Time travel mangas all start off on the same starting point, however, they all stray and deviate further and further from each other; in other words, they all have the same premise, but they add an original/unique twist onto the plot line and concept that gives them an identity and memorability. As for this manga, the premise alone is rather unique and interesting, which causes the manga’s developments and characters to be impactful and meaningful.
The characters are a hit-and-miss in this manga — on one hand, they are distinct, likable, and well-introduced, however, they are also pretty cliche and generic in personality. Despite this, their introductions and the mysterious components behind them compensate for the lackluster character originality and inconsistency.
Oh, the plot —as an overview, the plot is simplistic by the mc eventually saving a heroine is distress, however, there are so many components and depth to the plot points and events that the author can and has partaken in by introducing a multitude of characters and the butterfly effect, which makes the read quite enjoyable. There’s just something so charming about changing past actions influencing the present; there are also no non-expected developments in the story, but they are done in a well-written way that it doesn’t become an eye roll.
Although the manga isn’t that memorable from chapter to chapter waiting month to month, it leaves quite a strong impression through its characters and premise in its entirety.
