I have memory problems due to an accident. I will read my notebook diary.
About my memory impairment, only my parents and Izumi should know about it.
What to wear the next day must be decided the day before.
I write in my diary before going to bed.

There is no treatment, and the progress must be observed at home.
Ouch
- This too - Okay
Dad.
- Good morning - Good morning
Hey
Do I have memory problems?
Well, yes.
You were in a car accident 3 years ago.
You did a great job of recovering.
You saved a kid from being hit by a car.
That's right.
We are proud of you.
What happened yesterday...
I remember everything clearly now.
I stepped on a pallet and got hurt.
That too.
I definitely remember.
It's still too early to decide.
Maori's memory disorder seems to be getting better.
Maori.
- Really? - Yes.
Hello.
Hello, Izumi?
Is this a good time?
It's not the best time, but it's okay.
What's the matter?
It seems...
My memory disorder seems to be getting better.
Write in your diary before going to bed.
Do it slowly.
Never sleep outside.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
It looks delicious.
Hey..
How does it feel now that you recovered from your memory problem?
I remember yesterday clearly.
My memories before that was being in high school.
3 years has gone by that felt empty.
It feels like I have turned into an adult in an instant.
Anyway, it's a strange feeling.
Will the lost memories come back?
During the three years I have written everything in the diary.
It's just a record, I don't think it will come to mind as a memory.
I see.
Hey.
Who's this?
Have you ever seen him before?
Ah, that person.
I've seen him a few times in the library during summer vacation.
I see.
But, he seem to have modeled a lot for me.
When you got into figure drawing...
You said you wanted to draw men too, so I asked him.
Was something like that written in the diary?
Yeah, I'm so glad anyways.
Because you helped me remember, Izumi.
[After waking up, you must read this diary.]
I had an accident on the first day of Golden Week. Once I fall asleep, I will lose all my memories.
[Don't forget Kamiya Tooru]
Tonight, even if this love disappears from the world
Do you want to date me?
I made a false confession.
That was not sincere.
This girl didn't take me seriously.
Sure.
What?
- By the way...
What's your name?
Tooru Kamiya
Tooru-kun
I remember.
What class are you in, Tooru?
Class 1.
Then...
Tomorrow after school, wait for me in class 1.
See 'ya
That girl.
Are you serious about her?
I did what you told me to do?
So, keep your promise, don't bully Shimokawa anymore.
You're going to work early tomorrow too.
Don't drink so much.
'Don't worry about tomorrow'
'Tomorrow is tomorrow'
"Don't worry"
Yes, yes, I know, by Osamu Dazai.
I quit my job for today.
Will you write a novel again?
'Literary World' Newcomer of the Year Award.
Somehow, I think I can win this time.
Though I don't know the age limit for being called a newcomer.
You have to keep your promise to your mother.

Fumino Nishikawa 'Remnants'
Good morning.
Saegusa and his gang didn't touch me this morning.
Is that right?
I'm glad.
Huh? Impossible. Is that Tooru Kamiya?!
Eh, it's really Tooru?
- He can hear you. - He's looking this way.
- Go, they're looking at you. - Really?
Go ahead.
Why are you making me?
Hey, Look at this, it's a popular video.
Would you date me?
Did you know about this?
- Who is Tooru Kamiya? - That's him.
Could it be that Saegusa and his gang said something to you?
Actually, I confessed to Maori Hino from class 7 and we started dating.
I see.
Oh, I see.
Congratulations!
Hey Hey.
Do you have some free time this Sunday?
Why?
We must celebrate.
Alright quit it already.
Do you have a favorite food?
Can I have a word with you about Maori Hino?
I'll go first
Okay
Is it true that you guys are dating?
Well, like that.
Why all of a sudden? You didn't even know each other.
Was it love at first sight?
Well, like that.
Like what?
It's because...
If it's out of anger or you're just playing around, I'd like you to stop it.
Sorry class is starting.
Kamiya...
Tooru... right?
Sorry to bother you.
Aren't you in any clubs?
Actually I want to go home.
I'm glad.
Me too.
I was worried that you might have missed your club because of me.
And then
I'm trying to set the rules for dating in the future...
Speaking of that
Have you changed your mind?
Actually, there are some kids who were bullying my friend.
The condition for stopping the bullying was to confess to you.
I see.
Well, I guess they wanted to have a big laugh when they see me being rejected by the popular Maori Hino.
I'm so sorry I dragged you into this mess.
Why are you apologizing?
You saved your friend, didn't you?
That is really cool.
So then?
So then what?
Don't you want to date me?
It's not that I don't want to..
Then why did you want to date me?
Me?
Well, I wonder why?
Well then, Tooru..
How about pretending to be a fake couple?
Pretending to be a fake couple?
Hmm
Look at this
We are already considered a couple by everyone.
I know that, but there's nothing good about going out with me.
The friend that you helped...
Wouldn't he be hurt to know the real reason why confessed to me?
Sure
You're right.
Now they can't say it was a lie.
I guess
All right, it's decided!
There are three conditions for pretending to be my boyfriend.
- conditions? - Yes
First, don't talk to each other until after school.
Second, keep the online chats as short as possible.
and
third
really don't fall in love.
Okay
Good luck starting today, my boyfriend!
They're not kidding, look!
So that we don't show that we're a fake couple...
We need to know each other well.
- When's your birthday? - Tooru!
February 25
What is your blood type?
Type AB
Ah ...
Eh?
Who do you admire?
Nishikawa Fumino
I'm sorry, but who is that?
A slightly fanatical pure literary writer.
I see.
- Are you taking notes on this? - Of course
Thank you
What's are you good at?
Cooking, if I have to say.
Really? That's great!
Basically, I do the housework.
I see
Because I only live alone with my father.
I want to try your cooking someday.
Food made by Tooru.
I'll cheer you on, but you don't have to force it.
The story you told me the other day...
... actually makes me quite curious.
The first condition of a fake boyfriend...
Don't talk to each other until after school.
Tomorrow, on duty, I will be late.
The fake couple's condition number two..
The second,
Make contact online as short as possible.
and
Condition 3 for being a fake boyfriend.
Hey
Where should we go next?
about that
Is it like a date?
That's right, because we're a couple.
That's right
Then how about Sunday?
Ok please take care of me.
By the way, can I meet you in the afternoon?
It's okay. Are you busy in the morning?
You don't understand, do you?
Girls need to do a lot of preparation in the morning.
fake couple
Even though we are a couple
We weren't a couple at the same time.
But, before that...
This is my best friend, Izumi Wataya.
I know.
She was worried about what's going between the two of us.
She say she want a three-way interview
It would be an interrogation rather than an interview
- What? - Nothing!
I'm okay with it.
Please accompany me to the precinct.
Are you ok with cats?
Let's go.
You live here?
Correct!
I haven't seen Mia and Bruno in a long time.
The house is so big!
Long time no see.
Bruno, long time no see! How have you been doing?
Like a stray cat, why are you so scared?
Honestly, the house is so nice.
What does your father do?
My parents are in the middle of a divorce right now.
Now I live with my mom.
I see.
Izumi's mother is a famous designer.
That's why this place is so fashionable.
- Itadakimasu - Please enjoy.
Good?
'Silent' Nishikawa Fumino
Nishikawa Fumino
Nishikawa Fumino is
a young up-and-coming writer in the pure literature world.
She is a promising writer.
She is my favorite writer.
She has a maniac style so I don't think you'd know.
Nishikawa Fumino?!
Tooru said she was someone he admired.
What?! Are you a fan too?
You can call me a fan...
What is it, does he have the same taste as me?
Nice to meet you, literature boy!
No, it's not like that.
You really like pure literature.
- I don't think you'd know. - You're shy.
- Who's shy? - This is not the time to be shy.
Come on.
Hey
Don't write that I'm a literature boy.
Okay.
"The literary boy who hates is called a literary boy."
Literature boy.
Look over there!
Awesome!
- It's really pretty. - It's beautiful!
Aren't you taking too many pictures?
Rather than taking pictures..
Wouldn't it be better to appreciate it with your eyes.
No
If I don't capture this, I'll forget it.
all of it
I don't have the person I was yesterday.
I had memory problems due to an accident. Read the diary on the table.
After waking up, you must read this diary.
May 5th (Sun) I decided to start writing a diary from today.
Is it June already?
Eh?
How about school?
After being discharged from the hospital, you went to school as usual.
But who knows about your memory impairment?
It's just the teachers and Izumi.
What?
You have to be careful not to let other people know.
Why?
Whatever other people do to you, you will not remember.
There might be someone who can take advantage of you.
So you must decide to only get to know people you can trust.
Good morning.
Did you sleep well?
Ummm...
Am I becoming a huge burden?
Not a big burden at all, right honey?
You did a great job.
You saved a kid from being hit by a car.
That's right, we're proud of you.
Could it be, we have this conversation every day?
I feel hopeless.
Even so...
I have to deal with it.
Tooru Kamiya (Tooru-kun) Year 3 Class 1; no club; Birthday February 25 Height 179 cm Shoe size 27 cm Right-handed Blood type AB
There is a glimmer of hope
Because something similar to hope is written
Tooru Kamiya
Tooru-kun
"AB type four-dimensional personality"
'He lives alone with his father'
'A literary boy who hates being called a literary boy'?
What does this mean?
Izumi (trustworthy best friend)
Hello?
Maori?
It's your first date with Tooru today, will you be okay?
I'm sorry, Izumi.
Looks like I having some trouble right now.
I'm not sorry for not being able to help you.
I only do what I can and do what I want.
Thank you
and
It's sudden, but I have something to discuss with you.
Ask me anything.
I'm confused about what to wear on a date.
I don't know.
Eh?!
I don't want to listen to you boasting about love.
I'm not boasting.
Listen
Shall I wear a dress? Or wear a skirt?
Are you going to go on like this? Wear anything!
I consulted with Izumi, but she won't help me at all.
Finally, after a lot of thinking...
'I decided on a blue dress'
"To me today, this is the first time I've met Tooru-kun."
'The first date of my life with a boy I don't know'
'I was a bit nervous too'
'The meeting place is in front of the fountain in the seaside park'
'When talking'
'Be careful not to make mistakes'
Tooru-kun?
I've never seen a proper picnic basket before.
This is my older sister's basket. She bought it at a bazaar.
I only have this at home.
Older sister?
I'm sorry, but have you ever talked about your older sister?
No, I think it's the first time.
That's right.
If I'm not mistaken, you said you live alone with your father.
Until recently, my older sister also lived with me.
But since my mother died early,
My sister played the role of the mother.
So that's how it is. - Huh.
- Here - Wow, that's great!
Looks delicious.
Because you said you want to eat my cooking.
This one!
- Itadakimasu - Please enjoy.
I will eat this.
- Delicious! - Delicious?
I'm glad.
Was it because of your older sister's influence that you became good at housework?
It might be thanks to my sister.
But, in my house there are notes left by my mother.
My mother summarizes the favorite recipes of each family member.
how to clean the house.
and our savings account. Everything is neatly arranged.
What's that?
That's great.
You see, it's because my mother had a weak heart from the start.
So I guess mom made preparations like that.
I see
She must have been a great mom.
She's always taking care of the people around her first.
She was always in the heart of the family.
She was like the sun.
Thank you for telling me your precious story.
I think this the first time...
Talking to somebody about things like this.
- What about you? - What?
Do you have any siblings?
I'm an only child.
I am a very precious only daughter.
Daddy might go crazy if I told him I got a boyfriend.
You don't have to tell him.
Come to my house, let me introduce you as my boyfriend...
I wanted to try something like that.
Let's not do that.
Because it's a fake relationship.
It's so strange, isn't it?
What is?
Because I never talk about myself like this before.
When I'm with you, my heart feels at ease.
It doesn't hurt.
Ah.
Did you sleep well?
...
Who...
are you?
What?
I'm sorry!
- Where am I? - What's the matter?
Excuse me!
Hino!
Izumi (trustworthy best friend)
Hello?
Sorry Izumi I don't know what happened.
What's the matter?
When I woke up, I'm at a park.
There was a boy I didn't know next to me.
Okay, calm down.
There will be a notebook in your bag, so read it first.
I'll go there to pick you up soon, so don't move.
What can you see over there?
Hello?
Tooru, where are you now?
Sorry, Izumi. I'll call you back later.
Are you looking for Maori?
How did you know?
I'll explain everything later.
Once you fall asleep, you forget everything.
I'm sorry!
Anterograde amnesia
That's my story of my strange memory disorder.
The boy listened to my story until the end without saying a word.
I still have clear memories of the day before the accident.
I guess I forget all the new memories after that when I go to sleep.
Like just now.
That's why I write a diary and pass it on to myself the next day.
everyday everyday
So that's why you kept writing.
I'm sorry.
to get you put you in such a strange situation.
strange situation?
like pretending to be a fake couple.
I didn't even like you, but I lied.
using your weakness
If so, it's my fault.
Because I lied.
Turns out, it was impossible for me.
In the future, I'll be troubing you if the same thing happens again.
So, let's end it...
If you don't write what happened today in your diary,
Tomorrow's you won't know what happened, right?
- That's right. - Then
You don't have to write it in your diary.
About falling asleep and telling me about your memory problems.
Tooru, are you okay with that?
I enjoy being with you.
Besides, anyone can make a mistake.
If you look at the diary every day and read about failing, won't be depressed?
So you can pretend that nothing happened today.
Together, the two of us will deceive tomorrow's you.
But...
Maori!
I was surprised that Maori, who just woken up, left.
That's right! Maori have a bit of sleepwalking problem.
Sometimes she would walk around for about 30 minutes while asleep.
If she falls asleep in the future, be sure to call me.
Okay
After that, I talked to Tooru-kun about my memory problems.
I found you Tooru Kamiya!
Thank you for yesterday, it was fun.
Hmm
I had fun too.
Originally, as a girlfriend, I would have to made the lunch box, but
I'm a sucker for someone who can cook.
Yeah I guess so.
It's rude of you for saying something like that.
Even though you said it yourself.
Between being said by others or saying it yourself, the meaning is different.
It's huge!
- We have to include the Ferris wheel. - Ferris wheel?
- I'll press it. - Thank you.
Looks delicious!
I screwed up.
Just a bit!
Any book suggestions?
Let's try this, Hiroki Moriyama's "Miracle"
There was an English proficiency test today.
Do you think you did well?
One, two, three!
I got the best one! Lucky!
I got it!

Substitute holiday on July 1st! Square in front of the 13 o'clock station
I haven't ridden in a long time.
- A little more, a little more! - A little more!
I can do it.
Do your best!
You arrive!
- It feels good to ride a bike. - Right?
It's your turn.
What are you going to do after school tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Anyway, let's do what you want.
Tomorrow's Maori, I'll make her happy too!
"I will make tomorrow's Maori happy too"
'I will make tomorrow's Maori happy too.'
"When I heard that, my heart thumped."
'This must be the first time I'm feeling like this.'

'Thank you, Tooru'
Writer Nishikawa is a complete goddess.
She's so beautiful, I will keep it like a treasure.
She's really cool.
Fumino Nishikawa autograph session commemorating the publication of the Fumino Akutagawa Prize-nominated work "Remnants"
Thank you
Please
Tooru!
What? So you came too, huh?
Too bad, the numbered ticket is already...
Tooru?
Sensei
I'm sorry
Why didn't you tell me?
Sorry for not telling you, I missed the timing.
The Author Nishikawa is your older sister?
I was looked down on you and said arrogant things.
Seriously maniac, that's the worst
But actually she's a small writer. So don't worry about it.
I was surprised, she's a great beauty.
You don't have to praise her like that.
Have a good talk with your sister.
But the appointment time... - It's okay.
I'll meet Maori first.
But I haven't met 'Today's Maori' yet.
Tooru, that means...
Do you know?
I know about her memory impairment.
Just like I thought.
It was on the picnic day in the park that Maori told you?
That's right.
She didn't write in her diary that she told me.
Why?
I begged her not to write it.
I want to continue our relationship as it is now.
In other words, today's Maori...
doesn't know that I know about her memory problem.
She doesn't know.
therefore
... can you keep it a secret from her?
Okay.
That's huge!
It's shining.
Papa!
What's that wide fish..?
What is it?
Must be a stingray
Will I be able to start a family someday?
even have a baby
They say I won't recognize my child every morning.
Even now, my diary is filled with my daily activities.
I think I'm having a hard time keeping up.
I'm sorry.
I feel a bit weak.
Maybe you won't get married, you don't think you can.
When the time comes, let's have fun together.
Even with me, who always feels like a high school student all my life?
Self diss! This is the first time I've heard this joke.
That's funny. That's funny.
I was surprised you had an autograph session here.
The publisher begged me eagerly, so I couldn't refuse.
Aren't you a bit too skinny, Tooru?
Akutagawa-san is amazing.
Even though I haven't won an award yet, your complimenting me too quickly.
Family...
It's a choice I made at the cost of Tooru
I am
not sacrificed
After Mother died of heart disease,
All the housework was done by my older sister.
Those painful days
For my sister, the world in the book was the only place she could lean on.
Is that interesting?
Even after our mother died, our father continued to write novels.
But, Father is no longer as happy in writing as before.
Since then my sister...
secretly wrote a novel while taking care of our father.
Then, you won a literary magazine newcomer award.
Award-winning work Nishikawa Fumino, 'Allium Flower at Sunset' A novel written by my sister before she knew it
The novel that you wrote is also a place to lean on for me.
Good
I'm really glad you're looking forward to it.
But, I don't want to trouble my family.
I'm sorry, I'll hang up
I learned to do housework
I saw my older sister who dedicate herself in novels,
I was proud
That is not a sacrifice.
That's why I cheered for you when you left home.
How's father?
Is he well?
The same as usual.
But are you going to keep it a secret from our father?
Once the award results are out, I'll let him know.
Definitely.
and then?
How about you? Do you have a girl you like?
What?
I knew it.
She's more like a friend than a girlfriend.
That girl...
Had an accident that caused a memory impairment.
Once she falls asleep, she forget all the memories of that day.
So, she keeps a diary of what happened every day.
If she doesn't read that diary again,
she would forget about me.
But...
When she opens her diary, you will always be there.
That's right, so I filled her diary with fun things.
I hope the girl who reads it can think positively every day.
I'm glad you have someone precious to you, Tooru.
I'll go then.
Thanks, see you again
Tooru!
For the sake of that girl too, you have to stay healthy, okay?
Okay
Don't worry about it.
He's here.
Ah!
How cute!
As an apology for being late, I'll buy it for you.
Really?
In that case,
This.
Let's buy a pair as a couple.
- a pair? - You said you meant it as an apology?
- Okay. - I did it!
In that case ...
Bye now
See you tomorrow
You seem to have changed, Tooru.
Really?
You used to be colder like you didn't like Maori.
What's with that creepy smile?
Right now, I want to make every day with Maori fun.
Even if the Maori can't remember you?
Yeah, that's what I decided.
I see.
"For the person in charge of the "Newcomer Art and Literature Award".
The Akutagawa Award is tonight, right?
Akutagawa Prize, Naoki Prize announced tonight
That's right
I see
Hey, while we have time, let's wait for the announcement together.
Eh?
It's Okay. But, where?
For example ...
How about at my house?
What? - What?
My house is closest, right?
- How about it? - Are you okay with that?
Okay
It's decided, Tooru, let's go!
Eh? Wait a sec
Isn't your father at home?
You said if you told him you had a boyfriend, he would go crazy, right?
He would.
How should I greet him?
Don't worry.
We have a system where you don't have to greet him.
What does that system mean?
Are you listening to me?
Don't ignore me.
- Sorry for intruding. - Sorry for intruding too...
I'll clean up my room quickly, wait here.
Huh? Wait a sec
I managed to buy Shiomuroi pudding!
Eh? It's a place where there's always a line, right?
Sorry to bother you. Thank you, Izumi-chan.
But, in exchange, I want to eat two.
- Oh my. - Of course.
I'll get the drinks ready.
- Come in. - Sorry for the intrusion.
- Don't touch my underwear. - I won't.
- It's okay to take a peek. - I wouldn't do anything like that.
I'll call Izumi.
Why are you panicking?
I'm not panicking!
A string came out of your pocket
String?
underwear straps!
So...
Pudding
Thank you
This
You put it on your bag.
as for mines.
I put it on my house keys
What's that?
Oh you know! When you guys went to the aquarium...
Ah, I see, I see.
Hey, doesn't this penguin look like Tooru?
Huh? Does it?
I'm sorry!
I forgot my spoon, I'll bring it.
Sorry
I guess I'll just go home today. I have to cook dinner.
Are you running away?
Weren't you prepared for something like this to happen?
I have memory problems due to an accident. I will read the diary on the desk.
Maori would see this every morning and is indescribably distressed.
She is still reading the diary and energizing herself.
Even in the face of despair, she always smiles.
She never runs away.
Haven't you already decided?
You want to make Maori happy every day?
Akutagawa Prize Fumino Nishikawa "Remnants"
It's my honest feeling that I'm confused right now.
Tooru.
Nishikawa Fumino is...
Did you know?
I knew
What the heck?
So that's it.
Sanae ran away from this house to become a novelist.
My sister is different from me and my father.
What's different?
My sister didn't run away.
She went out to find
her own life
Because of that ...
That's why Sanae looked down on me.
even as a father
I failed as a novelist
She always looks down on me who failed.
What kind of novelist is my father?
You've been running away ever since my mother died!
Tooru, why you!
I...
I don't want to run away anymore.
Tooru!
The reason I wanted to be a novelist...
It was my father's influence.
At first, I wrote it to escape from the real me.
But, then one day, it was no longer like that.
I guess by writing,
I might connect with someone else...
... through my own words.
So I thought.
My dad...
You kept writing novels for my mother, right?
Mother was reading father's novel happily....
She liked them.
At that time ....
... I should have grieved more.
Because it was too sudden.
Even though I'm your father.
And for the two of you.
I have troubled you both.
really
But I'm grateful to my dad.
Dad continues to raise us.
Besides that ...
You stayed by our sides even now.
Dad is a great Dad.
Come in
I thinks this is a bit meddlesome.
But, your father said, wouldn't it be better to think about it?
Musashino Art University
Thank you
but
It's impossible to prepare for the entrance exam at an art college right now.
Ah
Wait a sec.
You draw well.
I was in the art club when I was in middle school. I even received an award.
Give it back
I see
Things that have been learned are not easy to forget.
Memory Mechanism Unraveled! Why can't I forget how to ride a bike?
Is that so?
They call that 'procedural memory'
Procedural memory?
Statement memory: language, images, knowledge, memories Procedure memory: piano, bike, ski
Like how to ride a bicycle, sensory memory is remembered by the body.
So you're saying it's not forgotten?
You said it's been a while, but you were able to ride a bike, right?
Maybe it's the same with drawing?
Your body remembers it, so if you keep drawing, it will develop.
Procedural memory.
So, try to draw more often.
Hmm
I'm not asking you to draw me.
You told me to draw more, didn't you?
I did but don't draw me.
No problem.
Even if I don't remember yesterday, he said that the drawings will get better.
Even though I'm in this state,
He taught me that I can keep doing something.
I want to show what Tooru reflected in my eyes today to the me of tomorrow.
With that determination, I continued to draw him.
Here
That guy
Gives me a ray of hope every day.
Tooru fell asleep because he was tired.
Though my day started with a feeling of hopelessness...
Happiness enveloped me as I spent time with him.
Unaccumulated memories,
and something that may remain.
The me in the diary...
... seems to be really liking him.
and I
I'm going to meet him today.
Fireworks festival
That hairpin!
Did you realize it so late?
It suits you very well
I'm overflowing with happiness again...
.. and my memory can't keep up with it.
Even such a precious moment...
...I will soon forget.
Even this warmth
I will also forget about it.
I don't want to forget.
You won't forget it.
Whatever the memory...
won't disappear completely.
Don't go anywhere, OK?
Tooru-kun
I always
will be by your side
I'm sorry.
Tooru-kun
I...
... Is it okay to break rule number three?
I...
...have broken it a long time ago.
Please.
I will do my best to be kind to others.
I won't say anything selfish.
so
From now..
please let me stay with him.
Even though autumn came, and cultural and sports festivals were held,
Even though winter comes and it snows,
Congratulations on your graduation.
The two continued to be a couple.
I watched them both from close up.
Then, I was left alone.
See you again bye!
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Shall we go home now?
- Umm - Maori. Let's go.
- Thank you so much. - For what?
Without you I would never have gotten my diploma.
You tried really hard.
Great job.
I return the word to you in full.
It's because you made my days fun every day.
Let's go places again together.
Such as aquariums, picnics, and fireworks shows.
There was also a lunch box that Izumi made herself.
Because it's full of memories
But I don't remember though.
By the way, what are you going to wear to the thank-you party?
Oh
The dress I bought the other day
Ah
It suits you well
See you again
Hm
You dress up too.
Okay
See 'ya
Then
Let's meet again tomorrow
Ok see you tomorrow.
Thank you
What for?
For Maori
When I first heard it, I thought the two of you would break up soon.
I also don't know when the Maori memory will recover.
I also feel your love for her will not continue.
Like my parents.
But after seeing you and Maori,
The feeling that you like each other can last a long time.
I came to believe a little bit
I fell in love with you too.
What?
So what if
I ask you to take good care of my friend from now on.
Because you are my precious friend too.
What's the matter? Say something
Izumi
I have a favor
What's up all of a sudden?
I mean
My heart is not very healthy.
So...
I fell down yesterday.
That is not a big deal.
But, my mother also has heart disease.
Just in case, I decided to get tested tomorrow.
I see
It might not be so bad, right?
It's not like it's going to get worse right away, right?
But because my mother passed away...
So, regarding this, it seems better if I ask for your help from now on.
If...
only if
I...
If something happens to me...
Tooru Kamiya
Do you know how many times have I tried calling you!?
What are the results of the examination?
Tooru is...
My younger brother...
was pronounced dead this morning.
He collapsed from an arrhythmia last night.
He did not wake up.
I felt like I was going to be swallowed up by the trembling all over my body.
I...
I was powerless against death.
After much deliberation...
... I told Maori of Tooru's death.
I forced her to bear the sorrow...
... which I couldn't bear alone.
Even though I know we can't share the burden.
It's so strange, isn't it?
Even though I have no memory of that boy...
I only saw his face in pictures.
Even I only remember it in the diary.
It's so strange, isn't it?
It's not strange.
Anyone can see that the two of you were a good couple.
It's not strange at all.
In the end, we couldn't attend his funeral.
Maori's state of mind was completely broken.
She couldn't handle everything.
I also asked Tooru's older sister for help.
I see
Tooru asked for a favor.
Thanks for letting me know.
When Tooru was alive...
... he once told me about Maori.
He wanted to fill her diary with fun memories.
He told the story to me happily.
Then, through her diary...
... she can think positively every day.
So Tooru
Could it be that Tooru already imagined that he would be gone soon?
Imagining Maori-san's feelings as she opens her dairy every morning...
Maori's feelings ... who every morning has to face the death of a lover she doesn't remember.
If something happened to me...
I want you to erase my existence from Maori's diary.
What are you talking about?
If I didn't appear in Maori's diary...
I can be someone that doesn't exist for that girl.
Are you sure about that?
Maori and I...didn't know each other before the accident.
Me and Maori
...actually still haven't met.
So I want you to delete it.
Because you are a precious friend to me too.
If it's too hard for you, I'll take over the manipulation of the diary.
Do you think that method is good?
Tooru left that judgment up to you
So Izumi
you have to decide
If you can't decide, you can blame me.
Because I have a justification to follow my brother's wishes
The decision that Tooru entrusted to me
I imagined a future for Maori that might be broken.
Here it is
When you wake up in the morning, be sure to read this diary.
It's okay she fell asleep.
I'll make a copy of the diary and return it right away.
Can I borrow her smartphone too?
Sunday, May 5, 2019 I decided to start writing a diary.
Promise to meet Tooru in the classroom after school.
Promise to meet Izumi in the classroom after school.
Tooru-kun
(copying)
I had an accident on the first day of the Golden Week holiday.
Izumi-chan, let's do something fun after graduation!
Write in the diary before going to bed
About memory impairment, only parents and Izumi should know
I have memory problems due to an accident. I will read the diary on the desk.
read the diary on the desk
Don't forget about Tooru Kamiya
Please continue to be by her side in the future, next year, the year after that, and the year after that, please...
Come in
It's Izumi
I'll finish the part I was drawing
Please sit down and wait a bit.
I don't know why, but I only draw pictures of this person.
The man drawn in the sketchbook.
My hand remembers, and I keep drawing.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry.
I
I took away your precious memories
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
When you wake up in the morning, be sure to read this diary
This is the diary you actually wrote.
until now
I was hiding it from you, I'm so sorry
I see
I'm troubling you again, Izumi.
Thank you
For respecting the wishes of the person who is precious to me.
Monday May 27th
There is a surprising event.
Excuse me.
Would you date me?
At first, I just answered whatever came to my mind.
Sure
I took that guy's confession lightly.
I wanted to see if I can step into a new world
How about we pretend to be a fake couple?
Pretending to be a fake couple?
There are three conditions.
- condition? - Yes
First, don't talk to each other until after school.
It takes time to organize my memories
Second, keep the online chats as short as possible.
The problem is if there is a discuss about yesterday's topic, I will be in trouble.
Tomorrow, on duty, will be late
Third, don't really fall in love.
Because I can't make memories, feelings like love aren't allowed.
Third, don't really fall in love.
I will make the you of tomorrow also feel happy.
However
He must have known about my memory problems.
Together, the two of us will deceive tomorrow's you.
He pretended not to know...
He gave me good memories, for me who couldn't make memories, making everyday a shining day.
Procedural memory?
So keep drawing more.
To me whose memory can't carry on to tomorrow...
He gave me meaning to live on.
Tooru dropped an ice cream
This is his second ice cream of the day.
How does it taste?
It tastes sad.
That's right
You would understand, Maori.
What?
What's your response?
It must have been a question I shouldn't have asked.
How were you?
Until the day before the end of his life
He stayed by my side.
Where is this?
Kugenuma Inari Shrine
When I was little, I came here with my family on New Year's Day.
He didn't want anything in return.
He only gave me memories.
- It came, it came - above
Even so
I just kept forgetting
The time and memories I spent with him exist only in my diary.
Whatever the memory...
They won't disappear completely.
I have memory problems due to an accident. I will read the diary on the desk.
Don't forget about Tooru Kamiya
Therefore
God, I beg you
... let my time with him be engraved in me.
Don't forget about Tooru Kamiya
Your memory problem is better, so that's great.
Thank you
But I
I can't remember about Tooru
While reading the diary, my heart is filled with happiness.
But I don't have those memories.
In the end, everyone will eventually forget.
Even me, someday Tooru will become a part of my past.
But that's how everyone lives.
Therefore
You can't neglect your future.
Okay
But...
Even so...
If everyone forgets him...
... I want to return it.
Something precious with him...
..will remain in me.
Gotta try this
Delicious!
Can you cook?
You're being rude, aren't you? I made this myself.
Izumi
I have something to tell you.
What's that?
I...
decided to enter an art university.
I thought you would do that.
It's disappointing, I thought you'd be surprised.
Did you say procedural memory? - Huh
That's right
Tooru told me...
Even to me who can't remember
He want to teach that there is something imprinted in me that accumulates even if I can't remember.
So, I don't want to waste those memories.
It's so much like Tooru.
Is that right?
Hm
I see
I'm full!
It was unexpectedly delicious
Unexpectedly?
Ah
Did you sleep well?
In this world that is only being forgotten.
There are things that remain unfaded.
Tooru definitely lives inside of me.
Even if this love disappears from the world...
My heart will continue to draw you.
Your right hand is poking your cheek
A lukewarm mug in my left hand
Your right eyebrow is slightly lowered
The morning has fallen like this
One peony is all it takes
I will impress you and give you happiness enough to forget your heart
It'll be one
The deep night I have to follow to the point where I don't even know what's left or right
The silence of going alone
if you can tell me one
Your left eyebrow is slightly lowered
I can't remember, I don't think I know
In your right hand is a novel that you once bought
well that's the left hand
All you need is one sunlight at night
The sadness that moved you and gave you a glimpse into your heart
it'll be one
I hope I can grope through the summer hail
that your eyes don't close
Peeling the mind from my body bit by bit
I'll give it to you and give it all
Rubies from the hilt, sapphires from these pupils
A heart made of lead, just keep it by your side
One peony is all it takes
I will touch you and give you happiness enough to forget tears
just a little bit
The sun to stop today's drizzle
All it takes is a little bit for your world, all it takes is a little bit for my shoeprint
Do you know that your happiness is not one
The deep night I have to follow to the point where I don't even know what's left or right
In the long days ahead that you're going to go, I won't
if you can tell me one
No matter what I eat, I can't taste it, it feels like my body has disappeared
I thought your heart and mine would forever be one
