| Introduction | ： | What would you do if a “memoirist” could erase your painful memories that you want to forget? A monster, “Memory Man”, who appears when you are sitting on a green bench in a park at dusk and erases the memories you want to forget–what would you do? Ryoichi, a college student, thought such a thing was just an urban legend. However, Kyoko, an upperclassman with whom Ryoichi has a secret crush and with whom he has been trying to overcome his nighttime street phobia, goes looking for the “Memory Man” and forgets Ryoichi as well as his trauma. Ryoichi wonders if it is possible, but when he learns of other people around him who have unnaturally lost their memories, he begins to search for the truth.

The shocking and sad ending will surely bring tears to your eyes. |
