Sure if he actually does it. If its more of this shit... like she straight up told him she felt relieved seeing him and he's still being spineless wimp. All his character growth is just gone.
She's the love of his life and she doesn't remember him. What do you think he's supposed to do? Even if she felt "relief", she herself stated that it's probably because they were good friends. She has no romantic feelings for him, not anymore.
So obviously he's weary, they were polar opposites and were only made friends because of some crazy stuff happened. How does he approach her again without making the situation worse? Without making her hate him?

It's crazy to call a teenage boy a spineless wimp because he can't deal with magical amnesia.

It's not what he meant. She approached him back then, he's saying that he wants to be the one to try and be her friend now, that it is his responsability since he's the one who remembers.
It's not hard to understand where he's coming from.

I don't hate the moments they've shown here, but this is definitely just gonna be a basic bitch amnesia plot played completely straight to anyone coping that it wouldn't be, whole "lets just fall in love all over again" bs and everything

I just hope this amnesia doesn't last 100 chapters.

At least we see her continue to be a good person even without her recent memories.

It’s gonna be the name reveal. I mean, when has Okarun referred to himself so often as “Ken“ in his internal monologues? He’ll probably work up the courage and introduce himself and it’ll spark the magic/neurons and all her memories will come flooding back. BUT not before an alien/yokai attack that puts Momo in danger because she can’t use her powers and doesn’t believe in aliens anymore.

I hope this amnesia lasts the entire rest of the manga because it would be a nice subversion of how often people magically get their memory back.

I mean if people LOVED the interaction they've had in this chapter, just read the first 40 chapters again. It is exactly the same thing because we've been here before. Not only Momo lost her memories, Okarun also lost his balls along with his 200 chapters worth of character progression.

But yeah, its Dandadan bro, its totally different from all the shounen romcoms bro, Tatsu will surely prove that he is different bro, trust! Let him cook (ignore the fire in the kitchen though). Fucking NPCs.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuh, this is so frustrating! I hate memory loss bullshit, this bum ass trope needs to be banished to the darkest pits of hell
with how often I've been seeing it in my library recently, I couldn't agree more I am so done with this trope. Like I think the mangaka is doing a good job here in this case but GOD is it painful to watch x.x

This arc is divine retribution for Dandadan fans calling it the best shonen romance

The most annoying part is basically everything in this chapter could have been accomplished without Momo’s memory loss. Just have it be that Okarun is struggling to muster the courage to confess to Momo, you get the same results without the memory loss nonsense.

Wtf is on with the translation, it feels less accurate than usual.
