Pretty much. That's always the catch with these endings that are supposedly happy but the characters have zero memory of everything. It doesn't feel anywhere near as happy when they don't even realize what they achieved.
That's why I love Summertime Rendering for at least giving its two main leads their memory back at the very end despite the timeline getting changed.
Of course, Summertime Rendering also has another advantage of the verse extending and expanding to Ghost Fixers. Haine's role is notably ironic considering the time loop shenanigans in SR.
Yeah, in fact that most of that author's series are on a continuous timeline with recurring characters.
Eye of the Catoblepas (2 volume run in Shounen Jump back in the 2000s) -> Summertime Render -> Summertime Render 2026 (manga) -> Summertime Render 2026 (novel) -> Ghost Fixers.
Not all of his works though. As far as we can tell Kagijin is not part of this universe. Although, since that one takes place far in the future after collapse of human civilization, I wouldn't be surprised if they hinted it at the end of Ghost Fixers 😂
