| It's so funny to see people on Reddit say that it's obvious the teacher is *not* the culprit, since that'd be too easy. Oh, how disappointed they'll be.

Then Erased may likely become the most backlash-inducing anime ever, given its extremely high average right now. |

lolalanda said: PD2: I'm really tired of people calling everything NTR. Netorare is a kink genre of hentai that makes a fetish of cheating, sometimes even making a kink of a person being cheaten on, so it's more about the sadness of being cheaten rather than the sense of danger of keeping a second life, or the voyeurism of seeing your partner having sex with someone else. So they are basically animated versiins of The Room. .... When a token couple breaks up, is not NTR. A person marrying someone else is not NTR. Even sometimes a story could depict cheating and not be NTR. It's the readers that got NTR-ed and feel cheated by the author, not the MC. |

| I don't know why I thought "The world we live is really an amazing place for beautiful things to happen, even though it does not happen quite often." as soon as I saw the snowy town and the reunion of MC and Airi, but that scene is just beautiful. It is soooo beautiful that I think the reality isn't as harsh as people make it out to be. |

| Wasn't the greatest ending. |
| How do you screw up a story so badly? Is this the kind of ending that appeals to Japanese people? I'm honestly disgusted to the point where I'm going to become that guy. |
| I liked the ending, but I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't disappointed. For one, Airi was never really "explained". She just shows up randomly all the time in places where it is just way too convenient and more than coincidence. Two, there was no closure with Kayo after she came in with a baby. Like WTF, the whole first half is building up the relationship with the two, and then it just gets thrown away. Three, the fact that he regains all of his memories in five seconds is just absurd. Personally, I think it would have been better off if he had slowly regained pieces, and by the time the manga ended he wouldn't have had all the memories remembered but most of the important ones. It's such a cop out to just slap it all in one go. However, I still think this was a great manga. A bit disappointing, but still a great story on its own and better than a lot of other manga/anime. I'd give it a 8.5-9 / 10. |
| El. Psy. Congroo. |
| Thoroughly enjoyed the manga. I do have to say that what I enjoyed the most was the very real struggle Satoru showed. Going up against a sly and clever murder who can frame others for his crime,direct the investigation away from himself and is right under your nose the whole time sounds very scary. I don't really care about the romance with Airi, although love is the motive. To me she is a radical variable who can spur our mc to change his mode of thinking, or his pattern of behaviours. So Satoru can begin to believe in himself, he can find hope he has lost, he can regain his memories. She's a vital part of the story, and I like how she was written, but I feel sort of sad she didn't play a bigger role in the long run. GinnTokki said: there was no closure with Kayo after she came in with a baby. Like WTF, the whole first half is building up the relationship with the two, and then it just gets thrown away. I don't think there needs to be closure with Kayo. After 15 years in a coma with many memories missing, I'd think Satoru wouldn't be that disappointed. It's expected that Kayo would move on (and not cling onto the regrets of the past). She only became a love interest in the first place because Satoru wanted to "save" her. The relationship was built up well and made the things Satoru were doing actually meaningful, but it didn't need to extend past their childhood. I'm a little disappointed that the ending wasn't a more intense face-off between Yoshino and Satoru, but I liked it nonetheless. 10/10. |
| I didn't check to see if there was a discussion already, but I had written down my thoughts when I finished the chapter a few days ago: That was a pretty amazing read, it became really uplifting in a way after Satoru woke up, and I really like the theme of the manga, which is not really about saving people or the mystery, but about moving forward and becoming who you want to be. It's weird, but the last chapter is still making me cry, and it's one of those moments where tears come out of your eyes before you know the reason for why you're feeling emotional. I guess it's because the second time around, despite Satoru actually spending less time living (being conscious), this second time has been all the better, as he realized how many people were by his side. Before, he was sort of jaded, but he isn't any longer. And I think it's beautiful that he would think that "the town where only I am missing. The time engraved in that place is my treasure." Now we know the true meaning of the title. I'm really happy that Satoru ended up in a happy place, and part of my tears is probably me hoping that I can get there too. I'm glad I picked it up when I saw that it got ranked in an award almost three years ago. ------------------------------- So it seems like there isn't a similar interpretation to the manga here like mine, makes me feel as if I was reading a completely different manga than everyone else. I'm going to stand by my interpretation that this is a manga for people who are lost, and people who feel like they need to do something. Of course the manga incorporated mystery almost all the way through, so the mystery should be done well. While the mystery wasn't exceptional, it also wasn't terrible, it did what it was supposed to do, which was build tension and make it seem that what Satoru was doing was important. It was also what allowed Satoru to make a good connection with all of the people this time around. People like others who work hard at something they believe in, even if it's silly. Just throwing it out there again why mystery was used and why it shouldn't be the main focus when thinking about the manga as a whole. Well, in my opinion of course. The theme really resonated with me because Satoru's attitude in the beginning of the manga relates to my current attitude about life, but through all the struggles, he was able to change. |

| Mediocre manga, sad to see it get so much praise. |
| happy epilogue ending achieved, a great rollercoaster ride with the writing dropping a bit in the last third, but Kei Sanbe has been like this for his previous works. A very definitive improvement has been shown considering he managed to earn an anime adaptation off BokuDake. |

| I have mixed feelings about the ending. Honestly, it was rather predictable and felt a bit anti climatic. Plus, I didn't find Airi's appearance in the finale to be anything special. However I have to say the journey that Satoru took was like no other and that's quite an experience. I also thought his relationship with Kayo is the most prominent especially in the first half of the series. The revelation of the culprit was pretty easy to figure out tbh considering that there wasn't really much suspects to narrow it down from the character cast. Yes, I expect the anime will actually end like this but with a lot of cuts in between. But all in all, good series. Good but not great in my book. |
 |
| While i quite liked and enjoyed it, I somehow didn't feel engaged in it...? (maybe because i was to wary of spoilers xD) Still, quite a satisyfying ending, and a 8.5/10 from me. |

| I knew nothing about this story until I picked up the anime a couple of weeks ago. After the whole situation with Kayo was solved in the last episode I knew that had been the climax and the series would only go downhill from there. The story is simply horribly structured. It's a mystery that isn't really a mystery, a romance that isn't really a romance, a time travel fantasy that glosses over the fantasy elements, a story about heroism where the serial killer racks up a huge bodycount which gets unsatisfyingly swept under the rug and, worst of all, a series where one of its arcs (getting to know and saving Kayo) completely eclipses everything else to the detriment of the story as a whole. It's telling that A-1 decided to spend all the time necessary on that even if they now have to rush the remaining volumes. |
| Beautiful ending.... It's been a while since i read manga with satisfying ending. Nice conclusion, for the culprit and for satoru himself. One of my favorites mystery manga 10/10 |
     |
| it was alright. Probably should have just stuck to anime version. |
| This manga is only good at the beginning, I agree with most people before. A moment after satoru wake up from coma is meh, 7/10 overall. I think the anime have good choice to skip many scene because most of them are uninteresting. And is everyone notice that the time travel itself is a deep plot hole? |
| guess it's safe to say mc guy ended up with airi.. fuck that kayo x mc guy ship.. it sunk at chapter 35... |

| I had just recently picked up and binged watched the anime until its latest episode (10). I couldn't handle the wait, so I picked up the manga and read through the entire thing, beginning to end, in a single sitting. And I have to say, sitting here after experiencing all the story has to offer, I'm left disappointed and unfulfilled. I have 2 main problems with the story:
For Kayo, while it's somewhat upsetting that the MC got NTR (?) in a way, it's also somewhat cute that 2 of the people that were supposed to be dead at this point in time (and were consequently saved by the MC) ended up happily together. It is, it's cute. And it also makes sense. I'm not upset about that. Arguably, it can be said half of the entire series takes place during the "childhood scenario", and the focal point of this scenario is the relationship between the MC and Kayo. It was all about our MC desperately trying to find a way to get Kayo to open up and talk to him so he could find out the information necessary to save her. Thus, she is a HUGE character, or rather should be, to the story. After our MC wakes up, the very next scene we see of her is: She's happily married, just had a child, and has no reason to ever interact with the MC ever again. WHAT!? I'm sorry, that is just not how you treat a character who has had so much time focused on them. It's fine that she's with Generic Supporting friend # 4 (as I said, it's cute in it's own way). But it's not fine that she is solely treated as a Damsel for our MC to save, and is then saved and cast out of the story. The whole ending ship with Airi is okay I guess, but it makes me feel weird. They are what, 10-11 years apart in age? Doesn't sit well with me, but it isn't totally unacceptable either. At this point, though, I'd prefer the MC ended up alone or died or something instead of this. It's just so generic and mediocre. Airi's character is also a bit of a disappointment too, now that I think about it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My second issue pisses me off much more. What are reruns? Why do they happen to the MC, and why is he seemingly the only person who is effected by them, or has any knowledge of them? Why do they follow inconsistent rules? Why are they never explained EVER? The entire concept of reruns is the whole premise of the story, YOU CAN'T JUST NOT EXPLAIN THEM! At this point, it's basically "magic". Not the good kind either. At first, we are given a few specific rules/patterns that reruns follow:
This is what we are introduced to. However, right after Best Mom dies, the rules completely change. Suddenly, our MC reruns after a death, not before. He also reruns out of emotion/determination; suddenly he IS in control. Why were the rules changed? This was one of the mysteries that kept me hooked on the series and made me want to know more. At one point, right after the failure of saving Kayo and after the motif of "saying something over and over can make it happen" had been thrown around a few times, I thought our MC was in someway actually related to Death Reapers. Why else were his reruns only triggered when someone is about to die or has died? Why else could he suddenly have control over time? I figured other characters probably had this ability too. Boy I got that one wrong. Nothing was explained. It was all just convenience because "the author said so". - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In the end, the Manga was enjoyable. Decent and compelling premise, but it dropped the ball on so many occasions. And looking back in hindsight, I realize all the potential mysteries that drove me to binge watch/read the series were either never addressed or were actually mediocre and not well thought out all along. It's depressing. Giving this series a 7/10. It's above average because of the first half, but overall the story and presentation was just lazy and uninspiring: it just takes you a while to realize that. |

| I´m just giving a 10 to this. Though the ending was nothing like surprising or impressive, the story is too good and I´ve come to like all the characters. Also I started reading the manga a couple months ago so my point of view surely difers from those who´ve been following it for so long. I will definitely recommend it to everyone ^^ |
| So much salt... and there's gonna be even more when the anime ends. Can't wait. I personally liked the ending. It made me feel good seeing everyone alive and happy. Especially Satoru. The ending scene with Airi just made everything even better. |
CupOfRumAndGo said: ahuman said: The teacher still gets the extra 15 years of killing. That's the point. How many victims were there during that 15 years? If he kills 3/year, it's 40-50. If more, up to a hundred. Nice job Satoru. You've saved 3 kids and 1 Yuuki outta overall ~50 kids and 10+ Yuukis you could've save. But Satoru doesn't even think of it. We'll he is a dumb, so it's probably okay? Nice job author. I still don't understand why do you hate your own MC that much. You're forgetting that he was on the loose even in the "original" timeline for 18 years before Satoru came back in time. Including his mother's death... and he probably wouldn't been catched even "now". So maybe he didn't save everyone while he was asleep, but he saved at least the people from his past and the possible future victims... And now I'm going to say my opinion of the ending... or rather at the ending scene which I love! XD Just can say that I was rooting for him and Airi from the beginning and I'm kinda satisfied with the ending... sure, it could have been more specific but this way, with the open ending for them, I can imagine what ever I want and no one can ruin it XD but his tears of happiness, when he saw her, were more than enough for me. As for the rest, as in any other manga, there were plenty situations that could be done better and such, but I loved the story from the beginning and can't wait to watch the last two upcoming anime-episodes (and see the situations in moving with voices and such... ach, just fangirling over Satoru in-anime way too more) XD :) |

The twist I was expecting Ok seriously though, i can't really comment on this chapter without commenting on the previous one. The climax really, really lacked punch. There are authors who are good at anticlimactic resolutions (Togashi comes to mind) and this guy. Yashiro just gave up, he didn't have any other backup plan, he lost to a semi-crippled person, I mean, come on, he changed from a strong-willed person to "yay Satoru, you're stopping my plans again, let's die together because I conveniently saw a spider thread on my head some chapters ago." It really feels like the author ran out of ideas or maybe had something different in mind. I was expecting some mindfuckery twist... I'm not a fan of Shyamalan at all but there was a lot of build up and details so naturally you would expect some kind of twist, even Death Note did it better. Now about this chapter... as an epilogue it was pretty okay, but I was still expecting something else, some surprise. Nope, Yashiro gave up and conveniently confessed everything (well, it's not like Satoru had a lot of evidence), and still a lot of kids died either way, just in other towns. I was expecting the pizza boss or Jun's dad to be involved in some way. The only thing that comes remotely close to a surprise was the fact that Satoru does become a successful mangaka in the end, I really thought the author had forgotten about this point long ago. As many have pointed out, the revival power is not explained. Now I won't complain about the rules (they were explained in general at the beginning) or why sometimes it works different than it should, I'm just a bit annoyed that the very reason for him having this power is never explained. Why did he lose his power anyway? Someone wrote that it was because he had changed enough to take a stand (and also because he finally saved the kids of course), I'm gonna go with that as well. I don't mind that Satoru didn't end up with Kayo, actually, none of the two girls felt right to me: Satoru was much older than Kayo (mentally) when he saved her, and he was already much older than Airi in the first place. That is precisely why I understand that the 15 year coma was "necessary" from a writing POV, otherwise Satoru's mind would be even older in the new future. Just "sending" him to the future like the first time wouldn't have had the same impact. The execution of the rest of the arc is another matter of course. About the ending scene I'm sensing the author changed his mind halfway and thus the series suffered a lot. Maybe he was planning to send Satoru to the past once more to catch Yashiro but couldn't find how to do it logically due to all the potential issues of going through adolescence again and having the mind of a 29 year old. I think this could have been easily a 9/10 or better but with the final arc I'd give it an 8/10. Can't punish the series that much just because of the ending, the starting set up is pretty solid. |

| Heck yeah, Satoru x Airi is on its way to canon! I don't care even if it got a bit meh (HiromiKayo... seriously? Where's the backstory? All I know is Hiromi applied vaselline over Kenya's wounds once and suddenly, Kayo feelings for Hiromi toppled over Satoru... Also, the whole 'outwitting' in the previous chapter made me laugh during Kenya and Satoru's discussion session) Anyways, the best pair happened and that's enough for me (even though the whole reunion scene was a little eh and melodramatic) Characters were the strongest point of this series, and most of them got good development. Liked the message, too. The way Kayo got treated in the last arc was meh, but sigh. Anyways, its a good manga which had some very interesting plot twists. Gonna applaud the author for being gutsy enough to make the MC end up with the fandom's secondary choice for him while providing solid hints and reasons on why it should be the canon pairing. I like the way it was buildup a lot. |

| I need to spend some time thinking about this series before I talk about it. That's a good sign. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Well, that was an okay ending. Satoru should just marry Kenya. |
