Satoru Fujinuma is a struggling 29-year-old manga artist who possesses a strange, uncontrollable ability he calls "Revival." This phenomenon sends him back in time several minutes before a life-threatening incident occurs, allowing him to intervene and save lives. However, when his mother is murdered and he is framed for the crime, his ability triggers a massive shift, sending him back 18 years to 1988—the year his elementary school classmate, Kayo Hinazuki, went missing and was later found dead.*

Realizing that the serial kidnappings of his childhood are directly linked to his mother's future murder, Satoru—trapped in his 11-year-old body but retaining his adult mind—must work to prevent Kayo's disappearance. To save the people he loves and clear his name in the future, he must uncover the identity of the true predator hiding in plain sight and change the course of history before the clock runs out.
