Summary:

Fujinuma Satoru (Mitsushima Shinnosuke) is a struggling manga author who receives one major criticism about his work: it lacks personality. From this perhaps one can already tell what kind of person Satoru is. He's a stiff sort, a bit awkward about expressing himself, and not too keen with getting involved with others. But Satoru occasionally experiences a strange phenomenon; right before a tragic accident or incident, Satoru would find himself sent backwards in time, and would relive that snippet of his life until he spots what causes the tragedy and averts it. This, and Satoru's better nature, prevents him from ignoring others in distress, but he is himself haunted by a harrowing event in his past. As a child, an adult he trusted was convicted of the kidnapping and murder of multiple children, including Satoru's then classmate Hinazuki Kayo (Yuuki Aoi). Through this hazy memory one thought gnaws at him to this day: couldn't he have done something about it?

Own opinion:

I promise myself not to read any source material but this mystery anime already caught my attention a long time ago. I was searching for mystery, sci-fi genre in mangafox and this was one of the featured manga. I really liked the sumarry so I've started reading it and I couldn't stop. So when I found out it will have an adaptation I was jumping for joy! I wanted many people to discover this great manga. Its not your typical mystery because it has more realistic issues that would be a little hard to adapt. Still, it would be great if you try to watch it.
