well the cover (main image for the site) already hinted another girlIf this is gonna be a pseudo-harem bullshit, it's Joever! It's already a cliche romance manga, I know! So I'm not expecting something good out of this.
I would be awesome if this manga goes to the "I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" where there's only one love interest and the other girl is a wingman or good friend. It would make the romance feel more cohesive without relying on pseudo-harem trope bullshits. But, yeah! I'm not expecting good shit from this.well the cover (main image for the site) already hinted another girl
oh no, Idol Schoolgirl rute
She could also have just not been in class much, like many idols I think, and so he just didn’t notice or remember her at all.I have never read the source novel, and thus I'm not really spoiling anything, just making a guess.
If Minamori Sara is not remembered by the main character (“I don't remember it” on the 18th page, “there wasn't a girl like this before the time leap” on the 21st page, “I also don't remember her name” on the 22nd page), then we have one of the following three possibilities:
① She's a fellow time traveler. (Unlikely. Notice that he seems to recognize “the popular idol, Minazuki Sara”, but not “Minamori Sara” the classmate. The idoru must have been in the previous timeline.)
② Enami Shuusuke have never seen her in the previous timeline because he was greatly depressed because of the death of his childhood friend and not interested in making new friends — to the point of not remembering a classmate.
③ She's a butterfly effect. She was never in his school in the previous timeline, but then Yorumiya Hina, just by being alive, somehow caused the idoru to appear in the same class. Or then Enami Shuusuke, by leaking some future events to the maid, prevented some obstacle on the idoru's career path. Or now Enami Shuusuke, by talking to Sara, prevents her feeling sick to the point of cancelling her live concert and then cancelling her enrollment to this school (the latter is either out of embarrassment or if the live concert was contractually essential to the enrollment somehow).
Good points, I'd really like if the author goes for the butterfly effect narrative, showing us the impact of the changes MC already made, things are calmer now but the premise of the manga is based on dark events. If he just goes with the clichés shown so far, I'll personally lose interestI have never read the source novel, and thus I'm not really spoiling anything, just making a guess.

① She's a fellow time traveler. Unlikely. While this is not a decisive evidence, we nevertheless should notice that Enami Shuusuke seems to recognize “the popular idol, Minazuki Sara”, but not “Minamori Sara” the classmate. Hence the idoru must have been successful in the previous timeline (at least to the point of being easily recognizable). Unless I am wrong about his thoughts of “the popular idol, Minazuki Sara” and they should instead be treated as an early foreshadowing of who she becomes later in a story told much later about this timeline (like the meaning of the words “your mother” in a story of the “and that's how I met your mother” kind that is told to the children that are born later, for example).
② Enami Shuusuke have never seen her in the previous timeline because he was greatly depressed because of the death of his childhood friend and thus not interested in making new friends — to the point of not remembering a classmate.
③ She's a butterfly effect. She was never in his school in the previous timeline, but then Yorumiya Hina, just by being alive, somehow caused the idoru to appear in the same class. Or then Enami Shuusuke, by leaking some future events to the maid, prevented some obstacle on the idoru's career path. (For example, if the extended family of Yorumiya Hina somehow was an irreplacable investor in Minazuki Sara's career — so irreplacable that the family's perilous nosedive in the previous timeline could easily bring the whole Sara's career down with them. Imagine her immediate employer, some agency, being bankrupt in that crisis. And all the other potential employers are suddenly, like, “we aren't willing to buy your assets in this economy, the success of our own idoru is already greatly threatened by the artificial cuteness of virtual YouTubers and by the recent results of neural generation” etc.) Or right now Enami Shuusuke, by talking to Sara, prevents her feeling sick to the point of cancelling her live concert and then cancelling her enrollment to this school (the latter is either out of embarrassment or if the live concert was contractually essential to the enrollment somehow).
