**Erased streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, and it's a gripping time-travel thriller that hooks you in its very first episode.

## Synopsis

Satoru Fujinuma is a twenty-nine-year-old manga artist going nowhere, burdened with a strange involuntary gift: moments before a nearby tragedy, he's flung a short way back in time and forced to prevent it. Then a catastrophe far closer to home frames him for a crime he didn't commit, and the power hurls him not minutes but eighteen years into the past, back into his own body as a schoolboy. There, in the weeks before a classmate quietly disappeared, Satoru realizes the crime that would one day ruin his adult life began here, and that the only way forward is to change what happened all those years ago.
