News [NEWS] "Re-Living My Life with a Boyfriend Who Doesn't Remember Me" is reportedly getting a TV anime adaptation

SOURCE (please keep in mind this is still a speculation, but also be aware that SugoiLITE is a very reliable leaker)

Summary: Magic school is a lot harder when you're trying not to die!

Life seemed perfect for Oriana after she started dating Vincent in the winter of her fifth year at the academy. Little did she know, her beloved would soon die under suspicious circumstances. Before she can process anything, she wakes up to find herself back in her seven-year-old body with no idea how she died. When she finally returns to the magic academy in hopes of reuniting with her boyfriend, she finds out Vincent has no memory of her! Now she's back at square one. Can Oriana navigate this second chance at life and change the course of Vincent's fate? Making her crush work out really is a matter of life and death!

Oriana, a seventeen-year-old magic student, suddenly dies alongside her boyfriend, Vincent. However, she returns from death in the body of her seven-year-old self with the memories of her past life intact–except for the knowledge of what killed her. She fantasizes for years about reuniting with her beloved, but when they finally meet, Vincent doesn’t remember her! Can she make Vincent fall in love with her again and avoid the death that started this mysterious time loop?

Paying the animators good money and giving proper time for them to make it faithful.

u/Responsible_Winter89 Mage Jan 17 '26

As much as i am happy this is getting an anime i am afraid they will stop after one season and never finish the story is this complete by the way ?

21

u/vanillac0re Divine Being Jan 17 '26

this series is popular enough in japan to prompt a 2nd season, especially if the 1st turns out to be successful. can't say much about the novel since i haven't read it though

u/Responsible_Winter89 Mage Jan 17 '26

I hope so and maybe it will get official English manga and novel.

u/vanillac0re Divine Being Jan 17 '26

there's a 4-5 months interval between official english volume releases. since the latest one was released sometime during december, the next one would be around april or may.

u/UrsaBearOso Spill the Tea Jan 17 '26

No shade on the animator for the anime adaptation but please PLEASE have someone (like the og mangaka) who has similar art styles. I still remember the field scene is ML's mind, looking at the path he's supposed to take and seeing a single flower blooming in his path, blocking him, the flower with FL's name. It's such a miniscule detail but the way they drew it in the manga and how they illustrated it is so poignant and memorable.

u/vanillac0re Divine Being Jan 17 '26

lmfao same bc when the endo and kobayashi anime ended up adapting the light novel art style instead of the manga i just didn't watch it altogether

u/DueMathematician7866 Usurper Jan 17 '26

Blonde ML? HIZZAH :D

u/scaralulu_ Jan 17 '26

u/violet_flowers_ Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26

I hope the animation team adores or at least are fans of the manga and the adaptation is 100/10 great 🙏🙏

u/UltramanOrigin Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26

Why is she surprised he had no memory of her? She went back in time to before they met no?

5

u/brittanybookworm Questionable Morals Jan 17 '26

The plot from what I remember is when they attended a ball, both of them were attacked and killed. The girl goes back into the past (a year?) Before they were killed but it's also before they became close friends/dating. It's about her trying to save her boyfriend from being killed and figuring out who did/will do it.

u/Cloverleaves825 Jan 20 '26

Also, at first she assumes that since they died together and she remembers everything he should remember everything too.

u/_gotta_go_ Jan 17 '26

ahhhhh we been waiting

u/Yuiregin Jan 17 '26

Lmao I just read this today. Anyone has any spoiler about the second couple? Because it's a freaking cliffhanger.

u/HoshiAndy Jan 17 '26

u/Clover_Zero Spill the Tea Jan 17 '26

LET'S GOOOO!!! I swear, there's been plenty of anime adaptation announcements of shoujo/josei and otome isekai/villainess recently. I'm so happy. Now fingers crossed the quality is good!!

Also, that reminds me, I should continue reading it lol.

u/DJSAKURA Jan 17 '26

Squeeeeeeee!

Sorry. I just love this one. So I am crazy excited.

1

u/mangagirl07 Jan 17 '26

On the one hand, I'm so happy!! On the other... why is the art so different from the beautiful manga 😭 I know even the manga is a adaptation of the novel, but the soft art is just too, too perfect!!!

1

u/Mai_loves_icecream Jan 17 '26

Yesss!! Hopefully the novel will also get adapted past the second volume in English. I’ve been stalking the author’s kindle page for years after they left me on a cliffhanger

u/strawberryoftheindie Jan 17 '26

Master Yearner Vincent now in anime form??? I’m READY

u/WolverineAny9981 Jan 17 '26

u/Sutaru Jan 17 '26

Omg, you’re kidding! I love this one 🤩

u/omegagasp Jan 18 '26

Oh my god this makes me unbelievably happy, I love this manga so much!! A few days ago I was actually wondering if it's ever gonna get animated, the coincidence is incredible, hahaha!

1

u/ForzaIngengnere Jan 18 '26

Man, I have mixed feelings considering how good the art for this one was

1

u/screamingdarkghoul If Evil, Why Hot? Jan 18 '26

Omg! Yes!!!!!!

u/lilwriterUwU If Evil, Why Hot? Jan 18 '26

Great so now I have to cry my eyes out twice

1

u/Jonathan_Jo Jan 18 '26

Personal review of the art: Manga is gorgeous, JP version of LN illustration is great, V1 of official EN is good, V2 is so bad.

I'm still so mad at this novel, not because it's bad but because V2 is just absolute boring compared to V1 by a huge margin.

1

u/deityofcats Feb 09 '26

i heavily agree!! v2 was disappointing in comparison

1

u/soysauceisthesecret Jan 18 '26

I need this. I'm gonna cry

u/Martins224 Jan 18 '26

Does this one have a second ML who MC gets close to while trying to get her original boyfriend back? I’m interested in checking this out, but I’m not interested in another story which just ends with “well we’ve changed because of regression/they end up with different people ”.. source readers, let me know

1

u/vanillac0re Divine Being Jan 19 '26

there's no second ML in this story

1

u/deityofcats Feb 09 '26

no it does not. there is only one character i could argue as a second ML but Miguel never romantically involves himself with the female MC, Oriana.

i read a spoiler saying hes aware of every reset they've experienced + is tied to both MC. so he's more of a wingman to both. (spoiler for ln vol 3)

1

u/karmamehaaa Jan 18 '26

I am hopeful, but I don't want to have too high of expectations. The art in the manga is to die for (I'm saving up to purchase the official books), and the manga and light novel story are both very good. Unfortunately, most of the animations for otome anime has been ATROCIOUS. I will hold judgement until we get a teaser...

1

u/therealstupidhappy Jan 18 '26

ahh i wish they'd keep the distinct art style tho

1

u/creepsandwich123 Reincarnation of Esther Nikodemus Jan 19 '26

Whoah, no way this LN is getting an anime adaption.

Still remember reading the first volume when it released haha

1

u/Lower_Excuse_8693 Jan 19 '26

Okay but can I also have the third light novel finally translated.

1

u/cokecathatesfish Guillotine-chan Jan 19 '26

I really do like FLs who love and are not afraid to show they are in love instead of the usual nonchalant ones. Bonus is Vincent loves her as much.
