Kaoru Touno heard a rumor: The laws of space and time mean nothing to the Urashima Tunnel. If you find it, walk through and you’ll find your heart’s desire on the other side…in exchange for years of your own life. On the night Kaoru just so happens to find himself standing in front of a tunnel that looks suspiciously like the one the rumor describes, he finds himself thinking of Karen, the sister he lost in an accident five years ago. To Kaoru’s surprise, he’s been followed by the new transfer student Anzu Hanashiro, who promises to help him experiment with the mysterious tunnel–but what does she want from Kaoru in exchange? And what will he have left to give, after the tunnel’s done with him?

Two years ago, high schooler Kanae left his small island community of Sodeshima to pursue his academic dreams in Tokyo. When that life falls short of his expectations, he runs away from home to return to Sodeshima to find his childhood friend, Akari. But before they can rekindle their old feelings for each other, the clock strikes six and Kanae finds himself inexplicably thrust forward four days into the future. Worse, he learns that Akito, Akari’s older brother—and Kanae’s childhood hero—is dead.

Except death might not be the end for Akito. As Kanae tries to fill in the four-day gap of his memories, Akari explains: he’s about to relive those four days in reverse order in a phenomenon known as “Rollback.” Kanae himself explained it to her…in a past he hasn’t yet experienced. Armed with this new knowledge, Kanae is determined to leverage Rollback however he can to save Akito’s life—and Akari’s heart.

Growing up in a dreary suburb, Sakuma has little to brighten his humdrum days aside from his best friend. The bright, talented, and attractive Ushio seems to have everything Sakuma lacks, and his academics and athletic prowess make him popular with the girls at school. Past trauma—and an understandable inferiority complex—slowly drive the two apart, and by the time they enter high school, they hardly even speak anymore. Thus, Sakuma finds himself alone.

Against all odds, he eventually gains a friend in Natsuki, the sweetest girl in class. The two hit it off gushing about their favorite novels, and he falls head over heels for her. But that very same night, he stumbles upon an unexpected sight while walking through a familiar park: his old friend Ushio, dressed in a full-blown schoolgirl’s uniform and sobbing uncontrollably.

"The loop won’t end until someone is killed."

A long-standing amusement park, Sunny Park, is the subject of an eerie urban legend: "The man-eating amusement park, where those who enter disappear one by one."

Despite the rumors, Ryuzaki Kashio visits Sunny Park with her high school friends, expecting nothing more than a fun day of rides and attractions. But as the day draws to a close without incident, one of her friends, Koneri Nana, suddenly leads her to a secluded area—where she stabs her with a knife. As Kashio lies dying, Nana pleads with her:

"Please… save Asebi-chan."

The next moment, Kashio wakes up—only to find that time has rewound to the morning of their arrival at Sunny Park. Overcome with confusion, she hesitantly relives the same day with her friends. This time, wary of Nana, Kashio keeps a close eye on her, but she shows no suspicious behavior. The day ends, the park closes, and as Kashio steps through the exit gate—

—she wakes up again, back at the morning of their arrival.

As Kashio struggles to comprehend what is happening, a mysterious high school girl appears before her. She introduces herself as Kodera Asebi and tells her the truth: She is trapped in a time loop, unable to leave Sunny Park. And the only way to break free… is to kill someone.
