Let Me Fix You: Sakura Kurihara’s Macabre Yuri Manga Gets Web Anime Adaptation

The world of atmospheric and dark Yuri is expanding. Sakura Kurihara’s critically acclaimed manga series, Let Me Fix You (known in Japan as Kimi wo Tsumugu), is officially transitioning to the screen. A short-form web anime adaptation is scheduled to debut in late May 2026 on YouTube, bringing its hauntingly beautiful story of devotion and decay to a wider audience.

A Tender Bond Between the Living and the Undead

At its core, Let Me Fix You is a story about the labor of love and the beauty found in broken things. The plot follows Tsumugi, a quiet and meticulously skilled seamstress living in a decaying world. Her life takes a profound turn when she encounters Chise, a girl who exists in a fragile state—neither fully alive nor entirely gone.

The narrative explores the macabre yet tender relationship that develops as Tsumugi uses her needle and thread to physically mend Chise’s undead form. Through these careful stitches, the two embark on an exploration of grief, devotion, and the lengths one will go to for the people who make them feel whole.

Production Details: Who is Bringing the Series to Life?

The adaptation is being handled by Buta Productions, an international indie studio founded in 2024 by Federico Antonio Russo and his partner, Blou. The project is designed as a short-form series specifically for YouTube, leaning into the indie nature of the original work.

The Creative Team

The production features a specialized team of creators tasked with capturing the manga’s unique atmosphere:

• Director & Character Designer: Ani
• Animation Producer: Federico Antonio “FAR” Russo
• Art Director: Kam’ kamon
• Director of Photography: Xaryen

From Pixiv to Print: The Journey of Kimi wo Tsumugu

Sakura Kurihara first gained recognition by publishing the series on the Pixiv website. The original series consists of four chapters published in 2021, which were eventually compiled into a single volume.

For English-speaking fans, BluPetal Media Inc. is currently spearheading the effort to bring the manga into print. BluPetal launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the first English-language print release, offering backers premium physical editions, acrylic standees, and signed bookplates. The campaign has already exceeded its initial goal of $3,000 USD and is scheduled to remain live until April 11, 2026.
