Wait, how did she attend uni lectures? Isn't she a highschool student as well?
other than some 'early' college classes i'm sure some profs would be impressed/encourage high schoolers to sit in on their classes and such/seeking higher education and such

She's lucky she hasn't gone completely insane. If she has been in the loop long enough to forget such basic things, then it would have to be much longer than any recorded person has ever lived. Since she is already 16, that would be over 38,700 days, at minimum.

Honestly, studying might be the one true way to pass the time. Just absorb and take in all knowledge so if the loop ever DOES end you are basically free to enjoy life. Become a master of all chemistry, all biology, all programming languages, etc. Every day rewrite the history of the world so constantly keep it fresh.

That's something I really liked about Groundhog day. He basically mastered all skills that he had access to master. You could basically become Dr. Who given enough time and no interruptions. :)

i feel like i could study math for ten years and still be confused but i suppose it's diff if you're like listening to a podcast of ppl saying facts and passively following it but i'm sure a classroom environment would happen too, sucky if your memory doesn't improve tho considering you can't retain muscle or lose weight in the loop

Although i wonder if they've tried killing anyone else in the loop unless they're too scared to take that risk, since it's still murder as opposed to 'saving' someone by sacrificing themselves lol, then again unless that person also gets dragged into the loop they'd just die anyways

There was a livedrama called brush up life where one person restarted their life a couple times but it was a lot slower paced than this

I was thinking maybe they were there 2-3 years but they mustve been in here for decades.

i think the implications is it was post-loop.
she had looped enough to gain (at least) uni-level knowledge and attend through unofficial means
it's most likely to escape the loop. however, enough time has passed since she stopped trying, and enough has passed that she even forgot she ever tried

firstly, science need time to progress (ie: you won't be able to manufacture heavy machine, develop most medicine that matters -due to the time needed for body to react-, or observe slow-reacting chemicals in a day) the only field that could theoretically expand without progression of time is probably math. the other need experiment and hence time to study. more so if you're alone.
secondly, most likely you'll forgot most of what you learned about one subject before mastering the other, even professors forgot the basic from time to time unless it's related to what they're doing now. and doing all that without a note? good luck.
thirdly, like my reply to previous post, she probably did tried (reasonably). however, she looped enough to accept that there's no way out. if mastering everything is even theoretically possible, you probably snapped way before you're near to achieve that

With their minds being the only thing that gets preserved across the loops, a common trope is to use the time to learn and become a super smart genius. She might even have attempted just that... But it's fun to see it ultimately reversed here, with her forgetting so many things. It actually is more realistic with the lack of motivation the loops bring.

But it's surprising he doesn't know more about her, like her club and approximate academic and physical abilities and personality from before the loop. Haircut chapter already established that they're in the same class, after all. Not knowing your classmates to such an extent is not normal, unless one of them literally was absent from school all the time before the loop.

A chapter where they actually do student-like things? That's crazy!

I'm surprised Mashiro has attended university lectures before, but maybe it was just a sit-in type of thing, where people who aren't part of the professor's class are allowed to listen in a few times (but not participate). Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why she's back to being a high school girl, unless even more time travel shenanigans are at work here.

So two time loopers trying to apply a bit of listening therapy to themselves before they go completely insane.

Anyway, she's probably looped for so long, I can believe that she perfected learning everything that was being taught at one point... and then still had the time to unlearn it all because it was useless for her situation.
