An overworked office drone suddenly dies and wakes up as Hachiman Hikigaya from My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected! He also gets bound to a “School Romance Fix-It System,” whose mission is to mend the original story's regrets and give everyone a happy ending. Fail, though, and he faces a hundredfold social death.
As a longtime fan of Oregairu who knows the story inside out, he understands how much damage Hachiman's self-destructive solutions cause: Yukino's aloofness, Yui's compromises, Hayama's hypocrisy, and the twisted bonds of those boys and girls. Armed with the System's reward, the [Eye of Truth], he takes the initiative and enters the Service Club on the top floor, determined to rewrite the fate of a “triangle destined to fall apart.”
But things are far more complicated than he imagined. Beneath the sharp-tongued ice queen Yukino's defenses lies a tender side; the cheerful, gentle Yui hides a resolve of her own; Iroha's schemes are mixed with genuine feelings; and even Totsuka Saika's dependence leaves him at a loss. He must avoid the original Hachiman's trap of loneliness, deal with the System's endless string of bizarre tasks, and protect the “genuine thing” everyone is searching for amid tangled relationships.
When a transmigrator's god's-eye view collides with the System's forced corrections, this awkward yet passionate tale of youth is sure to reach a different ending. This time, no one will have to suffer alone, and everyone's youth deserves to be treated with kindness.
