Synopsis
48-year-old mangaka Eiji time-travels 31 years to his teens, reconnecting with Meguru for a second youth.
At 48 years old, Eiji Sugurono has built a distinguished career as a mangaka, but lately he's been haunted by fragmented dreams of someone from his high school days - memories that seem just out of reach. After a sudden accident, Eiji inexplicably finds himself transported back to his teenage years, 31 years in the past. Now living his second youth, he reconnects with Meguru Tokisaka, a bright and spirited classmate who becomes an important part of his life. Armed with the wisdom of his adult years and a determination to make different choices this time around, Eiji navigates the complexities of teenage relationships while searching for meaning in this unexpected second chance at youth.
