damn I didnt even think about that
I, too, had the same thoughts that Dojin might've return to his world before the whole incident happened but I only had like pieces of the idea. however, when I read your comment, I kinda got the whole picture of how the story is flowing. thanks, kei-chan
I agree , but when dojin told him his name was Yellow dragon , and Yooshin told his grandmother as if he doesn’t know anything about it.. and After the accident he told yooshin that his niece will start kindergarten soon, and after dojin returned to the real world she’s already in kindergarten.. and the whole situation as if he never had the accident
your explanation, leads me to remember the anime Steins;Gate. By the way it’s a really really great anime
I had the same thought. Oh yes great anime.
Okay so I read the manga for the second time and this is what I understand so far, but I think I have a clearer picture of what is happening? But I may be wrong or thinking too much. Feel free to discuss!

The reason why Yooshin doesn't remember Dojin is because Dojin got sent back to before his accident happened? So technically, while Dojin is back in the 21st century, he's back before his accident happened. (So he's become the one who met Yooshin, but Yooshin doesn't remember because he hasn't met Dojin at that point in time yet)
The reason why Yooshin said he's met Dojin before was because they met in the 21st Century (the hints are in chapter 8 or 9, when there's this bit of Dojin remembering Yooshin in a button up shirt, that's him as the owner of the cafe).
So basically in this timeline, the accident is the centre point of everything. And there are two concurrent timelines running alongside each other, a timeline where Dojin never met Yooshin before the accident, and a timeline where Dojin met Yooshin before the accident AFTER he got sent to that imaginary kingdom. So that's why Yooshin remembers nothing BC it was his first time meeting Dojin (basically it's a role reversal thing at this point)
I think from this point on, it's up to Dojin and Yooshin both to save the kingdom? Because Rat told him it was just the beginning? And I doubt the authors would throw away the ancient kingdom plot so early into the story.
