I'm not sure how will it end but its sad to imagine that they're gonna forget each other.

This manga has brought me to the point where I want to run around screaming at the top of my lungs and setting things on fire with joy. It's amazing. But I swear to God if this author does anything and I mean anything remotely similar to fuuka I will find him and I'm not sure what I would do.

I reccomend "Last Game"

Ah but now the fun begins. What do they do now?

Assuming Hishiro reciprocates, do they kiss? If they were a western couple, they would. Would the support team interfere? They believe Hishiro knows they are both adults but they aren't sure if Kaizaki knows or not. If they don't interfere, does that tell Kaizaki that they're both adults? If the support team does interfere, are they just being cruel?

Beyond that, where does this go? What do Hishiro and Kaizzaki do? Are they just in love or are they now co-conspirators trying to figure a way to get their love to last beyond the end of the memory erase date?

I can't hardly wait to find out.

She just turned 18, so I think they don't need to intervene. I also don't think that Kaizaki plans to kiss her since it's still not easy for her to deal with love and skinship.
And for now they are just in love, at least from kaizaki's part. Hishiro suspects, but she's not sure. I'm pretty sure they will discover each other real identity before the end of the experiment, we have only to see how it happens.

True enough. They are adults both in reality and in their supposed reality. Which means, among other things, that they could marry. I assume that its fairly rare for high schoolers to marry before the end of the term but stranger things have happened. It's possible that in the throes of this romance and confronted with the memory erase date, they may find themselves thinking, "The company won't make a legally married couple forget each other." Could the company erase their memories and the memories of all their friends who might have attended the wedding? What choice would the company have?

And take this one step further. Suppose Hishiro were to become pregnant.

Lex1979 said:
Uhm, I think marriage and sex with the risk of pregnancy are situations that supervisors are supposed to prevent, so Kaizaki and Hishiro could not pull such plans without help from Ahn and Ryo. I can see their supervisors wanting to help them at all costs, but there is a catch. Both Kaizaki and Hishiro are jobless and going against relife is a very risky proposition when they are counting on the company's help to find their place in society.

To do something like that without the help of the support staff would require something really clever.

Assuming none of that happens, we still have the question of what happens after the experiment concludes. Without a job at ReLife, their resumes are actually worse than they were before. Potential Employer: I see your last job was a year ago. What have you done since then? Subject: Went back to High School.

Obviously I'm overthinking this but now that I've caught up, I have plenty of time to wonder.
