I bet the the fact Kariu came to school sick on the first day ends up being an excuse around the recent chapter's techno-babble. Something like her cold intermixed with the viruses and damaged their effectiveness, or it keyed up everyone's immune systems and the virus never took hold. I mean what they have is so flimsy, any excuse is now acceptable, but that would at least be a callback.

This reveal actually makes things a lot easier.
Now that we know that the company isn't evil, but simply lacks the means to stop the memory loss they should:
- Make an exception for the "if anyone finds out about the project, youre immediately disqualified" and tell them the truth. No need to let them stay miserable for the last few months
- Allow them to keep records: Diaries, messaging history, video messages... etc
- Tell them to watch Isshuukan Friends for hints on how to reestablish a relationship after memory loss :v:

"Everybody at ReLIFE wants to undo the memory wipe magic so they can get together, but the memory wipe magic actually gets stronger the more they hang out together, so we can't."

There, I just summed up the last three updates in a much more satisfying way than the author. Maybe drop in some pseudotechie terms like "RNA storage" and "retrovirus" if you really have to.

At least the memory thing doesn't involve the government kidnapping everyone who ever had contact with them and subjecting them to Clockwork Orange stuff.

Meanwhile, in story news: I think Yoake is about to go off the reservation.

If this was like Plastic Memories there wouldn't be all this needless explanation and the memory loss would be actually relevant to the story and themes as a whole rather than a dramatic asspull.

Nice. Looks like the anime will be having some sort of ending too. Maybe they'll skip on the midichlorians.

I still think they're gonna use the fact Kariu was sick the first day of school as the undo on the midiclorians. Something raised immune system, mutations.

If this is really pretty much the end and there isn't AT LEAST an epilogue arc, it'll really be a wet fart of an ending. Like, at least show us their improvements in the adult world before signing off, please.

alternatively, have the virus not work properly on some people and they still remember and it causes a huge clusterfuck :unsmigghh:

Why should 211 be the end though? I thought the author confirmed that the manga is ending in march?

I think Captain Invictus is speaking of the end in broader terms. The series has been in a relative period of denouement for the last few chapters without really hitting upon anything new, midichlorians aside.

Actually, I wonder if this is where An grows a backbone and deliberately leaves Hishiro a clue that she should have cleaned up.

Honestly I feel like it would be more in character for Hishiro to have meticulous notes on the MC (phone number, address) to follow up on. Because if she forgets him, that confirms he's in the Relife program too.

It's An's job to clean up that evidence, so she can simply choose not to.

Whhyyy that's so dumb, there's literally no in-universe reason for doing that. She's just padding out the chapters at this point.

Obviously though Hishiro is going to be nudged into also working for the company and she and Kaizaki get together and have The Kiss and happy ever after at that point.

Yeah, they've already pointed out that they kept their matching phone straps so that sequence is all kind of moot. We know how this is going to play out. Let these fictional characters be happy already.
