▼Story

I will never lose you again. Even if I have to defy fate.

Makoto Momotake, a lackluster police officer, ends his first life as a "mob character." As he lies dying, his consciousness fading, he is overcome with regrets. His greatest regret is the death of his beloved Misaki, and the fact that he couldn't save her after they parted ways following a fight. If only he could redo his life, he would protect her no matter what! His wish is granted, and Makoto is reincarnated back to his 10-year-younger self, just as he became a detective. Armed with the knowledge of the next decade, he fights to change the future and protect Misaki once and for all.
