No, but there are apparently clues, although they don't seem apparent until you reread certain passages. Kouichi knows that Reiko is an artist, so there's that clue since Ms. Mikami is the art teacher and the art club was restarted when she reappeared at school. Also, Reiko says there is a "fourth rule" at school and there is a reference to it in certain chapters. It's not until the end do you find out it's that they keep their home and school life separate. Another is that Kouichi talks to Ms. Mikami a little less formally, like knowing she was at school earlier that day he became one of the "nonexistent" and Mr. Kubodera mentions that it will be especially hard for Ms. Mikami to go along with this decision.
