Takemichi Hanagaki was a shut-in Neet who had no job and was wasting away his life without being productive in any way. He had been at the peak of his life 12 years ago when he was in middle school. He had a lively group of friends who respected him. Also, he was a gang member who was feared back then. That was the best part of his life. However, his life changed immediately when he hit adulthood. Now he’s nothing but a struggling loser.
While the present Takemichi Hanagaki is wandering around, he gets to know about the death of his former girlfriend from middle school, Hinata Tachibana. He felt extremely saddened after getting to know the news and started remembering his past when he was still in middle school. While Takemichi is drowned in his thoughts, he’s pushed onto the rail tracks and a train runs over him. However, instead of dying, Takemichi finds himself 12 years in the past when he was at the highest point of his life.
