“Deixa eu me apresentar. O meu nome é Subaru Natsuki!” Isso foi uma invocação pra um outro muuundo?! O meu nome é Subaru Natsuki! Eu sou ignorante, inútil, incapaz e imprudente! Um estudante do ensino médio comum com essas quatro falhas, nascido no Japão contemporâneo! E fui chamado de repente pra um mundo fantástico desconhecido! Fui recepcionado por uma jovem e uma menina muito bonitas e vamos lá, vamos começar as minhas aventuras em outro mundo! Ou era o que eu achava, mas parece que não era tão simples assim. Eu perdi a memória? Está tendo exames na torre? Ei, as coisas começaram a ficar estranhas! “Pode ser que haja pessoas mais fortes ou mais inteligentes. Mas eu prefiro você, Subaru.” O vigésimo terceiro ato de perda e regeneração de uma história da web de sucesso – “Subaru Natsuki”, quem é você?
This arc is insane and I am VERY excited to see it get animated (in, like, 8 years).
[SPOILERS]
This volume hit HEAVY for me. When the last volume ended with Subaru losing his memories, I was curious how the story would continue on with that, but it turned out WAY DARKER than I expected.
With the first volume of arc 6 having Subaru trying to brutally murder his friends due to the miasma in the dunes, I was already losing my mind and HATING reading it all (in a good way) for how sad it made me.
But watching this current Subaru, who has no memory of ANYBODY, steeling himself to kill all of his friends and even strangling a CHILD to DEATH, I had to pause for a second before I could keep going.
The final declaration at the end of the volume that Subaru would save everybody was my favorite part, especially since knowing the author, the final few volumes will be MUCH happier and nicer after all the dark and messed up things I just had to experience.
Arc 6 is officially my favorite Re:Zero arc.

3 stars HMmm So while this book definetly has its faults I overall didn't mind it as much as I thought I would. Its a change of pace however one I hope doesn't last too long. I did like Subarus inner conflict and confusion with the loss of memories, it felt interesting to read about the seperation he makes between the og subaru and himself now. And made for an interesting narrative, due to him hardly caring for characters the reader has grown attached to. However I wasnt a huge fan of the Meili stuff, I felt more convoluted and there was already enough going on without Meili just joining subarus inner thoughts. Plus she doesn't feel like an important enough character for me, i would have preferred to see more interactions with the others. Especially Julius and Ram due to Subaru being the only one that remembered him and Rem. I am interested where this is going though, I've I've relatively unspoiled for how this goes so I am looking forward to seeing the end of this arc!
Ouso dizer que esse foi o melhor volume de ReZero até agora. Se não for o melhor, é com toda a certeza o mais agoniante. Foi difícil de ler isso, já que a história aqui tá sendo contada na perspectiva de alguém completamente perturbado (não conseguia imaginar como o autor conseguiria fazer o Subaru sofrer mais do que no arco 4, mas ele se superou aqui).
Os destaques aqui são facilmente toda a parte após o interlúdio da Meili, em especial o último capítulo do volume, que mostra mais uma vez a tamanha complexidade que é o personagem do Subaru.
A escrita foi absurda, com técnicas narrativas geniais, exatamente o que eu esperava do autor. Não gostei muito do volume anterior, mas nesse aqui várias coisas que me incomodaram fizeram sentido. Aquela sensação de segurança era totalmente falsa, afinal kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Tô muito curioso para os próximos volumes desse arco, porque esse talvez se torne o meu favorito. Que autor genial
Re:Zero is an excellent anime series, albeit highly trauma inducing with seemingly endless gore. If you finished the anime, the books are even better and don't miss a beat.
Regarding Volume 23 in particular, it was exciting to see a man struggle and change. I don't want to have any spoilers, but he has a lot of catching up to do. Part of the struggle are the expectations those around him put on him, but a lot has to do with his biggest enemy being himself. Confidence is something that has to be earned, and nothing can be taken for granted in this universe.
More than anything, this volume shows how far Suberu has come over the series, as his loss of memories in effect resets him back to how he was in volume one.
Things get a lot darker than they have been, which says something since this whole arc has been pretty dark.
The reader is left to flail along with Subaru - although we know the other characters that he doesn't, there is still so much that we don't know about the tower, and the things that are happening in it.
Crazy good, one of the most insane volumes yet, probably the best. I absolutely loved the mounting mystery and all the different interactions, so hard not to route for him even when he is going crazy. Great book.
Favorite book by far!! I would totally re-read. I loveddd the murder mystery aspect so much. And it was just kinda villain-y and creepy with the new Subaru.

a large part of what makes a story feel satisfying and addicting is constant progress toward a goal. you introduce new conflicts that prevent characters from reaching a goal, but, generally, you don't make them backslide more than a bit—it feels unsatisfying to a lot of people.
Subaru, with his memory lost, has all character development erased. everything we've ever seen him go through is set back to zero (hahaha.) effectively, Subaru is erased from the story. this isn't *the* Subaru—the one we've been following.
at the end of this volume, we're pretty much only back to where we were at the end of the previous. this entire volume just felt like running past the enemies in a souls-like so you can get back to the boss. granted, there were great moments and heavy emotions sprinkled throughout, but it largely just feels like we've made no progress at all.
I don't feel satisfaction at a well crafted volume, nor do I feel much excitement for the next volume. I just feel relieved that it's done.
Confession: Subaru is not my favorite character. Not by a long shot. There are a number of supporting characters I’d rather read about so the fact that this book was pretty much completely Subaru-centric was a minus for me. That said, I still enjoyed it (I would’ve just enjoyed it more if it wasn’t all about Subaru). It was weird and creepy and horrifying but kept me reading (even when I should’ve been going to sleep).
It was weird … it was beautiful… it was disgusting… it was confusing… so very confusing…
One of the weirdest books I’ve read in my life. I didn’t understand most of the parts. It was so realistic yet so unrealistic at the same time. Beautifully executed while still managing to be so disturbing. I finished it so fast. I don’t have any other words to say.
This volume was BS and I question its need to exist. Erasing Subaru's memory halts and reverses so much progress that it's maddening. I can't get behind it. There was basically no progress this volume. Rem has been asleep for more than half the series now. You can only drag things out so much. That being said the writing quality was as good as ever.
