Synopsis: That day, Akira lost everything: his friends, the boy he loved, his own life. But then, he wakes up in Ryuji’s arms, back to months before the end. At first, he believes he was sent back in time, but soon realizes things are even more complicated than they seem.
Little by little, Akira learns more about the “Akira” from that world—who was quite different from himself—while also trying to restore the bonds with his friends and find a way to prevent their deaths in the near future.
