Honestly, while I've sometimes had some fair predictions, I'm not sure where this will go next. I could think of a variety of next steps from here. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this leads to another jump, given how much is building up and how much uncertainty there is. |

Well, now that's very interesting indeed.
When the Japanese use the term "Munakuso" to describe stories does that mean "something that hurts your heart"? I can't find the definition of the term on the internet, but I see it used a lot to describe the stories that I read these days. |

Can't say I've heard that term before. When I look the word up "disgusting" keeps coming up (makes sense since it combines the word for "chest" and the word for "sh!t"), and I honestly don't feel that fits for this (at least I don't feel any disgust), but yeah it definitely can be a hard read. I'm keeping with it because I earnestly believe it's heading to a happy ending, and I can go through a ton of tribulations in a plot if it ends with a happy or at least hopeful conclusion.

Oh oh, I'm afraid to find out what that's about. Might be painful again.
"Munakuso" is obviously an unpleasant feeling, but in what way I'm not sure. It seems to be used for painful or unpleasant feelings generated from a relationship scene in a story, but I don't know what those scenes have in common. They vary so much. I should compile a list of chapters where Munakuso is mentioned as a warning and go from there. Maybe it's from relationships that are threatened to be torn apart? I'll figure it out some day, Thanks for looking it up. |

Just when I think I've figured out where this roller coaster's going, it throws me for an even crazier spin...

I seriously didn't expect this. I could see how it could happen, with all the frustration she'd been through. Still, looks like this time around it's largely about being honest with himself, admitting what he wants to do and be and actually going for it. He was wrong to obsess over being her first and only, yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she's better off without him. |

The last part on this week is very confusing. Maybe it's the limit to my understanding of the language, but some of the lines don't seem to make much sense to me. It's clear that Taro knows something that Nishimori doesn't, or that he forgot. I've had moments when I was uncertain where things were going, but honestly no chapter has left me more confused and blind to the future paths. |

To be fair, one could argue whether his feelings were quite the same as the "love" one would experience at a later age. From her statements it sounds like Mika didn't really grasp it either back then, saw it more as a promise to be together forever.

I really, really hope the author gives Taro someone else to love. He's been fighting just as hard as Tooru to protect Mika and find a happy future, and I honestly don't want to see a "happy ending" where he is left alone. I definitely want to see Mika and Tooru end up happy together, but just as much I want to see Taro find someone he can love even more than Mika. |

Rather odd development this time, kind of looks like we've got a timeline split, which begs the question of what till happen when the other time traveler decides to return but Nishimori chooses to stay in the future. Is Nishimori going to be dead in the past until/unless he returns? Is he just going to go on with various memories lost? I suspect something will happen to make him return, but I'm curious how long it'll take or how it'll happen. |

OK, not gonna lie, some of this week's chapter felt a bit like a cop-out.
Spoiler for 53:
I'd imagined a few different ways for Nishimori to return to the past, like maybe telling future Mika the whole truth and her either telling him to go or killing him to send him back. All were kind of cheesy, but I certainly didn't expect some sort of Deus Ex Machina to throw him back like that. Oh well, guess the author wrote himself into a bit of a corner or something. |
