One Week Family

One Week Family is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yatsuhashi, first serialized in the magazine Monthly Comic Alive. The narrative centers on a young protagonist who suffers from a unique condition where their memory resets every week, leading them to rely on meticulous journaling and the support of others to maintain a sense of continuity. The series belongs to a wave of contemporary manga exploring themes of isolation and the fragile nature of interpersonal bonds through a lens of psychological realism.

The character design and visual tone prioritize a clean, understated aesthetic that reflects the protagonist's quiet struggle to navigate their environment. Yatsuhashi opted for a delicate art style to emphasize the vulnerability of the characters, which resonated with readers who appreciate character-driven storytelling over high-octane action. Since its publication, it has been recognized for its poignant pacing and the creative way it integrates the concept of memory loss into a structured, episodic format.
