I Was Stabbed from the Start, So I Returned to the Past to Protect Her

A sweet, high-school romance about being reborn.

When he graduated from high school, his campus-belle girlfriend cruelly abandoned him. At the same time, his parents died in a traffic accident. He completely fell apart, took out loans from loan sharks, and wandered from place to place.

He thought he would spend the rest of his life drifting through a daze, until his childhood friend called him out for a drink. Holding a weapon, he stabbed himself, the blade going in white and coming out red, while tears streamed down his face and he berated himself.

"Do you know how much my sister sacrificed for you?! She's liked you, you bastard, ever since elementary school."

"My sister must have been blind to investigate those loan sharks for your sake. In the end, she had an accident!!!"

At that moment, his eyes nearly burst with rage!

His heart was torn apart, and the pain was unbearable.

So all those things had been her silent sacrifices behind the scenes. I'm such a damn bastard!!!

He collapsed in a pool of blood. When he woke up again, he had returned to his senior year of high school.

Looking at the girl who had silently done so much for him, his nose tingled and tears streamed down his face.

He made a quiet promise to himself: This time, I'll be the one to protect you!
