Forget Me Not #7
それでも僕は君が好き(7): 週刊少年マガジン
Serizawa is a twentysomething working at a divorce attorney’s office. Walking home from work one day, he gets into an accident, and a woman carries him to an ambulance. Later, at the hospital, still bleary, he receives a phone call from the woman who saved his life. This person knows intimate details about him… but he’s not sure who it is. Serizawa’s gentle personality has drawn lots of girls to him since his childhood, but he’s far from perfect. Was it someone he loved and lost? Or perhaps someone he wronged, to whom he failed to make amends?

The big "mystery" of the series underwhelms, but this series did end in such a way that I felt the story went full circle, albeit a bit messily. I never quite liked Serizawa, and I felt his character went up and down depending on which girl/woman was in his life. (I liked him best when he was with Sam-soon.) The Nana-Nana arc of volumes 6 and 7 seemed unnecessary overall, personally, since it seemed to just waste time before a rushed ending. Not a great or memorable manga series, but the art was indeed very lovely.

Forget Me Not follows Yusuke through his past, broken and failed relationships. By the end of the series the characters felt very real and Yusuke seemed realistic as he isn't perfect, he makes mistakes and hurts people sometimes. Though the covers look like a cute romance manga and the art is gorgeous throughout, the story isn't cute and fluffy.

All I have to say is that I called it! I am glad our protagonist figured some things out.

There are so many women in this story, I honestly have no idea who is whom.

3,5🌟
El protagonista de esta historia es Serizawa, un joven que trabaja en una asesoría jurídica que un buen día se cruza con una mujer que dice conocerle, pero a la que él no logra identificar. Es en ese momento cuando decide hacer memoria y recordar los distintos amores que marcaron su adolescencia intentando descubrir quién es la misteriosa mujer.
Y este es el punto fuerte de la obra: el toque
psicológico que emana toda la historia y esa melancolía que provoca echar la
vista atrás. La narración así como, el dibujo, son perfectos para ello.
Aun así, no será una obra que recuerde con el paso del tiempo. Si bien es cierto que la narración y la idea general me han gustado mucho, creo que llega un punto en el que la historia entra en un bucle de siempre lo mismo y pierde interés.
OJO! Muy importante! Tras la sobrecubierta del último tomo, en la parte de atrás, podemos saber cómo responde a la llamada la chica destinada, ya que tras la cubierta del volumen encontramos su contestación a la llamada.

~3-3.5 Stars
I think the reason I wasn't a big fan of the ending at first was because I held so little regard for each relationship we followed. I knew they all ended badly, and I wanted to know who the girl was from the beginning. I didn't care too much for his relationship with Sam-Soon, in particular.
A large portion of this volume concludes the Nana's plot line, and I really don't care for it. Serizawa learns from it, I suppose, but it's also a mess. It's not a good situation in any form.
Then we finally discover who the girl was who started all of this. And I think it's fitting, who it turns out to be and how it turns out. It has an effect on Serizawa that he needs to get closure on certain parts of his life, and on his decision to finally make a decision and do something about it. He's spent so much time letting conflicts build and miscommunication fester and letting moments pass where he should have said something. It is good to see him finally grow past that.
I suppose it makes sense which girl he ends up with in the end, as they did seem to have the more meaningful relationship, for both of them. And looking back on it, after some time to think, I don't mind that. It fits.
This was a messy series, but I did enjoy it, for the most part.

The ending was really dissapointing and rushed. I liked the rest of the series just not this volume.

I’ll take it.
The Nana + Nana arc feels like utter filler, but it’s not quite a waste of time. While it certainly isn’t a novelty to see Serizawa implode, it forms the connective tissue that shows how the past ends up becoming the present in the narrative. Is it necessary? Maybe not, but it doesn’t exist in a vacuum either (for what it adds it may be a tad overlong though).
The mystery is finally revealed and the answer is exactly what you probably thought - it was always hiding in plain sight. What’s interesting is how that isn’t the endgame - the mystery spurs the growth that Serizawa desperately needed, but not for that relationship.
Some people will never mature and some take much longer. Serizawa’s maturation feels like it was way longer coming than it should have been, but at least he is on the path. It was nice to see some closure with his family too, which I didn’t even realize I wanted. He even cleans his damn room!
We don’t end on a definite note, but a hopeful one, and while there’s still lots of room for things to go wrong, I’m a sucker for second chances and 100% this was the road Serizawa should have taken. It beats the rote happy ending that implies a wedding means eternal happiness and it shows that sometimes your heart can be two steps ahead of your brain.
I think this series was actually very consistent over its run, but what it was putting out didn’t always go down smoothly. It is a thorough examination of a life lived and decisions made, mostly poorly, and all the fallout one can cause writ large. It’s not perfect but it was worth a read and certainly one of the more unique premises I’ve seen in manga.

The series had a hopeful start, but by the third or fourth volume it fell flat. Serizawa didn’t grow at all but stayed the same old stagnant non-hero he started out as. I didn’t mind his trials and mistakes, but in the end it seemed he learned relatively nothing. The art was beautiful and I loved looking at it, but the story was mid.

Usaré este para englobar toda la obra. Un buen manga que basa su fortaleza en el contar de manera sutil y solemne los hechos... Quizás merecía un mejor final y un mejor cierre a su protagonista. No obstante, tiene momentos muy reales y unos buenos giros de guión. Lo recomiendo. 7/10

Even though I still liked the graphics, the ending felt incomplete and rushed. I had higher hopes for the ending and it disappointed me.

Très déçue à partir de la deuxième moitié de la saga de part la tournure du scénario. Pareil pour ce dernier tome, pas à la hauteur du début de la saga, une fin qui ne m'a pas du tout séduite.

La historia engancha y el dibujo está genial, pero la resolución… Gñe.

cảm thấy trong những câu chuyện, hay những bộ phim, dù có nhiều sự lựa chọn thế nào thì quyết định cuối cùng nhân vật chính đưa ra cũng làm hài lòng/xoa dịu/yên lòng người đọc/người xem cả, cứ như thể đó làm đáp án đúng duy nhất, và chúng ta đều đồng ý với nhau như vậy, như đã có sự thống nhất từ trước. Chỉ có thể là “người ấy” mà thôi.
Nhưng trong thực tế, việc lựa chọn/quyết định lại khó khăn biết bao.. vì khi chọn một điều gì đó, nghĩa là đang bỏ đi những lựa chọn khác, dù bạn không định loại B, nhưng ngay lúc bạn chọn C thì nghĩa là bạn đã chọn không chọn B rồi.
mà, cũng có thể những rắc rối trên chỉ xảy đến với những ai không xác định được tình cảm của mình thôi, nhỉ. Vậy nên mới có chuyện thích nhiều người cùng lúc, dù là mình cũng không định lấy lý do đó để biện minh cho việc “bắt cá n tay” đâu.. nhưng mình nghĩ là mình hiểu được đấy..
có thể xem đây là một câu chuyện về sự trưởng thành và chín chắn của một người chăng..
liệu 10, 15 năm nữa có thể đưa ra quyết định một cách chắc chắn và rõ ràng như Serizawa không nhỉ..
mình ngưỡng mộ sự rõ ràng và dứt khoát đấy, có thể biết được bản thân muốn gì, thích ai, làm gì, đi đâu..

.....that ending is AWFUL! So much not leading up to it, too abrupt. But at least some things were answered and resolved... maybe I should get my hands on the original novel, where I hear it was written out better. Maybe just the manga adaptation isn't good, at least for the ending.
