The plot centers around Takemichi Hanagaki, A 26-year-old guy who teleports 12 years into the past after allegedly being hit by a train. After unexpectedly returning back to the present, he discovers that he was saved by his ex-girlfriend’s brother, Naoto Tachibana. Together they strive to change the past in order to avoid the unnecessary deaths of his comrades and his then-girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana, who was killed by the Tokyo Manji Gang. Takemichi then takes an oath to save them all by returning to the past over and over again.
In 2020, the series’ manga received the 44th Kodansha Manga Award in the shonen category. Later, a live-action film adaptation was released in Japan, in July 2021.
