Meet Sawatari Rei, heir to a corporate empire, whose most valuable inheritance isn't stock but his grandfather's pocket watch. Within it lies a curious power: the ability to rewind time by five minutes, an ability he can use infinitely, though mastering it proves tricky. While world-saving feats could be possible, Rei initially leverages this power for daily excitement—specifically, risk-free romantic reconnaissance. He confesses to one cute girl after another, then rewinds time to gauge their interest without consequence. But one ordinary school day ends in horror when a girl falls from the roof. Using his watch, Rei jumps back and discovers the victim, the shy but brilliant first-year Suzuki Miu, caught mid-confession with his best friend just moments before. Deeply impressed by the determination he lacks—confessing without a safety net—Rei impulsively decides to help Miu succeed in her next confession. This decision sparks a bizarre three-way dynamic, complicating Rei's own ongoing mission to confess to the girls on his list. For Sawatari Rei and his time-altering watch, this is only the beginning. [Based on Kickstarter]

Unbeknownst to his fellow classmates, Rei Sawatari has spent his years putting together a list of cute girls. One after another, he would confess to these girls to gauge their interest in him, before using the power of his pocket watch to turn back time. An ingenious strategy that is virtually free of risk. After school, on a day just like that... A girl falls to her death from the school rooftop. Panicked screams erupted, as her innards splattered on the pavement. Turning back time to see for himself what in the world happened, he frantically made his way up to the roof and threw open the door. He was greeted by a scene he never expected. Suzuki Miu, a first-year girl, was right in the middle of confessing her feelings to his best friend... as Rei waltzed in at the worst possible moment. Not only is Miu painfully shy, but luck never seems to be on her side. Naturally, it took her everything she had and more just to work up the courage to convey her feelings. In contrast, Rei is only able to confess his feelings with the help of his pocket watch — something he admits himself. Moved by the strange girl and her determination, he decides to do everything in his power to make her second confession succeed. That is how their bizarre three-way relationship came to be. Meanwhile, our protagonist has to somehow gather up the courage to confess his feelings to one of the other heroines. This is only the first page of Rei Sawatari's story.
