> “Just let me be alone!” > > Love, friendship, and a glorious adolescence—that’s what Hodoka Nanamura hoped for when he entered high school. But by his final year, he had none of it. Then, on the eve of graduation, he sacrifices himself to save his classmate, Sora Hanamitsuji, from on oncoming truck, ending his life… Or so it should have. > > Instead, he and Hanamitsuji were both transported back in time to their first year of high school, just before the entrance ceremony. Though Nanamura resigned himself to reliving the same unremarkable, lonely high school years, Hanamitsuji swears that she’ll drag him out of his loner lifestyle! > > With a second chance at high school, Nanamura gets to experience the best (and worst) coming-of-age romcom of his life!

My Review

A similar kind of breath of fresh air as You and I Are Polar Opposites.

Going back in time three years didn’t turn Nanamura into a different person with max level rizz.

Obviously, things will go differently in a New Game+, but the plot twists don’t feel eye-rollingly forced. After 10 chapters, no one’s turned out to be a famous streamer or a wealthy heiress; they’re just slightly complicated.

The execution here stands out because it doesn’t depend on ridiculous gags to tell a good story.
