I am again having the "ah ah aaahhh!!! " Subaru moments from watching "Kami no Natta Hi "/"The Day I Became God" by Jun Maeda...

I'm still believing in the lack of drama and tragedy tag for this manga!

Tis' arbitrary after all. We add them. This is a community...

This chapter felt very bloated like too much was happening at once with no room to breath and all of a sudden we’re in different world

 

[ShadowHusky]

This is like the only romance featuring supernatural powers where the supernatural was integral to the story and not just a plot device. Confusing as hell, but appreciated.

I think you need to read more supernatural romances. I feel they're integral in a lot of them.

Here’s my theory:

The Himawari that we see right now is possibly the real Himawari. That “childhood incident” is what put her in the hospital in the first place, but due to her powers, she basically changed reality to where it actually never happened. This would also explain why the boys could vaguely remember something happening (and the mom remembering Tsubaki), but Himawari doesn’t remember anything

 

[ReHong]

Damn, she's been hospitalized or something causing aall of this for all 3 of them? It's strange and regretting in a way for them

 

[DirtEater21]

Thank you for the translation. I guess the bl route is the only one left

WAIT I HAVE A NEW THEORY,

I almost feel cruel doing this, but in chapter 1, two pages after Himawari is shown in color with light hair, Tsubaki lists her "kogecha-iro" hair as something that captivates him. "Kogecha" (lit. "burned tea") being a traditional way to describe browns that are very dark, maybe olive.

Probably something along those lines, where it's a peek into another unsatisfactory and discarded worldline? The mechanics of "who remembers what, when, and with how much clarity," are getting complicated... assuming everyone is telling the truth (see also: Ota, Kaede.)

Maybe I'm just too suspicious by nature, but I was left with 50/50 mental odds on whether Himawari ACTUALLY didn't remember the 4th grade incident or was just pretending not to/trying to convince herself in denial.

I'm also not even convinced Himawari has powers - the only thing different this time is that she remembers the last loop where Tsubaki "dates" Kaede. But Tsubaki also remembers that loop. Yes, Himawari blames herself because what happened aligned with her "wish," but blaming herself seems to be Himawari's signature move. Page 15 kinda makes it look like she's doing some psychic abilities stuff, but that's also Tsubaki's POV as he stares at her, and in subsequent panels we see that it's HIS vision that's going twisty, and SHE's reaching out for him as though she's fine all of a sudden.

I considered the color panel. It certainly could still be a coloring error, perhaps they simply applied a black and white filter to the cell phone photo, and that's it.

It might also be to save coloring time and other things that could explain why they leave the hair white instead of painting it, since the protagonist says her hair has a dark color it should be painted grey at least but it looks almost as if she were blonde or some light color that in the way manga is worked, it is always left unpainted. Doesn't make sense in the manga but it can make sense if we get into the production aspects of the manga itself.

But my theory assumes that this is an intentional decision to tell something more. We're in a manga where things aren't always what they seem, and reality can be altered. It's possible that Himawari herself has even altered how she's perceived, or how others are perceived, to fulfill her whims. Therefore, we, the viewers, are the only ones who can see the inconsistencies in reality that Himawari is altering. It's quite far-fetched, but everything that's happening in this manga is already quite far-fetched, so yeah, that's my theory.

But yeah it could simply be a coloring choice, but hey, that's what theories are for.
