This manga has been squarely in the "not sure what to think" zone for me for a while now.
Like, I'm glad they didn't revert Tsubasa's character development, and probably Shiori will end up remembering too later, and it seems like even Kakeru will return... but this is all insanely abrupt.
Anyway, I feel bad for Tsubasa'a friend who's apparently being scapegoated for bullying, as a casualty of this conspiracy...
