Humanity is on the brink of destruction, and the cure might entail the ultimate cost. Love You as the World Ends follows a group of survivors fighting for their lives and loved ones. While the Golem virus turns the majority of the human race into rabid zombies.
Hotta Mayu plays the role of Aoi, a nurse stationed at the top of Utopia, a refuge for survivors. The research team tasked to find the cure made their base of operations on the top levels. Aoi is a witness to the horrible atrocities the scientists committed in a desperate search for a cure. Her main task is to care for Mirai. Deemed the “Miracle Child,” she is suspected of containing the cure for the Golem virus that is ravaging humanity.
Mirai is the child of the lead character Hibiki, who is on a mission to save her from her fate, at the cost of ending the apocalyptic outbreak. His partner, Kurumi, was infected and consumed by the Golem virus but managed to give birth to Mirai before succumbing. This has led the researchers to believe that Mirai might have the right antibodies to fight off the deadly virus. Aoi is being pursued by Yamato, who is desperately climbing up Utopia to reach the girl he loves.
