▼Story
I will never lose you again. Even if I have to defy fate.
Makoto Hyakutake, an uninspired police officer who ended his first life as a 'mob character.' In his hazy consciousness on the verge of death, various regrets flood him. His biggest regret is the death of his beloved girlfriend, Misaki, and his inability to save her after they parted ways in an argument. He realizes he only loves her—if he could restart his life, he would definitely protect Misaki this time! His wish is granted, and Makoto is reincarnated as his 10-years-younger self, who has just become a detective. Foreseeing future events, he utilizes his knowledge from the past decade and strives to protect Misaki this time.
