Well hi there!

I know I haven't updated this blog in years, and same for the visual timeline. This is a post I've been wanting to do for a very long time but have struggled with finding the words for until now. It also will negate much of what I've shared in the past, which felt overwhelming. Oh well!

It's time for...

A Tale of Two Timelines: Part Deaux (?)

In one of my main posts about the SIH & JR timelines, I mentioned there were two theories on how the storylines intersect. As a refresher;

Theory A: The year of Ritsu falling in love is the same year Romantica met, moved in together, and celebrated Misaki's 19th birthday.

Theory B: The year of Ritsu falling in love is the same as Misaki's final year at University and entering the workforce.

After many countless hours and help from the incredible Timeline Squad, we were able to conclude Theory B is the correct timeline.

But it wasn't once.

Things kept bothering me. Like Junjou Terrorist and their very weird retcon pushing them into the future and freezing their ages/stories. Or the anime and how it's abundantly clear high schooler Misaki is on a train with an adult Ritsu going to work at Marukawa.

Why would Nakamura let this happen?

Because she changed the timeline.

Queue literal, real life years of me trying to determine when this change was made and maybe theorize why. I hit a roadblock and decided I wouldn't touch the timeline again until I figured it out. I think I have now.

When Nakamura created SIH she had it take place at the same time as the events in JR. And why wouldn't she? It makes sense to have your story and its sister story take place at the same time.

Then SIH took on a life of its own. She trapped herself in the narrative she created with those little boxes at the end of the chapters telling you how many days until Ritsu falls in love. Time would pass all the other couples and storylines, and Takaritsu would be a snail's pace through the year Romantica shared their first kiss.

Unless she changed when their story took place on the timeline. So she did. The change happened at least before or during 2016 or 2017 when the Hatori Yoshiyuki no Baai 2 novel was published. This is because that storyline is what confirms the Theory B timeline.

I've tried creating a Theory A/Original visual timeline like the Theory B/Current timeline several times. It doesn't work. The retcon for the Current timeline is intricate and baked into every single couple's story.

It's a relief to have a "final" answer, but it's still a lot to take in, isn't it?

To celebrate his birthday, please allow me share my favorite JRSIH Timeline Error: Usami Akihiko's Age

Short Version: This man had two errors in his age within canon. The first made him 28 years old when he was supposed to be 29 until Act 15, and 17 years old when he was supposed to be 19 in Junjou Mistake.

Fun Fact: As of JR Act 55, released in Emerald December 2021, he is 33 years old. 🥳❤

So it’s currently 3:04am and I was just thinking about the Jr/Sih timeline. It’s safe to assume that if we take into consideration that they use up to date phones in newer chapters, that they’re both set in present day. So 2021, or 2020 at the very least. Based off of that logic, Misaki and Usagi have been together four years, so they would’ve initially met in 2016/2017, (Misaki then being born in 1999 and Usagi 1989).

With that being said, to my knowledge, the first time we see the countdown to Ritsu confessing his love to Takano is ‘364 days’ which is of course just under a year. But it’s also safe to assume that currently in sekaiichi hatsukoi Misaki is also working part time Marukawa.

That point in mind, there is then a chance that Ritsu began working at Marukawa in 2019, or at least 2020 at the very latest.

I know this doesn’t mean much but it was just interesting to me to look at Jr/Sih from the perspective that they are set in the current year.

Sharing this! It’s spot on and emphasizes that years are irrelevant and you can move them around wherever! All that matters is how they correlate with each other. There are initial canon years and if anyone wants me to do a blurb/ramble on this topic let me know.

Speaking of years, if you keep up with the JRSIH Timeline Project the placeholder years are CHANGING for improved accuracy! The whole project is going through a complete overhaul to include more thorough details before release. Get hyped for 2022!
