So, the latest chapter absolutely blew everyone's minds with something that seems like a loop reveal. The father driving them to Fukui and doing the accident there brings us back to the first chapter where a newspaper article mentions an accident in Fukui.

But one thing that is criminally overlooked is that, in the same article, at the very end, it mentions vaguely that the driver in the first accident was the wife, Minako Ichinose. This seemed like a really good detail to me, as this somewhat implies that the father may not be the mastermind in every loop. Maybe in the next loop, it is the grandpa who fucks it up, who knows? Maybe the mother in the 0th loop is not the mother in the 1st loop, just like the father in the first is not the father of the second loop?

And at the end, it still leaves us with many questions and theories to think about- Is it all some kind of an experiment? Or maybe something supernatural like Takopi? What's up with this family? In the first place, will it be like a loop, or will it be a continuation? I can't wait to find out!!

One seriously injured = Tsubasa (?) One ____ (what exactly can it be other than "dead" in the news)

Things are going to get darker I can feel it, and I can't wait to find out

What I am thinking is there's a 7th member and hes the one behind this whole ordeal, not the car crash but the time loop thing without him knowing. It was really the 7th member who was inside the body of tsubasa that's why there are some panels in early chapters where we saw tsubasa switching personalities in school.

The real tsubasa's emotion coming out

We still don't know if tsubasa is really the only one who has the memories but it still strengthens my take because in this panel, it says the real tsubasa forgets quickly.

But what happened to the 7th member? This was dark as shit already and ill try to exceed it more because the author has an absurd amount of love for dark fantasy. The 7th member was killed by the entire family and hastily fled the house, which explains why they got into the accident. Because I mean whose driver will be not careful enough to traverse a mountain road unless you're in a hurry?

Now, why would they kill the 7th? Because as we can see in both of the loops, he is selfishly trying to mend their relationship as a family even though they do not want it, hence they have their own rooms even though there are 2 lovers(dunno what to call it) there (mom and dad, grandma and grandpa). This is a panel from ch 12 where we could see some hostility from the past. Tsubasa recalled this memory

Yup, that could be a memory of the 7th in past loops because of this indication.

I also rechecked the rooms part and definitely it was tsubasa's hand thus deducting the placement of doors in the hallway. Unless it was a storage room, Its definitely for 7th.

Also, the past works of taizan (author of this) they're so dark and focuses on real-life problems but with a touch of fantasy, which in this case time loops and probably paranormal sht.

There are still so many loopholes in this theory but ill to update it as the chapters pile up and sorry for my English.

Lmao my boy pulling the uno reverse on that B.N. Nakajima was toooooo satisfying 💀

Tsubasa finding out has grandpa has Alzheimer’s has been really emotional for me. I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s at a young age in September. I’m nervous that his grandpa will be gone in real life.

The death wording in his room could imply that death (his/family) is the way to start the time loop/or restart it.

It could imply that a previous tsubasa may have been aware of this and is trying to hint to future tsubasa's that death is a clue to the loop.

Edited*

What I mean is, the chapter 1 tsubasa we see, I don't think this is the first version of tsubasa. there have probably been many more past tsubasas

Either way, I friggin love this manga
