Makoto is a scatterbrained teenager whose life changes when she gains the power to leap through time, which she promptly wastes on karaoke retakes, perfect test scores, and dodging awkward moments. But every rewind ripples outward, and she slowly realizes that undoing her own small regrets can quietly hurt the people she cares about, especially as feelings among her close-knit trio of friends begin to shift. It's a bright coming-of-age story with a genuinely moving undertow.
