Sometimes something sticks out, like a Chekhov’s gun, and you’re just waiting for it to make it’s way back into the story. Not all of the small details, obviously. But you can pick up some things on a single read through that you expect to come back into play… even if you have a horrible memory.
Yeah the goodies only shows when you read it a second time, especially when the manga is like bi-monthly or monthly, no one gonna remember something 10 chapters away which could be anything between 5 to 10 months.
I think those connections get made with multiple readings. No one is memorizing 400 pages and match small details to later events on a first read.

I agree that some connections may be made, but also that sometimes we expect there to be something later, and there isn’t. So, that goes both ways.
Maybe, but then I’ve got better things to do than reread or rewatch things…
