Synopsis summarized from the manga's official page:
Kaori Fujimiya is always alone because all of her happy memories, including time spent with her friends, disappear every Monday. Deciding that he wants to be friends with her anyway, Yuuki Hase tries to get close to Kaori each week, wishing that she would one day call him "a friend."

The thought of all your memories disappearing once a week? Sounds painful. Will watch.

Incidentally, if it's just the happy ones that vanish that sounds even worse.

I haven't read this series yet, but I adored the mangaka's other work, Kimi to Kami Hikouki to. The synopsis sounds cute, too. Will definitely be looking forward to picking up the manga, though anime adaptations of manga (or from mangaka) I like always make me nervous.

This is as close to a shoujo anime I can get so i'll take it!

Now, to start my prayers and hope that this anime doesn't bomb in sales or hope that the manga gets a significant boost.

Though I'm not very hopeful...

Why would you hope that doesn't happen? It's generally a good thing if a manga or anime gets received well, you know, as it means the manga will get time to develop and won't get cancelled and if the anime sale is really well it might even open the path to a 2nd season?

The art fits perfectly for the story in the manga and i can't believe they are making an anime of this. I wonder what studio would be animating,

I hope it will not be a 10 minute episode anime.

I think she means that she hopes that the anime won't do badly in sales. Thus, 'bomb in sales'. I hope this anime does well in sales as well.

This is an excellent example of good mix of shounen/seinen/shoujo style and show why such tag is getting less and less meaningful for a manga (and of course anime).

A surprise that this gets the push and picked to be animated though, have to say.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

J'ai toujours eu ce sentiment un peu étrange d'être comme extérieur à mon corps. Cette impression de flotter quelque part au dessus, ou d'être dans une salle de cinéma, assis au fond, en train de regarder un long film interminable et à attendre que quelque chose se passe. Cette impression de lutter pour devoir rester éveillé, cette envie d'attraper le personnage principal pour lui dire de se bouger, sans cependant pouvoir rien faire sans briser l'écran.
