Something about him still remembering her and their anniversary while he's in the last stage of his dementia is very endearing to me and I felt very sad.
Nobody talking about that scene where she nearly loses the ring, but desperately looks for it because even though she can't quite remember why she knows it's very very important? That was the realest moment in this for me.
I think, dementia maybe it sets in early. Maybe you return to a place that you never fixed and only the most solid thing about you remains. And maybe we've just been faking it, so all thats left is a bitter and lonely heart that just wants the "strangers" to just leave us alone.
After I saw how much she's willing to tease him in the confession scene, I finally understood why he attached such significance to her not mentioning them being lost on their first date Q.Q
Even with his Dementia, he never forgot his wife. Even their wedding anniversary. In a way, it’s a similar yet sweet contrast from what his wife went through. While his wife died from loosing all of her memories, he kept on living and never forgot about her even when he couldn’t remember his own nurse. An interesting way to end this oneshot.
The demon, FBI agent, and me behind you: *Don't worry bro dying is a good thing they won't suffer with something like this ever again... here have a used tissue*
Me: expects to watch a funny manga with a clumsy and forgetful housewife Me after watching: I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled.
I'm seeing a lot of people interpreting this as him having remembered her all those years, but I have a different theory/way of seeing this. I assume that dementia did function typically, and he did fully forget everyone, including her. However, what he experienced there was a medical phenomenon dubbed 'terminal lucidity'. Basically, in some dementia patients, at the very end of their lives they experience this effect for a few hours to a few days before death. A prolonged moment of perfect recall before an empty bliss.
I mean, factually you can explain it like that. However, that would decrease the emotional aspect of the comic and I personally don't think the author would like to do so. That's just my opinion though.
My father has this… two days before he died… almost all his memories came back, and for two days before his passing.. he remembered everything… he was my dad again….
My grandma had Alzheimers and I have no memories of her before she was long gone, but my dad had to go through college watching her slowly fade away. It really is a fate worse than death, for both the person and their loved ones.
@@flymoolahman2763 True... With forgetting, its a double edged sword. On one hand, forgetting something/someone is sad, but forgetting a bad memory means you dont have anymore trauma. And in the end i can only imagine that its pure white bliss, a bliss too blissful to comprehend, to remember.
Plot twist: after that he woke up only to find himself in the middle of the night with his wife panicking and saying "hey, hiroki-kun,did you have another nightmare this time? Are you okay, I am worried about you 😥😨"
I thought this would be a simple silly manga about a wife who is forgetful, not a manga about a wife who is suffering from an ever worsening amnesia. Just imagine having fun and loving memories with a loved one and one day you are a complete stranger to them. That is a form of hell I wouldn't want.
I've never been scared of death. But dementia is on thing I fear. Slowly losing your sense of self. The people you love becoming strangers. Being trapped in your own mind, unable to understand the world around you. A fate worse than death.
It hits even harder than a liver punch after hearing the "Burning memory" you know. I would never know how painful it feels to loose a person you love while looking right in their eyes.
This was so heart-wrenching that I cried internally, and the man in the corner, the man in the closet, the monster under the bed, and my sleep paralysis demon broke into tears.
This brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it, and still manages to bring me on the verge of crying every other time I watch it. It's truly touching!
I saw this a long time ago forgot about it’s existence entirely saw on recommended kinda recognized it then watched the whole thing failed steps 1 and 2 immediately
This story is beautiful, I haven’t cried like this since 2017. Whoever made this truly knows how to make a person like me cry both happily and sadly. Thank you, my brother in Christ, for making this beautiful comic dub.
Though I’m happy for the MC for being such a great guy, there’s also to take in the fact he never moved on. He seemed content with his choice, but if it were me, I’m sure my partner would understand I can’t be alone with nobody around.
"Even if you forget about me Even if you forget about our wedding anniversary Even if you forget how to continue to living Even if...you forget about me. I will never forget. The day. You accepted me and love me back"

@@tarsis5933 Didn't you hear? This is an alternative timeline where the US never bothered the Entente when drafting the Traité de Versailles. Germany never had any reason to go to war. We all live in peace, the Soviet Union never collapsed which is why he's still here, the US isn't in a "cold' civil & Canada leads the world in aircraft technology so planes rarely brake down. And that concludes today's : What if the US never touched it episode!
I did that is why I won't watch the video then I read the comments and I was right I figured something more was wrong any manga readers know that manga can get really dark really fast now you see first hand
*The Most Effective Way To Remember Your Wife Birthday Is To Forget It Once* But can you remember it after *40 year after her death , this man surely can* . I salute him for that
:') i will never ever forget my so's birthday. And he knows mine by heart. My whole world revolves around him 💖 even when im old and cant remember my own name ill never forget anything ive learned about him.
At first, the wife is forgetful, the husband remembers well. At the end, actually, the wife remembered well, the husband was forgetful.... Time has given the husband ability to remember well but also has taken his wife's ability to remember. Such a cruel time and world they are living. Yet, the last thing the husband remembers is still about his wife
I love how much of the wife's personality we get to see at the end. He was willing to give him all kinds of crap, so it was really extraordinary that she didn't mock him when he got them lost on their first date.
"Your memories are precious to you. They define everything that you understand and believe. However, despite what most would want to believe, they are stored in the brain. When you reach a certain age, and your body begins to slowly rot like a ripe fruit, your memories will fade. It is a slow, painful process, and by the end..... ...even 100 years of your life will be gone in an instant. Such is the cruelty of time." -Eloch (oc)
Just try and tell me face to face you didn’t cry when he said “this would’ve been our 42 marriage anniversary” if you see this right now I just wanna say have a wonderful day/night or wherever you are and I barely remember writing this
I would have never thought a short story like this would be able to touch my heart so deeply, you can tell both of them greatly loved each other but couldn't get the end they desired 💔
Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true. You'll see it's all a show. Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you. And... Always look on the bright side of life. -monty python
Me: forgets about this video. RU-vid: Wow you're gonna make that repetitive joke, really? I can do that too, here I forgot that I already recommended this to you.
"this would be our 42nd marriage anniversay" He says this after a 40 year time skip She died on their second year of marriage I'm just gonna go under my sheets and cry a little
When a comic book artist wants to test their emotional skills on paper. This is a stretch but for those two people who may not know about this, there was an old Adam Sandler movie called 50 first dates where he meets a girl who forgets events that happen in the last 24 hours, so he had to make a scenario every single day as if he met her for the first time up to the point of them getting married, this however hit some heart strings because its a worsening condition so little by little her precious memories are fading away and it really hurt when you realize this poor woman dies without having a clue about her identity
yeah i remember that movie at one point her husband make daily video for her wife, in which every morning when his wife got confuse, she always saw that video again and again..... ...man damn this onion ninja TT.TT
Loss of memory is one of the most terrifying concepts there are, it's heartbreaking to see that he kept his promise all those years, remembering to go to the beach on their anniversary and remembering her long after everything else has faded from memory. I hope they can find peace together in some kind of afterlife
When he went to heaven there was a girl standing in fornt of him 'It looked as she was waiting for someone' when he got closer to her he saw a beautiful red haired girl looking at him and smiling.She asked him "Do you remember me ?"......
Lol, then she forgots that she tried to forgot about her alzheimers using her alzheimers and so she is now suffering form alzheimer again and the loop goes on
