To Your Eternity (Japanese: 不滅のあなたへ, Hepburn: Fumetsu no Anata e, lit. "To You, the Immortal") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitoki Ōima. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine since November 2016, with individual chapters collected by Kodansha into twenty-three tankōbon volumes as of November 2024. The story is about an immortal being, Fushi, who takes on multiple forms and freely utilizes their respective natural abilities at will, including that of an abandoned white-haired boy and his white wolf, in order to further evolve and stimulate as it learns what it means to be truly human over the decades and centuries.

Ōima, inspired by her own grandmother's death, aimed to write about survival and the character Fushi, who initially is an emotionless stone but gradually develops a self and personality as a result of interacting with humans. In contrast to her previous work, A Silent Voice, To Your Eternity puts little focus on the characters' past but instead upon their future.

In North America, the manga is licensed by Kodansha USA for a digital and printed English release. An anime television series adaptation of the manga, produced by Brain's Base, aired from April to August 2021 on Japan's NHK Educational TV; a second season produced by Drive aired from October 2022 to March 2023. A third season has been announced.

To Your Eternity has received acclaim in Japan, earning many awards and generating major sales. Critical response to the series debut was very positive, based on the emotional focus on the villagers and Fushi to the point of often earning perfect scores. Fushi's continuous character arc was praised while Ōima's artistry enjoyed critical acclaim due to its detailed facial expressions and environments.
