▼Story

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

Makoto Hyakutake, an unremarkable police officer who ended his first life as a 'mob character.' In his hazy consciousness just before death, various regrets flooded him. His biggest regret was the death of his beloved girlfriend, Misaki, and his inability to save her after they had a fight. 'After all, she's the only one I love—if I could redo my life, I would definitely protect Misaki this time...!' His wish granted, 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.
