Synopsis

Ichijou Kazuya thought that he was murdered, but when he came to, he was back in his high school days. He lived his entire life as a playboy and had had countless sexual encounters with women until that fateful day that he was killed. He realizes that his murderer was his old high school friend Tanaka Masaki who was jealous of Kazuya’s relationships and his built up anger eventually exploded.

Taken back 15 years into his past, it seems that he has been given a second chance at life and given a chance to make different choices. He decides that the way to prevent his eventual demise is to make sure Masaki is more successful with girls and loses his virginity before Kazuya. But fate seems to be steering Kazuya towards the path of his previous life and keeps introducing the same girls he had sexual encounters with.

Erased but better.

Ore Ga Doutei wo sutetara shinu ken ni Tsuite is similar to Erased in both premise plot and execution. When the main character at 40 years of age dies to his old high school friend, he resets back to his high school days, where he tries to piece together exactly how he died and what lead up to it. While a lighthearted story near the beginning chapters the story defiantly starts to get deeper and breaks past the almost childish and simple but intriguing story that erased told, creating such a deeper narrative and characters. Exploring both the main characters future and present ... the story quickly changes from a story only about his friend, but about the main character, and 2 others.

The plot while simple and possibly cliché when first hearing it, is nothing but a vessel to develop characters, and create the narrative so that all the events could happen as they do. Truly a psychologically based manga, it takes a different approach from others. Instead of creating a psycho, sociopath, or some killer with deep rooted motivations, it brings possibly the most human, and realistically mature characters in the future, ones who have been through so much and see the world in a dark light, juxtaposed with their bright and cheerful interactions as high schoolers. Switching seamlessly between slice of life and seinin, the story’s concept while bringing almost nothing to the table sets up for some amazing characters.

The main character isn’t the best character I’ve seen by a long shot, but his past, or I should say future self, is so grim, so real, and the conversations so deep, that his few shortcomings are quickly forgiven with the creation of such a layered deep and mature character. Revealed in quite convenient chunks, the future character nonetheless and his interactions with his classmates, are full of solitude, unrest, and loneliness, as he wallows not only in guilt, past regrets, and a life that is exceedingly dull, but the struggles of living. The Female lead is also such a real and resounding character as often in these future “flashbacks” as she is the one who questions his methods, his morals, agreeing and disagreeing, bringing her unique lens, and also covered in a pit of solitude and guilt.

The story isn’t a murder mystery, and isn’t nearly as driven as Erased, flowing naturally, and smoothly never too slow, but at times quite fast. Time isn’t accentuated a lot in the manga(despite time travel a large part), more small simple interactions aimed to change the future at the forefront, so to fix cracks and repair relationships at the focus of attention. The mysteries at the beginning were quite dull, and the danger at times did feel quite plain, but the story did its job in keeping a semi-interesting plot and story. It gets better near the end but never gets amazing, the characters and backstories really the point of focus.

It’s a short read, the art is quite good, and all round good. Definitely worth the read.

Hooo... I'll be honest here, I came in without very high expectations, seeing as the title sounded quite ridiculous, I mean, really? Getting killed by your best friend because of losing your virginity before him? If that doesn't sound like a joke of a plot, then I ain't sure what does.

But boy, it turned out more serious than I expected. And, well, that was quite a pleasant surprise. It's especially interesting to see the effects of the Ichijou's actions in his attempt to escape his perceived future, and how it seems that the future is almost predetermined, even if small changes are made here and ...

Honestly, read this if you want to be dissapointed. The first few chapters of the manga are pretty damn good and it seems like the story will build up into something amazing. But as the story progresses, the quality just declines until nothing is left. Almost every chapter ends on a point where it's like - "Ho something big is about to happen" and in the next chapter it turns into some sort of bullshit. After writing all kind of stupidity, the mangaka decides - This is not enough. Need to add some other sort of shit in here. And thus the ultimate bullshit ending ...
