I FELL IN LOVE AFTER SCHOOL VOLUME 3

Feeling that the plot of The Magician Who Loved a Fake got a bit tangled with all the different story threads mixing together, Ashiyama has made a pretty interesting Fanbox post with a full timeline of the story's events - including some details that they themselves realize didn't really come across. Ashiyama's also expressed some disappointment that due to the strict length limits of a tankoubon release (going over a certain page number makes printing a lot more expensive), they were unable to extend the ending even though they wanted to.

Very extensive spoilers for Magician, obviously.

~1275: In France, the young "Forest Witch" and "Inquisitor" say their farewells.

Early 1300s: The Inquisitor writes the book that makes the reader release all their magical power (henceforth "the magician book"). Those who read the book eventually run out of magic and turn into regular humans. As a side-effect, however, they regress in years mentally, and a regular human temporarily awakens as a magician.

The Inquisitor's plan is to have the Forest Witch read the book and turn back into a regular human, but this ends up never coming to fruition.

1320s: The Inquisitor writes the "witch-killing books". These two books are a set of magic items designed to lock the reader in a loop and have them exhaust their Abandon Worms spell.

1331: The Inquisitor dies.

1486: Heinrich Kramer writes Malleus Maleficarum.

1500s: The Forest Witch obtains a copy of Malleus Maleficarum. At some point after, as the witch hunts grow more intense, she flees Europe and ends up in Gensokyo.

Decades ago: Rinnosuke meets the Forest Witch, and hears her stories.

Also decades ago: The Forest Witch reads the witch-killing books. This kills the witch.

June last year: A villager enters the Forest Witch's house, finding Malleus Maleficarum as well as "the magician book". Despite reading the book, he remains unable to use magic or fly or anything else, but gets the idea to print copies of the book to give to others instead.

August: The printing blocks for the magician book are completed. The printing blocks become magic items in themselves, with the will to self-replicate the information written on them. The magician books start to proliferate, creating magicians in the Human Village.

September: The Magician Incident begins. Marisa reads the book.

As he touches the printed books, Rinnosuke's ability only tells him that their purpose is "to be read by many people". From this, he draws the conclusion that they were created as an inquisitor's tool to lure out witches (he is wrong).

November: The printing blocks are destroyed. The copies of the book are all in Reimu's possession. A witch hunt breaks out in the Village. Marisa uses up the last of her energy and collapses. She returns home, and starts making medicine.

December: Rinnosuke closes up Kourindou. Reimu holes up in the Forest Witch's house and reads one of the magician books, starting to release her magic energy.

January: Marisa starts her training. The "final magician" starts showing up in the Village.

February: Byakuren teaches Marisa the technique to close her pressure points, giving her a way to use just a little energy.

3 March: Marisa fights the final magician in the Village.

(Translator's note: This day was a Koushin day in 2023.)

4 March: Marisa and Reimu are reunited in the Forest Witch's house. With the technique taught to her by Byakuren, Marisa closes Reimu's pressure points.

The following days: The Forest Witch is buried, the magician book rendered unreadable somehow and left as an offering in front of her grave. The other copies of the book are destroyed.

The "curse" of the Forest Witch and the Inquisitor is broken. The incident is resolved.

Taiyō Ayukawa as Hikaru Shizuno in Kare ga Boku ni Koishita Wake Season 2 (2021)

[gravity-knight]

I dunno the first season was a bit much but I kinda enjoyed it. Even Yusuke’s absurd facial expressions and overall over the top acting.

Now to make a season…with no Yusuke AND breaking the characters up AND still having Yusuke’s character be involved?

This is gonna be messy

[averinna]

It's a het romance btw

Hayama Kao yearns for an existence that would make people notice her. Even in her final year of middle school when she confessed to the boy she liked for three years, he couldn't even recall her name. Now in high school, she is working as a temporary manager of her school's boys volleyball club against her will. Kao's older brother, an alumnus, currently a teacher and the advisor of the club, placed the responsibility on her shoulders to recruit Kuze Nagisa for the volleyball club if she wanted to quit being the manager. Even though silently observing someone as dazzling as Kiryuu in the club is the only redeeming thing about being the manger, Kao's body aches. She is at her limit and wants to quit being the manager. But no matter how much effort she puts on recruiting Kuze she simply cannot convince him to join. Then one day, she notices something that took her breath away. It was bluer than the sky, even bluer than the sea; it was Kuze Nagisa practicing volleyball all on his own. The blue days start from here!
