Synopsis

Two years ago, high schooler Kanae left his small island community of Sodeshima to pursue his academic dreams in Tokyo. When that life falls short of his expectations, he runs away from home to return to Sodeshima and his childhood friend, Akari. But before they can rekindle their old feelings for each other, the clock strikes six and Kanae finds himself inexplicably thrust forward four days into the future. Worse, he learns that Akito, Akari's older brother—and Kanae's childhood hero—is dead.

Except death might not be the end for Akito. As Kanae tries to fill in the four-day gap of his memories, Akari explains: he's about to relive those four days in reverse order in a phenomenon known as "Rollback." Kanae himself explained it to her...in a past he hasn't yet experienced. Armed with this new knowledge, Kanae is determined to leverage Rollback however he can to save Akito's life—and Akari's heart.

It‘s a very clever piece. I‘d see it on eye level with Tunnel to Summer.

And the author does another amazing job at showing how fragile human relationships can be, how single events can flip any relationship upside down.

In terms of plot, it feels more consistent compared to TtS, something is just always going on, however, the climax comes near the very end, so if you decide to read, don‘t give up halfway if the ...

I picked up this book at the store on a whim solely because of the cover, as the colors of the cherry blossoms and the realistic feel of the scenery really stood out to me—and boy was it worth it.

Plot (8/10): While the plot isn't anything too crazy, I do believe that it is unique in its own way. I have read plenty of stories regarding time travel, but none included a phenomenon like the "rollback," so the story felt fresh. The ending of the story I thought was well done, the book does its fair amount of foreshadowing and so I kind of got ...

Well-written

If I had to use a term that describes why this is a must read, I would say it's "immersive".

If you like stories of struggle and difficulties, real characters that are humans and not just super intelligent or prepared for everything, relatable characters as well as supernatural elements that increase the beauty of the story, this is the right place for you.

This Light Novel is the second work of Hachimoku sensei. The plot is quite simple, but the story wrap up in a beautiful way.

Story (9): The story itself is nothing new. Time travel factor, a romantic hint and drama, but the environment as well ...
