'''''Unnamed Memory''''' is a Japanese [[light novel]] series by Kuji Furumiya. It originated from the novel posting website [[Shōsetsuka ni Narō]] in September 2012.

The series was published in six volumes, released from January 2019 to April 2021. A [[manga]] adaptation with illustrations by Naoki Koshimizu began serialization in ASCII Media Works' ''[[Dengeki Daioh]]'' magazine in September 2020. As of March 2026, it has been published in ten {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} volumes. An [[anime]] television series adaptation produced by [[ENGI]] aired from April to June 2024, with the second season aired from January to March 2025.
==Plot== Oscar, the crown prince of the powerful country of Falsas, is under a curse that prevents him from having descendants; the curse will kill any woman who bear his child. Climbing the tower where the Witch of The Azure Moon resides and completing her trial, Oscar wishes that his curse be lifted. The witch, Tinasha, confesses that it is almost impossible to break the curse, but provides an alternative—to take a woman with great magical power that the curse is unable to kill, as a wife. Oscar suggests Tinasha herself become his wife instead; she refuses, but agrees to accept Oscar's request to descend her tower and live in Falsas with him for a year.
