A girl he was close to back then. Had they stayed close, perhaps they could have become childhood sweethearts.
Saino Nyuza harbors an intense longing for that kind of childhood-friend bond—yet he has no such person in his own life and lives a degenerate existence.
One day, he loses his life saving a young boy and girl from an oncoming truck... only to wake up back in the past as an elementary schooler!
Determined to secure his ideal childhood-friend relationship, he sets out to redo his life. With the help of "Osanana"—the god who granted him this power—he proceeds to drag his childhood friend and those around him into his orbit, saving them all with his own unique brand of creepiness... Just what is the ultimate childhood-friend dynamic he desires?
A supreme time-leap tale dedicated to indulging every selfish desire!!Comments: I’m gonna be honest, I saw the premise on the JNC forum - a guy who really wants a female childhood friend and then gets time leaped so he could make a childhood friend - and I thought “hey that’s kinda funny”. I know JNC may not get it just due to it being a romcom with potentially only one volume which hasn’t even released yet, but I’m pretty sure Yen Press and Seven Seas scout these forums too (given how so many of my suggestions have been taken by them) so… whoever wants it, I guess.
