Synopsis: In high school, Maki Eiji was a delinquent, often skipping class and getting into fights. One girl, Chino Kotoha, was kind to him, until she was targeted by delinquents due to their apparent relationship. Suffering their attack seemed to have permanently changed her for the worse.

Years later, when Eiji sees her again, he is overcome with guilt and regret. To his surprise, a mysterious scantily-clad woman suddenly appears, claiming she can send him back in time to make everything right! He takes her up on the offer, but things are not as simple as they may have seemed back then. It turns out that Kotoha had her own painful secrets in those days, and Eiji may not be the only one traveling in time to change the past!

Side notes: The story setting isn't my most liked genre but it for some reason made me think about Kimi no Iru Machi that has same kind of feeling surrounding it. Both are mangas that I usually wouldn't pick up but still curiosity made me start reading them. Art is on good level, clean although not amazing yet... but the cover images are quite well made. The plot seems also have a twist and the well meant actions can turn out to be something different. Changing past... time change ... changing future... those are the things that this manga plays on and I wouldn't be too much surprised if the outcome would something like "dream"/ "Illusion"/ "game" type of answer. But it's better wait and see how it turns out to be... and enjoy the ride.^-^

P.S. I'm hounted by Alice in the Wonderland theme it seems, just look for the Chapter seven opening in the English scans.XDDD
