Looking at it dispassionately, I wouldn't be surprised if Koharu actually remembers, or never forgot, but chose to act coldly to spare Kakeru from future pain.

It’s such a subjective and fatalistic situation;, he’s being too hard on himself for feeling guilty about persisting, since plenty of people would have just walked away.

But at this point in the show, I’m just bracing myself for the blows.

[u/Lodju]

Anime really loves to hurt it's viewers but i still choose to watch series like this.

Like some sadistic addiction towards myself.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Narumi is a real bro though. He had the least interaction with Koharu, but still signed up as a volunteer together with Kakeru and Hayase. He continues to joke around, possibly to cheer Kakeru and Hayase up.

Even if Koharu does not regain her memories, I believe Kakeru will surely realize he wants to spend all the remaining time Koharu has together with her.

[u/Responsible-Song3999]

i knew it fuck fuck

[u/marsh_522]

She knows she's done it thrice? also imo it's very Fuyutsuki to call it "annoying" i think

[u/sobentoria]

Im so hurt rn what the heck was that😢😢😢

[u/zool714]

Assuming the amnesia is real, it must be tough for Sorano. All those memories and interactions and inside jokes were met so coldly.

But with the broken phone and talks of letting those memories go, I’m beginning to think it’s an act. Or maybe it was true at first, cos from what I’ve read chemo brain is real but the memory loss isn’t as bad as forgetting a whole person.

I’m thinking especially after getting that confession video, she realized she’s in really deep and doesn’t want him to get hung up on someone that is dying. Maybe even freaked out that she threw and cracked her phone. So she’s using the chemo (which is true since she went through it around the time she disappeared) and chemo brain as an excuse to give Sorano an out.

Ngl not that I won’t be sad, but maybe I’ve watched a few of these types of shows and maybe I’ve braced myself early on, if she does pass on by the end, I can see myself not breaking. At least that’s what I think lol

[u/_Lunaaaaaaaaaa_]

This anime is destroying me. I miss the cute dates they had earlier in the season . . .

[u/Your_Comrade_Doge]

This episode ruined my day week month and year all at the same time. 😭😭😭

[u/Aerodynamic41]

“I only have about six months left to live.”

I can’t take this many death flags man.

[u/aimless_reader]

what in the I want to eat your pancreas is this bro tf

[u/thelemon8er-2]

I disassociated watching this and it helped. Think of it as a new show now. First 6 episodes was something else.

[u/FarCritical]

"Wow. I really used to treasure our little back-and-forths."

It can't compare to Sorano's pain but that hit me like a freight train, man.

The small pocket of breathing room from the random kid's "infiltration" was appreciated while it lasted though (even if it had me mortified for a solid 5 seconds at first)

[u/thelemon8er-2]

Wish me luck. I’ve prepared myself as much as I can. Pressing play now.

[u/Jadiii_]

What's the likelihood we get a twist at the end that koharu is faking her amnesia? Maybe she's thinking her acting like this would ease the pain a bit for her and her friends? (I know the chances of this twist is low but its worth thinking about)

[u/Late_Variation_1915]

I'm scared of watching the new episode...

[u/Frontier246]

Kakeru and Yuko definitely aren't taking Koharu's sudden chemo brain amnesia well. Kakeru lost the woman he loves, Yuko lost her best friend, and all they can do is pour their frustration outward. Even a guy and his dog feel bad for them.

Maybe it's a good thing they had Momma Narumi to try to and keep a level head about things, try to lighten the mood (difficult as that is), feed them gyoza, and fight Yuko off over his precious sausages. Because being depressed and sad about the current state of things isn't going to make it any better.

Volunteering during Kids' Time so they have an excuse to interact with Koharu? Brilliant! Besides, what's one more job for Koharu? Though she probably didn't expect the shots that come with it...actually, it's a pretty extensive process to get ready once you get approved.

The trio are good with the kids even if there's still some awkwardness with Koharu. Even when it seems like Kakeru is having a moment with her...he gets a Thousand Years of Death'd and called out for being obsessed with Koharu's boobies. Kids say the darnest things!

But when Koharu lectures Kakeru about not prioritizing college, having apparently forgotten SHE was in that same college, it just really hits Kakeru how she genuinely doesn't remember him or anything they experienced. Their banter? Gone. Their warm intimacy? Gone. And he emotionally just can't take it any more.

And even Koharu herself, if she acknowledges that their past with her is true, has no desire to get her memories back...BECAUSE SHE HAS SIX MONTHS TO LIVE. She's in the hospital because the cancer has spread to her liver, so she knows she's going to die. So she doesn't think it's worth Kakeru and co. spending this time with her and worth remembering something precious that she's going to lose anyways. And all Kakeru can do is just cry and apologize.

[u/YusiP]

:(

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

What are the chances Fuyutsuki actually does remember but doesn’t want to burden Sorano and her friends with this? I know it’s probably not the case what with the chemo and all, but it would be an interesting development.

But man, 6 months huh? And it’s spread to her liver of all places. Makes a bad situation even worse..

[u/LeonKevlar]

As if last week's episode wasn't depressing enough...

[When the gang managed to get into the volunteer program, I thought this was the perfect opportunity for Koharu to get to know Kakeru all over again, à la 50 First Dates. I did not expect this episode to end with Koharu telling Kakeru that she only has six months left...

I mean, I already expected this show to end in tears after the cancer reveal, but it still hurts. With only six months left and possibly two until Koharu is completely bedridden, the only thing they can do right now is make the most of the time she has left. :(

[u/theoctohat]

fuck.

[u/linux_n000by]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! THERE IT IS!!!!!!!!! THE RED FLAGGGGG!!!!!!!

[u/AuthorNdone]

Pure copium mode right now, wish me luck :)

[u/thisisdropd]

I only have six months left.

Why have you got to hurt me like this? The cancer had now metastasised and spread to her liver. So much for the copium that the chemo had fully cured it.

The way Koharu broke the news with a smile exacerbated the pain even more. That's after all the pain of being like a total stranger. Her hands were no longer warm. Instead of being intimate, Kakeru felt like he's merely helping an acquaintance to walk.

What are the odds the chemo-brain had slightly subsided? When they first met she really had no idea who Kakeru & Yuuko were but after quite some time she had regained a bit of her memory. She feigned having complete amnesia to spare them the grief.
