Unnamed Memory | comment |
In the world there are five, centuries-old witches with tremendous powers, who can bring such destruction that the current era has been named "the Age of Witches".The Witch of Silence one day inflicted the king of Farsas and his son Oscar with a curse that prevents them from having descendants, as any woman who tries to bear their child would die in the process. To save the royal lineage, Oscar, now a young man, goes to meet Tinasha, the Witch of the Azure Moon, who is said to grant one wish to anyone who would reach the top of her tower… which he does effortlessly.But when lifting the curse proves a near-impossible task even for the witch, Oscar gets another idea: ask Tinasha herself to become his wife, as she alone would be powerful enough to resist the curse. An idea Tinasha obviously rejects, so instead she forges a contract to become Oscar’s bodyguard and live in Farsas for a year. During that time, she hopes to find a way to break the Witch of Silence’s curse… while the smitten prince hopes to make his beautiful bodyguard fall for him. But their relationship and their actions will awaken dark forces and nebulous plots, and might very well change the course of history itself, as the secrets of Tinasha's dark past and Oscar's birth are unveiled.Unnamed Memory is a fantasy novel series written by Furumiya Kuji and illustrated by chibi. First published in 2008 on the author’s personal website, it was then released as a Web Serial Novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2012 before being rewritten and published by Dengeki Bunko as a six-volume series of Light Novels from 2019 to 2021 (divided in two "acts" of 3 volumes each), with a sequel series called Unnamed Memory: After the End starting in 2022. The English translation by Sarah Tangney is published by Yen Press.An anime adaptation by studio Engi covering the first three volumes premiered on 9 April 2024. | |

Anti-Magic | |
Unnamed Memory / int_18bf4326 | comment |
Anti-Magic: Akashia, the sword inherited through the royal bloodline of Farsas, is completely impervious to any magic spell and can cut through magic barriers and creations like butter. Wounds inflicted by it can’t be easily healed by magic either. It is noted, however, that it is normally ornamental and that very few kings have actually wielded it in combat like Oscar does. | |

Unrequited Love Switcheroo | |
Unnamed Memory / int_310f67d2 | comment |
Unrequited Love Switcheroo: Played in a very ironic way in volume 4. Since the circumstances of their meeting are very different this time around − Tinasha is a young woman who awakened from a 400-year-long slumber, as well as Tuldarr's former and future queen, while Oscar prioritizes his own country's politics − their dynamic is also reversed: Tinasha is now the one seeking Oscar's attention (because she still remembers his kind and loving self whom she met as a child) while he finds her an annoyance at best and a thorn in his side at worst. | |

Chekhov's Time Travel | |
Unnamed Memory / int_3c21649b | comment |
Chekhov's Time Travel: In volume 1, several hints seem to indicate that Valt comes from a different time and volume 2 tells a story passed down in Elze’s village about a swordsman who travelled back in time to save his mother from a sad fate; despite Tinasha explaining that time travel isn’t theoretically possible under the rules of magic. At the end of volume 3, Oscar is accidentally transported 400 years in the past and ends up altering history by stopping the horrible tragedy that turned Tinasha into a witch, thus erasing the original timeline entirely and himself with it. | |

Blessed with Suck: Oscar's curse is actually a powerful blessing which protects any child of the Farsas bloodline with incredibly potent magic. However, the magic is so potent it will overwhelm the body of normal women before a pregnancy can be brought to term. | |

Virgin Power | |
Unnamed Memory / int_3d1fbeb3 | comment |
Virgin Power: Spirit sorcerers are a rare kind of mage that can use spiritual magic and possess an extremely powerful mana… as long as they stay "pure". Once a spirit sorcerer has had sex, due to having mingled souls with their partner, their spiritual magic requires so much more mana that they effectively lose the ability to use it, which comes up with a couple of characters: In the very first arc, Fyra killed her boyfriend because she couldn’t stand the way he looked down on her after he had deprived her of her powers (or so she felt). Tinasha herself is also primarily a spirit sorcerer, which is part of the reason she's reluctant to accept Oscar’s proposals—though it's stated that, being a witch, her level of magical power and knowledge is so much higher than average that it would be more of a minor inconvenience than a career-ender as with Fyra. This is indeed what happens when she consummates with Oscar in volume 3: she just has to redesign her spells to be more efficient to account for her reduced power. | |

Spoiler Cover: The cover of the novel’s 3rd volume makes it no secret that Tianasha and Oscar are going to marry. Not at the beginning or the middle either, but in the second-to-last chapter of the volume. Of course, what makes the read interesting is how it gets there, not if. | |

Teleportation with Drawbacks | |
Unnamed Memory / int_44c55e9d | comment |
Teleportation with Drawbacks: Teleportation is a common way of transportation for royalty, which can be done in several fashions − via pre-set linked teleportation circles that can transport anyone who steps on them (one or several people depending on the circle's size), via portals created on the spot by a mage, or through instant self-teleportation. The one caveat is that all of those methods require the mage to have already visited the destination to get its "coordinates" (meaning you can't teleport somewhere you've never been) and the last method is extremely mana-costly for anyone who isn't a witch. Spells can also be put in place to ban teleportations in a certain area. Of course, Tinasha being a walking Story-Breaker Power, she uses it as casually as walking and can even ignore anti-teleportation spells, but the opponents she faces are usually either too big (the giant magic beast that can repel magic attacks) or too powerful (fellow witch Leonora) for that to really matter during fights. | |

Intergenerational Friendship | |
Unnamed Memory / int_47d35854 | comment |
Intergenerational Friendship: Witches being Really 700 Years Old sort of muddles the meaning of "generation", but even taking that into account Tinasha is the youngest witch (around 400 years old) while her best friend Lucrezia is the oldest (well over 1000 years old), and they met when the former was still just a teenager. Even in the present, Lucrezia shows way more maturity and social awareness than the sometimes clueless Tinasha, giving them a big/little sister vibe, if not a mother/daughter one. | |

All of the Other Reindeer | |
Unnamed Memory / int_4c8e8078 | comment |
All of the Other Reindeer: Pamyra, a spirit mage who came to Cuscull on Lanak’s invitation, is derided and looked down upon by the Cuscullians for being the daughter of spirit mages (who both lost their magic powers when conceiving her). This confuses and enrages her, as in her native village no one would ever think to treat an act of love as a bad thing. The fact that Tinasha instead genuinely rejoices that Pamyra’s village still exists instead of mocking her is part of why she swears Undying Loyalty to her. | |

Invincible Hero: Oscar is already strong enough to breeze through Tinasha’s trap-ridden tower at the start of the story and possesses a sword that nullifies magic, but on top of that his bodyguard protects him with a spell that repells nearly all physical attacks and trains him so that he becomes strong enough to kill a witch (i.e. her) if the need arises. By the end of volume 2, there’s isn’t a single human who would stand a chance against him in a duel. | |

Eating the Eye Candy: In volume 2, when Tinasha brings Oscar to a secret underwater cave for his birthday, she takes a good, long look at his shirtless body while he dries himself after swimming, all with a smile on her face. A significant moment, as for the first time she expresses desire for him. | |

Magic A Is Magic A | |
Unnamed Memory / int_6c3d1777 | comment |
Magic A Is Magic A: Magic is governed by its own set of rules, just like material objects are tied to physical laws. "Spell formulations" are described as similar to a lever you use to move a heavy rock, with would be much harder using only your physical strength, i.e. only your raw mana. They are subject to a long history of theoretical studies to understand and perfect them. Curses, which are shaped by intent, don't follow those rules but also can't be very powerful because of it. That's what makes the time-altering orbs so scary and mysterious: they can do something that shouldn't be possible under the rules of magic, no matter how powerful the mage is. | |

Pen-Pushing President: For all his incredible combat prowess, there’s a surprising amout of scenes of Oscar doing paperwork behind his desk while Tinasha helps him or serves him tea. It’s also meant to add a sense of daily mundanity to his life and relationship with the witch. | |

No Ontological Inertia: Averted, as it is shown several times that summoned entities don’t just go away when their summoner dies. In volume 2, a Kraken terrorizes the waters near a coastal town because a pirate hunted by Als died just as he was summoning the monster from the northern seas, which meant the creature would be stuck in the area as long as the (now underwater) summoning circle wasn’t destroyed. At the end of volume 3, the humongous mass of mana summoned by Lanak continues to inflate and spiral out of control even after his and his mages’ deaths, forcing the Young Tinasha to absorb all of it to prevent the destruction of Tuldarr. | |

The Ageless | |
Unnamed Memory / int_796fa10c | comment |
The Ageless: All witches have stopped aging at the time they became witches. Tinasha became one at the age of 13 and only aged up a couple times to heal near fatal injuries. It is later made clear that witches can resume their aging if they decide to, however. Which is what Tinasha opts to do when she marries Oscar, so that she can die of old age by his side. | |

Knight in Shining Armor: Oscar presents as this − a brave, powerful, righteous and hypercompetent heir to the throne respected by all his subjects. In private though, he’s also prone to leaving the castle on a whim to go on dangerous quests for fun, has the delicacy of a sledgehammer and tends to have a dubious idea of consent when interacting with Tinasha. | |

Interspecies Romance: One chapter in the first volume is focused on a water spirit whose human lover betrayed her centuries ago, leaving her in despair and causing her to steal Lazar’s soul after falling for him. Alas, Oscar has no choice but to slay her to save his friend, despite Lazar wishing to stay with her out of pity. Centuries-old witch Lucrezia is implied to have been in a relationship with Sen, an ancient millenia-old (albeit human-shaped) spirit, in the distant past. | |

Set Right What Once Went Wrong: When Oscar is accidentally sent back in time at the end of volume 3, he’s faced with a hard choice: save the young Tinasha from Lanak’s ritual 400 years in the past, or let it happen to preserve his present where he’s Happily Married with her. He chooses the fomer. Though by the end, he realizes that he never had such a choice to begin with − from the moment the time travel orb activated, history was already irrevocably altered and the timeline he knew was gone. | |

Time Abyss: It is mentioned that Leonora met Unay when she was already 400 years old, and that he has been following her for at least twice that amount of time, making her much, much older than Tinasha. As a result, she only feels a deep boredom and disinterest for a world that, in her eyes, has barely changed in a thousand years. | |

Awesome Moment of Crowning: Downplayed in the case of Oscar. By the time the story starts, he is already doing so much of his father’s job that he is king in all but name, so when he does become king at the start of volume 2, it’s treated as a natural step in his life rather than a culmination. Played straight in the case of Tinasha: when sublimating the Magic Lakes at the end of the Cuscull arc, she has to summon spirits as part of an ancient crowning ceremony, thus making her the Queen of Tuldarr that she was supposed to become in her youth. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: The whole reason Oscar is unwillingly sent to the past at the end of volume 3 is that, deep down, he had wished to be by Tinasha's side to help her "when she had suffered the most". Once that wish had been "granted" by the orb he had no choice but to finish the job and actually save the young Tianasha before she was sacrificed, leading to the erasure of his own timeline. | |

McGuffin: In the first act, the mysterious orb that Miralys tries to steal at the end of volume 1, as well as the one Tinasha finds by chance in volume 2, are scarcely mentioned mysterious objects whose function remains unknown. In the second act, however, they take a much more prominent role, with several factions trying to find them, and Tinasha trying to avoid that, knowing how dangerous they actually are. | |

Compressed Adaptation | |
Unnamed Memory / int_bdc94cd9 | comment |
Compressed Adaptation: The anime, while generally faithful, removes all elements and chapters that aren’t strictly necessary to the main plot, blending some of the exposition details into different scenes on occasions and greatly shortening action scenes. That includes skipping chapter 2, 3, and 5 of the first volume (chapters mostly focused on one-off story arcs) as well as large chunks of chapter 4. It helps to make the early plot kick into gear more quickly, but also means the two protagonists spend less time together and that a lot of lore details and foreshadowing elements are left behind. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
Unnamed Memory / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Superior and supreme magic creatures exist on a plane removed from the material world and usually never interact with humans… except for Travis, who finds them endlessly fascinating and will bring misery on those who pique his interest with no other motive than sheer curiosity. Leonora only cares about revelling in the absolute freedom she enjoys as a witch and entertaining herself to relieve her boredom. The consequences of her "games" are of little concern to her. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
Unnamed Memory / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Tinasha has kept on living this long only in the hope of finding Lanak so that she could free the souls of her fellow Tuldarrians but gets anxious as to why she even bothers to keep living once that goal is reached. Leonora, the Nameless Witch, who has lived long enough to call Tinasha a "little girl", is bored out of her mind to the point she’d rather sleep and dream most of the time, and even her pasttime of derailing the politics of entire countries doesn’t entertain her as much as it used to. Overall, immortality is mostly depicted as sad and melancholic. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
Unnamed Memory / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In volume 2, after singer-courtesan Clara and her accompanist are exposed as the culprits of the mysterious "deaths by song", Oscar convinces Tinasha to spare at least the former’s life (since she didn’t directly commit the murders), despite her warnings that it might be dangerous. Sure enough, in volume 3 Clara sneaks into the castle with the help of another witch to take revenge and manages to sting Oscar with a poison needle, which very nearly kills him. Both Oscar and Tinasha end up blaming themselves for the incident, the former for not heeding his bodyguard’s warnings and the latter for failing to protect him. At the end of volume 3, Oscar meeting the young Tinasha in the past and saving her from Lanak’s ritual causes no less than the erasure of his own timeline, including himself. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
Unnamed Memory / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Although Tinasha may not return Oscar’s romantic feelings (at first at least), she nonetheless takes being his protector very seriously and can get absolutely brutal if someone even dares to threaten his life. Of course, developing actual feelings later on only solidifies it. Unay, Leonora’s right-hand man, takes the "undying" part very literally, as he has been obeying his master of his own volition for close to a thousand years after she saved his life and helped him accomplish his vengeance, even agreeing to give up his human body in the process. | |

Prank Gone Too Far | |
Unnamed Memory / int_f392ffd9 | comment |
Prank Gone Too Far: Near the end of volume 1, after Oscar catches Tinasha "kissing" with Als from afar (they were actually just pretending), he tries to scare her as a punishment by using a magic-nullifying bracelet to make her powerless and lifts her up to put her in his bed in what very much looks like a rape attempt. While he didn’t mean to go further than that, the situation awakens Tinasha’s deep trauma, gives her a Thousand-Yard Stare and makes her mana go out of control, forcing Oscar to acknowledge that he went way overboard this time. | |

Beleaguered Assistant | |
Unnamed Memory / int_f792ffe4 | comment |
Beleaguered Assistant: Poor Lazar just can’t get a break with his master Oscar constantly putting himself in danger and often bringing him along for the ride (at least before Tinasha picked up that slack). | |

Running Gag | |
Unnamed Memory / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Oscar keeps asking for Tinasha’s hand in marriag at the most incongruous moments, partly because he’s serious and partly because he just likes to tease her. To push the gag further, he keeps doing it even after they’re already married, suggesting they should renew their vows once a year. | |

Team Pet: Nark, Tinasha’s size-shifting dragon, is a friendly little reptile who will often yawn and ride on Tinasha or Oscar’s shoulders… when he doesn’t grow to the size of a house, that is. | |

Alternate Self | |
Unnamed Memory / int_fceae121 | comment |
Alternate Self: The second half of the series follows different incarnations of Tinasha and Oscar after the original Oscar altered the timeline and prevented the destruction of Tuldarr 400 years ago. Their stories are still meant to link back to the originals’ stories, however. | |
