I can tell you that last month's chapter rocketed this from a series I really liked to my favorite ongoing series, and I am anxiously waiting for tomorrow for this month's chapter.

I love this series.

I can't quite tell if she was standing up to him or getting him to dish pillow technique secrets.

I really enjoy this series :) The art is great with good character design, too, and great dialogue.
It is sweet and funny, and yet despite being mainly a comedy their relationship and the stuff happening all feel realistic and natural :)

Retrograde amnesia is as real as anterograde, just a little less common. Also, the long-term retrograde is much less common than the retrograde that is near the trauma, if there's a trauma. Most of the time, people don't even think about very short-duration retrograde amnesia as being that, but it is. Ribot's Law (if my memory serves, curse you amnesia!) says that not only are the memories of the trauma the likeliest to go, but it drops off as you get further in time from the trauma. like it'd be likelier that you forgot the trauma and the day before than that you forgot the trauma and the week before. So three years is a less than one in a million event but certainly possible.

also, no idea what caused Arisa's r.a. but quite often it's temporarily graded and you do recover memories (ala Watashi no Taisetsu na Tomodachi) though not always (Blank).

^ Honestly, I don't think the author gave the medical conditions much thought, and used r.a. as a plot device to humorously explore the theme of romantic and sexual attraction being a result of inherent individual traits, rather than of shared experience (basically, the idea of destined soulmates). I do admit that it's fun to theorize, however. :-)

I wonder if her personality has changed since the accident?

She used to be the 'top' but we learned Arisa first kissed Mari when she was drunk - so maybe she was the same as she is now - she just needs to get over that first time, and then her natural enthusiasm will kick in and she will be taking the lead all the time again.

Not so much that she is a dominant sort - she might be quite shy - just she is very enthusiastic. OR maybe before the accident she WAS a lot more dominant and confident and less shy? I know brain damage can totally alter your personality.

It hasn't been spelled right out yet but it's been pretty clearly hinted that the differences between then and now is entirely a matter of experience. Most notably that she's now lacking three years worth of experience that she previously had. Not a difference of personality at all.

She's also forgetting stuff that she did before the three-year window. Like, seriously, how do you forget how to kiss?

BUT! That's needless nitpicking, and as I pointed out earlier in the thread, this is "comedy amnesia", not anything approaching real amnesia. So I just roll with all the fluffy happiness instead of trying to figure out exactly how her amnesia is supposed to work. Because that way lies madness.

If those last three years was her only experience at love, then her, forgetting how to kiss is sensible. I mean, we all don't learn how to unless we experience it, and this applies for everything.

Mari was her first girlfriend? Never kissed anybody before that? Never saw anybody being kissed before she kissed Mari? Never saw a movie with kissing in it before her amnesia?

Like I say, it defies rational analysis. Which is why I don't bother trying to rationally analyze it.
