@Rulibarri uh this is a pretty forced plot device, though. They must have some control over who gets their memory erased, or the ones involved in the project would be affected too. There's no reason other test subjects would be any different. In fact, I can't fathom technology that has such...

IDK why she is so insistent, if he admits it he has to terminate the experiment.

Everyone needs someone to remind them what they are fighting for, every now and then. Everyone needs a good, close, friend.

Ohga is such a cookie.

Oh, the drama. I half wish the program would end already so they can find out they can be with each other.

Ah, if only things always played out like this IRL. I don't think I've ever seen a case where love was as pure and mutual as this.

Ah, youth. I never got a chance to go to some event like that with friends. 😞

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who's had to see the ugly side of society and couldn't cope had someone like that to give them a second chance? 😞

@MP20895 the Japanese society is highly hierarchical, they would certainly take the superiors' words over his. There was no proof of harassment, I'm sure, and the police would have a hard time getting the resources to do a proper investigation even if they believed him. It's all very common...

@DeliciousCake the Japanese market is mostly controlled by families and tradition. There are a lot of powerful private companies, with limited accountability. Public interference is very rare - even for the publicly traded ones - and the main shareholders would rather keep everything under wraps...

So sad how the kindest people often struggle the most inside. As a woman in a chauvinistic environment, I'm sure she had to be perfect just to survive, show no signs of weakness to anyone. So she tried to cope by making someone else's life less miserable. But everyone needs a shoulder to lean on...

@ViEmlleSzDias I had a hunch it had ended like that because unfortunately in the adult world, one can't simply transfer to another school and start over. An adult's options are always much more limited, and it's much harder to get emotional support. Also I think it's somewhat common in Japan...

Yeah, Kariu is an annoying character, but that's because she's very human. She's prideful out of insecurity, and a jerk out of frustration. She really should apologise and make up with Tamarai, and at some level she probably knows that, but when you are in the middle of an emotional turmoil...

Ah, he's not such a charmer after all.

That was unexpected.

Honestly he should have gone deep undercover and gotten rid of all of his "adult" things even if he wasn't expecting anyone to come over. When he's immersed in his old habits half the time, of course something will spill over (like the earlier cigarettes blunder).

Japan's always been much slower to replace their technologies. Even today there are some people using non-smart cellphones. In the less rich neighbourhoods, I bet it wasn't uncommon for kids to be using them at school 10 years ago.

I know they serve to remind us how "grown up" the MC is, but I find the cigarettes really annoying and unnecessary.

Yeah, I can see that happening IRL. In Japan, what you say and do in front of others is strongly dictated by etiquette, so one must resort to the subtlest cues to signal their true thoughts. A smile at the wrong time, or a moment of hesitation, can cause a very big misunderstanding, and it will...

He was the dangerous one all along.
