Erased
| If was obvious from the start imo when reading the manga. I had that hunch when I saw him appearing for the first time. Then again this series isn't about a murder case but more like if Satoru could understand what happened in 1988 when the murders happen. You know that scene when Yashiro sensei picked up Satoru and his mom for a ride and then Satoru discovered loads of candies in his car. Well that was like a huge statement saying: "Nah don't bother making hypothesises about who the killer is, he's right there." So it didn't bother me that much, the only thing that kept me going is to find out how Saotoru was actually going to deal with all this and then the events happened. But ofc people will only care about the killer and only focus on that... |

Regardless of this fact, you'll enjoy this manga for sure. Nevertheless, the story has ''that something''. To be honest it was so gripping that I just couldn't put it down until I caught up. Well, there was so developments I didn't like as well, but it was certainly worth my time (there is also the last chapter coming out in March).

I couldn't have put it better myself, but in the scene you're talking about (when Satoru discovered the candies) it was only the two of them, I mean Satoru and Yashiro. Yea obviously, her mother was pretty clueless since the murders didn't actually happen in the second timeline and assuming Hinazuki was supposed to be the first victim of Yashiro's list. |

| Do you expect a mind boogling plot twist that could probably make no sense in the story? The series wasn't even meant to be a detective series in the first place. I guess the Op read the manga after seeing the first episode of the anime and thought this was a mystery show. I guess you could say it's more of a supernatural thriller. One thing that I realised about this series, is that the author tties to add realism to his work. That's something I like very much personally (except for the Revival thing but who cares at this point?) |

| The reason it gets more praise is that imo the MC doesnt focus on finding the murderer himself but on changing the lives of those around him: by distancing them from any threaths by protecting them withing his group of friends and completely improving their lives especially Hinazuki's. Eventhough this series has elements of a typical crime story, it takes itself as a "rewrite the past" story. Honestly I couldnt care less about how predictable the mystery was. I was more attached to the characters themselves and how (and if) they would live throughout the series. God damn this series is a page turner! |

There us actually very little realism in this story The hole plot just exists and move forward because of the supernatural aspect the children characters are geniuses that can easily realize something is wrong with satoru and the drama is really overblown |

There's no denying it. |

| For me it being predictable has been a major negative on the series. They made is seem like it was going to be the teacher and kept alluding to it being him that I was hoping for it to be a red herring. And while the mystery fell flat, I'm personally not very fond of what happens after the killer is revealed either. |

It's not about the time travel powers he has. The author gave him this as a means to an end to achieve his goal of the plot moving forward in the story. If you understand that much then it doesn't need to be explained. I mean what will it change for us knowing that in all honesty? |

No one ever complains with plot armor or powers that the MC has for the sake of keeping the plot going |

No one ever complains with plot armor or powers that the MC has for the sake of keeping the plot going Its been this way since the first episode. My question is, what will change either way if we find out? My answer is, nothing really because the main focus is on saving the people in 1988 plain and simple. Its not some insane asspull, its more of a suspension of disbelief with the author wanting us to understand that in this world the MC can do this for some unknown reason that he feels doesn't need to be explained because the focus of the main story is to save the people in 1988. I mean what could the author possibly come up with, a god gave him this power, he was hit on his head, something stupid like that. I prefer not to know than having some stupid explanation ruin the mystery behind it. As stated before, not everything needs to be explained and some things that can be explained do not always necessarily need to be. |
| i'd love to read the manga final chapter and find out that this was actually all in the mc imagination after getting ran over by the truck in episode 1. oh the rage and hatred that would create in the forums |
