Hidden among Yen Press’s large collection of light novels are the occasional standalone novels, stories that aren’t part of a series or filled with anime-inspired illustrations. One such title is author Misaki Ichijo’s debut work: Even If This Love Disappears Tonight, which I’m here to take a look at today. Will it delight? Let’s find out! Saya memiliki amnesia anterograde, dan saya lupa hal -hal ketika saya tidur di malam hari. Segala sesuatu yang terjadi dalam sehari”. Kenangan dan pengalamannya diatur ulang setiap hari, dan dia menuliskan peristiwa hari itu dalam buku harian dan bangun pagi -pagi untuk meninjau mereka agar ingatannya tetap hidup. Tooru dikhususkan untuk membawakannya sebanyak mungkin kebahagiaan. Namun, kehidupan sehari -hari seperti itu tidak bertahan lama. Apa “rencana” yang telah dirancang Tooru untuk melindungi kebahagiaan Maori? Klimaks yang mengamuk dan kelembutan yang rapuh akan membungkus dunia dengan air mata hangat sekali lagi. Tooru agrees to these conditions, assuming at first that Maori simply wants to enjoy pretend dating and has reasons of her own for having a fake boyfriend. The two begin spending their days together after school and our protagonist soon realises he has fallen for Maori and works up the courage to tell her, but the truth behind Maori setting the rules she did is revealed and shatters Tooru’s world.

Based on novel "Konya, Sekai kara kono Koi ga Kietemo" by Misaki Ichijo (published February 22, 2020 by Media Works Bunko). Toru Kamiya makes a heartfelt confession to her, she informs him that she has a disease. When she wakes up, her disease causes her to have no memory of the day before. She keeps a diary of what happened the day before and reads it in the morning to be able to recall her memories. Toru Kamiya decides to bring to her as many happy days as possible. The novel has been adapted into a Japanese live-action film as of last year, although that doesn’t appear to be available in English at the time of writing. Author Misaki Ichijo has also written a sequel following Izumi titled Even If These Tears Disappear Tonight, which Yen Press are due to release in May. Comparing with the trailer, I really love that it doesn't give any spoiler and no one would know what's coming. The 3 rules of Tooru and Maori relationship mentioned but finally explained at the end of the movie.

I know for sure I don't have anterograde amnesia, because I've seen this premise before. The hero encounters a beautiful girl and their relationship deepens, only for him to discover that she won't remember him once the day ends. At this point, Adam Sandler should be getting royalties from the publisher. I think all the characters in this movie was well-written, I also liked Maori's friend, Izumi, who is always there to help her no matter what, and she also eventually supported Toru and Maori's relationship so much. She was truly one of the important characters in the movie as she also played an important role towards the end of the film. Although one thing that I didn't quite understand was the relationship between Toru and his family, but I do think that showing this was necessary especially for the ending of the movie. The story is a bit slow pace but it gets more and more beautiful as the relationship between Toru and Maori grows. You can recognize real love when you see what someone does for another person selflessly, and the romance in the story here is real love, although in the beginning it wasn't. You will also see real and strong friendship between Maori and Isumi. The chemistry between the two leads is just perfect, in my opinion. I enjoy watching good things about people. We've seen the bad of this world, the terrible people of this world, more than enough in films these days, why don't just take a look here and see that good people are out there; real love is out there and real friends for life exist?

The story revolves around a young man named Tooru Kamiya, who asked Maori Hino to go on a date with him to protect his friend Shimokawa from school bullies. This was the condition set by the bullies to stop harassing Shimokawa. Unexpectedly, Maori agreed to go on a date, and eventually, they became fake couples. But she had three conditions: first, they would not talk until after school; second, their interactions had to be brief; and third, he couldn't fall in love with her. tooru is a great character and seeing his character growth throughout this book is amazing. the writer surely write him as a dream guy: read books, family boy, kind, care about people around him a lot, head over heels for his girlfriend and try his hardest to give her happiness, always respectful. he's perfect. and i usually hate this kind of character, but tooru was written in the best way possible that i just can't hate him! If you like bittersweet teen romances like I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and Your Lie in April, then Even If This Love Disappears Tonight may appeal to you, but this one is firmly middling in its genre due to its weak setup. This is definitely one of those stories where the strength of the concept is meant to override the flaws in the execution and storytelling, but the hurdles were too steep for me this time. Even if it were to disappear from my memory tonight, I won't be making an effort to remember this one.

Alice in Borderland (2020)

Toru and Maori's reasons for deciding to fake-date each other are similarly flimsy. Usually, the couple would face some kind of negative outcome if they don't agree to fake-date, but here there's nothing of the sort to justify the trope. Toru agrees to this convoluted setup without question because he's just nice and accepting. Even though the novel wastes no time in describing Maori as beautiful, it also makes pains to convey that Toru is not the shallow kind of guy who lets her looks influence his decision. Even after she explains her motivation to try something new in life, there's no indication of why she found him worthy of trust as a stranger, or even sees him as physically attractive. It fits with the common trope of pure love transcending superficial attraction, but in this case the couple has such little chemistry that it makes for a terribly boring romance. Cliché circumstances then allow her to meet Tooru Kamiya, who is the other protagonist of this story. Most of the story is told from his point of view (it changes between the two of them) and we learn that he's from a poor family, and has some family issues of his own. The story then follows the two of them navigating their life as a (fake!!) couple, but with a catch; Hino doesn't remember anything she does with Tooru, and falls in love with him slowly, each day they spend together. With so much to portray, the pace of the movie is just right. It allows the viewer to feel each emotion in depth and very stealthily transitions to the next one. The movie starts with empathy for all 3 characters in different ways, goes on to boost serotonin (with hints of despair) and then breaks everything down towards the end.

All jokes aside, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is a predictable book from start to finish. It hits all the notes of a sentimental teen love story to an almost clinical degree. Although it does have a satisfying ending that lives up to the themes of the story, the road to it is full of shallow characterization and contrivances that don't even make much symbolic sense; they exist merely to set up the inevitable tragic scenario.The cast is perfect, especially the trio. They reprised the role perfectly. I don't think I should talk about both main leads, they did perfectly, a really cute couple. But I don't expect much from Izumi-chan yet she "stole" the show. Finally someone do justice to the couple's friend lol However, Tooru was unaware of a significant problem. Maori was suffering from a disease called anterograde amnesia, which caused her to forget everything that happened each day when she went to sleep. For example, the instigating incident, where a bully pressures Toru into making a false love confession to Maori, makes no sense for any of the characters psychologically. The bully himself has no reason to be fixated on Maori or on Toru's relationship with her. Toru decides to go along with it even though he harbors no secret feelings for Maori at this point, and he was perfectly capable of standing up to the bully in the previous scene. Afterward, the bully rehabilitates himself out of a belated sense of guilt and is never relevant to the story again, except to make a ham-fisted point near the end about how people are capable of changing. He's simply an uncreative plot device to get the two lead characters talking because they have nothing in common otherwise.

Each day (hehe) - no matter how difficult, no matter what monsters our dreams remake in the night - still exists as its own entity. Even separated from the past and the future, the present and the stories and relationships between us (hi El, if you're reading this - I love you) carry so much weight. And the good memories we make, the footprints we leave on the sand, will weather against the waves, but never fully wash away.

Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!

The start of the movie greatly hints on what eventually happens later in the movie, which is something that I didn't really like but I guess that's what made me want to continue watching it even more. And with how Toru and Maori's relationship started, you'd think it's a typical "fake dating" trope, but in my opinion, it wasn't, their chemistry didn't feel forced and it really looked like they enjoyed each other's company. It was painful still, because for Maori, she was meeting this stranger for the first time everyday and she always had to put up a front. The part that I really liked was from the point when Toru found out about her illness, because at this point, Toru had actually fallen in love with Maori and despite knowing that she forgets him everyday, he was determined to make her everyday fun. One of my favorite lines in this movie was when Toru was talking to his sister about Maori, when he said "When there are fun things written in her diary, it would be nice if when she reads it, she'd be able to look forward to everyday, even if just for a bit.", my heart hurt a bit when I heard him say that but at the same time, I felt so much respect for this character. i first read this book because the movie adaptation is played by micchi and rikoㅡand i ended up loving this! Don't worry I won't spoil anything especially the plot because it's more enjoyable when you know nothing. You're welcome. A movie about treasuring each day no matter what. I hope I'm not too biased in writing this review just because I'm a fan of Micchi (Michieda Shunsuke) but I just think that this movie is really good. Even just from watching the trailer, it has greatly piqued my interest. At first, the plot reminded me of the series One Week Friends, where the girl also had amnesia, except her memories reset each week instead. The book is mostly written from the perspective of Tooru, but there are chapters told through Maori’s eyes as well as Izumi’s and that helps give us a rounded view of what everyone’s feeling as the story goes on. There are also some of Maori’s diary entries included, so we can see the kind of detail she keeps about her days and snippets of her feelings toward Tooru. It certainly helps keep the reader engaged in the world and hits hard emotionally as the book goes on.
