Synopsis
Takemichi Hanagaki is a aimless 26-year-old whose life crumbles upon learning his middle-school ex, Hinata Tachibana, was murdered by the notorious Tokyo Manji Gang. After he's mysteriously sent 12 years into the past, Takemichi resolves to infiltrate the delinquent underworld and climb its ranks to prevent her death. Each time he changes the past—through fragile alliances with gang members like Mikey, Draken, and Naoto—he returns to an altered present where new tragedies await. As he leaps repeatedly between timelines, Takemichi uncovers the painful roots of betrayal, ambition, and gang warfare. Ultimately, through countless sacrifices, confrontations with villains like Kisaki and Izana, and the revelation of Mikey’s tragic “dark impulse,” he reshapes fate—saving his loved ones and forging a peaceful future where he and Hinata can live together at last.
