya después el capítulo nos enseña como tratan la herida de Sheena, Mimi le besa y recupera el brazo finalmente, pero me pareció interesante un comentario de Fran, de que si Mimi hacía mal el procedimiento podría perder ella un brazo, osea, ¿cómo funciona eso? Buen cap ya que las risas no faltaron, ni tampoco los momentos emotivos.

El tercer capítulo "amigas" más que avanzar en la trama avanza en la relación entre Mimi y Sheena, ya que al fin se hacen amigas. La revelación de Mimi no me resultó la gran sorpresa, lo único que me intrigó fue que le dijera a Sheena que ella ya estaba muerta. La escena de Mimi toda descuartizada pega fuerte, carajo.

El cuarto capítulo "cómplices" muestra a Sheena intereseda en la vita eterna que alcanzó Mimi después de haber muerto, conocemos sobre este tipo de hechizo gracias a la explicación de la profesora Omi durante la clase, además de enseñarnos de que Omi está vigilando de cerca a Sheena y Mimi ya que los rumores corren en el orfanato. La confrontación de Sheena con Fran para que Mimi no sea desplegada refleja claramente lo valiosa que es para el ejército y su enorme potencial. Y vemos también la situación fuera del orfanato, la conversación para idear una estrategia efectiva contra el enemigo.

El quinto capítulo "una noche eterna" me resultó un poco aburrido, nos presenta a personajes nuevos, como serían Esther y Haru (aunque a Haru lo habíamos visto en el simulacro), cómo funcionan las tradiciones del orfanato como el "Día de la Retribución" y expone los pensamientos de Sheena acerca de la guerra.

Hello, my name is sika. Some of you may recognize my name from elsewhere; for those who do not, I am a moderator of both /r/KimigaShinu and /r/KimiShinu, and I also run the unofficial English Discord server for KimiShinu.

If you are a regular member of /r/KimigaShinu, I would like to offer my apologies for this sudden announcement and for the inconvenience caused by my decision to archive /r/KimigaShinu and move the community here. Allow me to explain the reasoning behind this decision.

In May 2022, as I became interested in this series, I noticed there was no community for English-speaking fans, so I created a Discord server to fill that gap. Later that month, I noticed that /r/KimiShinu was available and created the subreddit, though I kept it private, intending to develop it properly once the Discord server was more established. Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity to do so, and the subreddit remained inactive.

In February 2023, the previous owner of /r/KimigaShinu reached out to me on Discord, proposing that we link the Discord server with his subreddit. As his subreddit predated mine, I deferred to his claim and redirected /r/KimiShinu to point to his community instead. He subsequently offered me a moderator position. However, between managing the Discord server and other commitments, I was unable to devote attention to the subreddit itself. I assumed it was being maintained adequately in my absence — an assumption that, as I later discovered, was mistaken.

By March 2025, following the anime announcement, I proposed moving the main subreddit to /r/KimiShinu, given that it is the official short name of the series, in order to prepare the community for the anime's broadcast. The previous owner declined, noting that the community was already established with approximately 100 members. He assured me he would continue to oversee it, so I once again stepped back and returned my focus to other responsibilities.

On July 2, 2026, however, we received a modmail requesting that /r/KimigaShinu be reclaimed, citing inactivity among all moderators. I was surprised to learn that the previous owner had made no further progress on the subreddit since we last corresponded. In light of this, I concluded that it was necessary to assume ownership and manage the community directly.

I began building up moderation activity quietly in the background, and formally took over the subreddit on July 13, 2026.

After assuming ownership, I considered whether to retain /r/KimigaShinu as it stood or to proceed with my original plan of consolidating the community under the correct short name. Upon further reflection, given that /r/KimigaShinu was founded on a mistaken premise and subsequently neglected by an owner with limited investment in the series, I concluded that building upon that foundation was not the right path forward. Instead, I chose to establish a fresh start for the community, one that could receive the attention and care it deserves. For this reason, I have archived /r/KimigaShinu and am making this announcement.

For content previously posted in /r/KimigaShinu, you are welcome to repost it here or make use of the crosspost feature.

In the coming days, I will be expanding the wiki with additional information about the series so that it may serve as a proper reference for the community. I will also be making adjustments to this subreddit to ensure a positive experience for all members. Should you notice anything missing or amiss, please do not hesitate to send a modmail, and I will do my best to address it.

Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience this transition may have caused. I will do my utmost to manage this subreddit responsibly and support this community going forward. Thank you for being part of it.
