His life takes a shocking turn when he discovers his middle school first love, Hinata Tachibana, and her younger brother, Naoto, have been brutally murdered by the infamous Tokyo Manji Gang. Overwhelmed by grief, Takemichi is pushed onto a train track, only to find himself transported ten years into the past.

In the past, he warns a young Naoto about the future tragedy, inadvertently altering the present. Returning to his own time, Takemichi learns Naoto is now a detective and alive, having avoided his initial fate. Yet, Hinata's grim destiny remains unchanged; she is still murdered by the gang. Determined to rewrite history, Takemichi enlists the help of the detective Naoto.
