Fourteen-year-old Takemichi is used to chaos. When you're the second son of two terrifyingly devoted men-one the powerful head of Vongola and the other an ex-arcobaleno-daily life means espresso traps, rooftop duels, and a mansion that self-destructs on schedule. So when he moves to Japan under a false name to live a quiet, normal life away from his family's influence, he doesn't expect much more than school, instant noodles, and maybe new friends.
What he doesn't expect is to save a man's life. Or that the man is Shinichiro Sano, older brother to the boy who will one day turn Tokyo upside down.
There are no time leaps this time.
Just intuition, slow-burn feelings, a tangle of dangerous loyalties... and the quiet strength of a boy trying to build something his, even as the world starts to follow.
Hanagaki Takemichi Is a time leaper.
And leaped through time time and time again to save his ex girlfriend and his friends. But again and again, he fails to save all of them and fails to save that one person that he had been harbouring feelings for.
Again
and again
And Again
And Again
Yet every time he fails to save him

"OI MANJIROU, JUST SAY IT ONCE! JUST SAY 'PLEASE HELP ME' DAMMIT!"
"And I'll definitely help you Manjioru"
"Please help me... Takemitchy."

And just like that, takemichi travels back in time again, but rather than 12 years, he came back to the very past, 2003, when he was 12 years old. The time before everything happened. Before Mikey had his dark impulsivity.
