Book Introduction
You lose your memory every day I had a love that I can never go back to The 26th Dengeki Novel Award 'Media Works Bunko Award' winner A sweet and heartbreaking love story between Maori Hino, a girl with anterograde amnesia who wakes up at night with her memories reset, and Toru Kamiya, an ordinary high school student living a dull life. This work, which won the 26th Dengeki Novel Award's 'Media Works Bunko Award' and received rave reviews for turning the familiar subject of anterograde amnesia into a high-quality youth novel, is also a novel that leaves behind an interesting backstory that drags the thrilling youth romance into a completely unpredictable situation, bringing all of the picky and strict judges to tears. “You don’t know me, but will you go out with me…?” Doru’s false confession, which he had no choice but to give, was met with, “Don’t really like me. Hino gave his permission on the condition that he could protect her. This relationship, a conditional one, between two people who are lovers but not necessarily lovers, can overcome the cruel reality of "every day losing memories"? What outcome awaits them at the end of their love? |

Into the book
“I can date you, but there are three conditions.”
I never dreamed that you would accept my confession.
In front of me, the girl raised her fingers one by one and presented the conditions for dating me.
I was so surprised I was speechless.
--- p.13
“Hino, why are you taking pictures?”
Hino was taking a picture of Wataya's back with his smartphone.
When I asked, Hino made a face like an elementary school student who got caught playing around.
“Kamiya, don’t say such nonsense.
“What sense does it make to take pictures of your boyfriend?”
Wataya, who says that, doesn't know that Hino and I are in a quasi-romantic relationship.
--- p.54
A strong wind blew and I opened my eyes.
The kid next to me was holding on to his long hair.
I tried to say something in that short time.
I realized that I couldn't fake a relationship.
“Can I like you?”
When I asked that, the wind had already died down.
I thought about this moment, which would end before I could even say anything.
okay.
I like it.
I felt it when I said it.
I love you… … .
Hino took his time and looked back at me.
“No,” the kid said.
--- pp.84~85
“My father said that.
It's much easier to be a kind person than to be a good person.
So, Kamiya, you are much better than the smart people that others say you are.
This may be rude to say, but I haven't become crooked despite all the hardships.
This is also what my father said, that people who have suffered usually become mean or have bad personalities.
But you are so affectionate.
A lot.
“Very, very much.”
Those words overlapped with what Hino said when we parted ways yesterday.
'As expected, you are a very kind person.'
--- p.117
So, let's fill Hino's diary with happy memories so that he can enjoy his daily life a little more tomorrow.
So that reading it can give tomorrow's Hinos a little courage.
To help ease some of your fears about the future.
Let's start a new and enjoyable daily life.
That would be hope.
Isn't that right, Hino?
--- p.128
I played one of the videos.
The date is Monday.
I heard my cheers and the video shook.
The sunset scenery passed by quickly.
As written in the diary, the two of them must have taken the picture while riding a bicycle.
My boyfriend, who was pedaling, looked back at the camera for a moment.
What did I say?
Even if you're not a party involved, you can still feel the joy.
It's a very simple and stupid video.
I watched that video over and over again.
A smile came to my face at the memories I had made, crooked and clumsy.
--- pp.152~153
Strangely enough, I felt a little uneasy seeing that person I didn't know.
Information that does not accumulate and something that may remain.
Emotions and mind.
Maybe I'm starting to like him.
ever so.
There's no way that's true.
No, but… … .
I stared at him while he was shopping, and he smiled awkwardly.
--- p.212
Everyone is like that.
There is no human being who does not want to be a good person.
My father and I ran away the whole time, but that didn't make us bad people.
It just lost its light.
Now that I have received light from Hino, I can know.
--- pp.244~245
It is a word that comes from the feeling of 'liking'.
It's not something that can be argued logically, like being there for someone.
When you like someone, you can later explain why in words, but that's far from the intuition of liking them.
Humans cannot say, 'I like something because it is like this or that.'
It is an emotion that is based on the senses and has no basis in reality.

Publisher's Review
Even if my head forgets you, my heart hasn't forgotten you.
One and only day in the world, one and only love in the world
A powerful thrill that explodes like a firework on top of a tightly built narrative!
Toru Kamiya, a second-year high school student living a dull life.
He sets out to help a friend who is being bullied and gets caught up in something unexpected.
“If you confess to Hino Maori from Class 1, I won’t bully you anymore.”
A false confession that had to be made out of necessity.
Although he expected to be rejected, Hino accepts the confession on three conditions.
“First, don’t talk to each other until school is over.
Second, keep contact as short as possible.
Third, don't really like me."
That's how the fake relationship started.
As time passes by together, Doru's feelings for Hino grow, and he breaks the third condition and confesses.
And then you learn a shocking truth… .
“I am sick.
It's called anterograde amnesia, and when you wake up at night you forget things.
“Everything that happened that day.”
Hino loses his memories every day, and the days go by as he builds new love.
How long will Doru be able to protect Hino's future? What is the dark shadow that shakes their relationship?
Winner of the 26th Dengeki Novel Award, "If This Love Disappeared from the World Tonight" is a high-quality youth novel that stands out for its bold composition, detailed psychological descriptions, and warm, lovable characters.
The story has such a powerful power that it makes you read it smoothly until the end even without any stimulating events, and it also shocks the reader with an unexpected twist as it rushes towards the ending.
The author's skill in boldly arranging shocking events, breaking away from the typical formula of youth novels and leaving a deep and lasting impression on readers, is so admirable that it's hard to believe it was written by a new writer.
“I don’t know how many times I shed tears.
“A truly wonderful work, with a freshness unlike any romance novel I’ve ever read.” “A truly beautiful and fresh novel, beyond reproach.” “I cried so much that my head hurt.
“This is a must-read.”
You will find yourself nodding in agreement with the enthusiastic response from Japanese readers who first read this book.
The scenery is so vivid that it feels like watching a movie,
Realistic characters that come to life and move vividly,
A portrait of a beautiful youth who is so lovely that it is almost heartbreaking.
Doru and Hino, who started a conditional relationship, meet after school every day to talk, and on weekends, they pack lunches and go to see cherry blossoms, deepening their feelings for each other.
The process of two people's immature feelings, still too fragile to be called love, gradually maturing through lyrical and beautiful scenery such as fluttering spring cherry blossoms, early summer bicycles, and midsummer fireworks is vividly depicted.
The hazy emotions of first love, the thrilling, tense, and thrilling emotions of a love that is just beginning, are perfectly conveyed through seasonal changes and refreshing images.
The two main characters, who have just begun a difficult love, are surrounded by various characters who, while embracing their own worries, look upon them with warm eyes and support them.
The novel is enriched by realistic and attractive characters such as Shimokawa, who was bullied for being slightly overweight; her father, who became weak after his mother passed away but still cannot give up on his dream of becoming a novelist; his older sister, who left home to pursue her own dream; and Izumi, who supports and helps Toru and Hino's love from the side.
Moreover, while this book centers on the love story of the two main characters, it also captures the wandering that youth goes through as a rite of passage, and how they find their own path and move forward in it.
The psychology of characters who waver, clash, and move forward is delicately woven together through skillful control of tempo: Toru, who has turned a blind eye to and buried the conflict within his family; Hino, who suffers from 'anterograde amnesia' acquired from an accident; Izumi, who has closed off her heart due to her parents' separation; and Shimokawa, who becomes a victim of unreasonable school violence but tries to protect her friends in the midst of it all.
As readers watch the growing pains they experience, they will be reminded of their own youth and find support for all young people who are earnestly overcoming the hardships they face for the first time in life.
