Jinsei Reset Button and HakoMari share an eerily similar premise with themes that go hand-in-hand. In addition to both being novels of a rare breed (i.e. they revolve around time loops), 'wishes' are a heavily important theme to both of these novels.
Jinsei Reset Button is very similar too HakoMari and the most similar novel I could find regarding the theme.
Similarities and Differencies:
- Both novels are about wishes and that humanity doesn't know what to wish for.
- In both novels the wish goes horribly wrong.
- Both novels have a mysterious person the grants wishes.
- In both novels time repeats itself. But in HakoMari its always the same day that repeats itself while in Jinsei Reset Button the person who wishes randomly goes back in time.
- In HakoMari they are searching for the culprit while in Jinsei Reset Button, the "culprit" is the narrator himself.
