I completed Erased last week.
It reminds me of Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Also, Kenya is basically a mini Aqua.
More thoughts:
It was so obvious that the teacher is the villain when the show telegraphed it so hard from the start. One thing I don’t really like is his flimsy motive for the murders, but that’s a minor thing for me.
I liked it a lot just like comparable shows, so 10 / 10.
> One thing I don’t really like is his flimsy motive for the murders This is something the manga goes into in a lot more detail, but I’m not sure having the villain’s whole backstory really improved anything tbh so I don’t mind it being cut.

I had to dredge around for a while before I realized which series this was (I have it filed in my brain under the more-wordy original title, “Boku dake ga Inai Machi”), and yeah, it’s pretty well-done for what it is. In retrospect, I kind of wonder if Tokyo Revengers doesn’t have a bit of this series in its DNA.
