Description
Kirishima Kaname, a middle-aged man who has returned from the other world of Dragalea, suddenly finds his childhood friend and girlfriend, Sendō Kaori being cuckolded by the handsome Yamazaki. Kaname, who has been through thick and thin, dreaming of a reunion with Kaori, despairs and erases all memories and reminders about her. Before going to the other world, Kaname was just an introvert, but his position changes when Hanayama, an outgoing person who wonders what he was doing while he was missing, gets involved. The false-smelling tale of adventure in another world was well received, and his classmates began to gather under Kaname, making him very popular. Among them was the school’s most beautiful girl, Kagetsu Yoshino, who was an unparalleled fan of otherworldly fantasy novels. Kaori, on the other hand, feels remorse and tries to apologize to Kaname, but Kaname treats her like a stalker for having erased his memories of her, and she becomes emotionally ill.

My Thoughts on When I Came Back From Another World, A Classmate Was Cuckolding My Childhood Friend And I Deleted My Memory Of Her
This title is a mouthful, and honestly, the story itself is quite a ride. It's a blend of isekai adventure, modern drama, and... well, some pretty messed-up situations. It's definitely not a novel for the faint of heart, and I went in expecting a train wreck, and I think I got exactly that.
First Impressions
The premise grabbed me right away: A guy returns from another world only to find his girlfriend with someone else and then deletes his memories of her? That's a recipe for drama, and this story certainly delivers on that front. The initial chapters set up the love triangle (or perhaps love... polygon?) and the MC's trauma, and I was curious to see where things would go.
What Works Well
I appreciate the author's attempt to weave together the isekai and modern-day elements. The MC's storytelling at school is an interesting way to reveal his past adventures, creating a unique narrative structure. Some found the interruptions during his storytelling engaging, giving the school scenes a sense of realism. While the execution may be flawed, the core idea of the plot is interesting.
Areas of Concern
Okay, here's where things get tricky. The plot is convoluted. Flashbacks are frequent and lengthy, disrupting the flow. The ex-girlfriend's character arc takes a sharp turn into unbelievable territory, with extreme reactions that feel forced. Many agree that her actions were a result of manipulation, others were scandalized by her choices. The story has also been accused of glorifying torture.

Final Verdict
When I Came Back From Another World... is a wild ride that ultimately derails. While the initial premise is intriguing, the execution is lacking, with a plot that becomes increasingly convoluted and characters whose actions often defy logic. If you're looking for a trashy, over-the-top drama, this might scratch that itch, but be prepared for a bumpy and potentially disturbing experience. I'm giving it a generous 2/5. Proceed with caution.
