Mahoro Haruta is a manga artist whose first series became a huge bestseller. Her publisher expects her sophomore effort to be even better. There’s just one problem: Mahoro has no idea what to draw next, because she plagiarized the story that skyrocketed her to stardom from a high school classmate named Yukishima, who shared a few precious months with Mahoro in the school’s manga club before passing away and leaving her his notebook. When, after a strange encounter, Mahoro wakes up ten years in the past—around the time of her first meeting with Yukishima—she realizes this could be her chance to redeem herself, erase her regrets, and maybe even save Yukishima’s life…

Manga artist Mahoro Haruta has always struggled with imposter syndrome, and for good reason. Her entire career is a lie; her hit, debut series is based on ideas left behind by her late friend Yukishima, who passed away when they were in high school. When Mahoro suddenly finds herself back in time, she realizes this is her chance to redeem herself and does all she can to help Yukishima fulfill his dream of making manga. With her knowledge from the future, Mahoro thinks she is making all the right choices—except Yukishima still abruptly passes away, this time earlier than he was supposed to. As Mahoro despairs that her attempt to help may have backfired, she finds herself back in time yet again—and Yukishima alive once more. Is she now stuck in a time loop? How can she possibly break it? What can she do now, when one wrong choice might just lead to another tragedy?
