【Includes secret identities and a little forum content. The original characters still get their moments to shine.】 Saving the world while working up a sweat in passionate sports. The protagonist struggles through thick and thin. Please read and add to your collection~ Fujiwara Kaku thought he was an ordinary person. He believed that right up until the System accidentally bound itself to him. System: “Someone who lived in a mansion as a child, went to Nekoma High, and knew all kinds of professional athletes after graduation somehow missed the plot of a shonen manga and lived such an ordinary life!” Fujiwara Kaku clenched his fists. “...If you bound yourself to the wrong person, fine, but don’t blame me for your mistake, okay?!” The guy calling itself the Shonen Manga Rewind System wanted him to compete against different people and collect energy to save a worldline that had gone off course. If he didn’t, he would die. At first, he didn’t take it seriously. Then the Shibuya Incident happened that very night, and he really did die. The good news: The System used energy to rewind time. The bad news: It took out a loan to rewind him back to age fifteen, and now he had only 24 hours to collect enough new energy to stay alive. Great. Before he could use the energy to save the world, he had to save his own dead body first. Fujiwara Kaku at first: He gritted his teeth and joined the volleyball club, squeezed in time to develop his Go skills, and also tried to keep up with archery, baseball, tennis, and so on. Staying alive was winning! After rewinding time many times, Fujiwara Kaku: “I’ll make those rotten old fossils pay! I’m going to use cheats!” Somewhere along the way, the boy found himself surrounded by friends and had grown into a radiant presence. He seemed aloof, but actually liked to joke around and act spoiled with his friends. He was loyal, quick to anger, but easy to appease. The System gloated: “That’s my fave!” (Not really.) Years later, the System asked, “Do you still think you’re an ordinary person?” Fujiwara Kaku replied, “Don’t worry about me. I have someone to save first.” After getting so many chances to relive his life, he ought to make up for a few regrets. Reader’s guide: 1. The protagonist isn’t perfect and can’t defeat everyone. The early story focuses on his growth; the later story is satisfying and powerful. 2. The sports mentioned in the blurb won’t necessarily all be ones he participates in. 3. All Go-related content inspired by Hikaru no Go is made up by the author, though some parts draw on real-life games. 4. There are no one-sided, mutual, or tangled romantic pairings. This is a self-indulgent story where the protagonist gets to be close with everyone. 5. One rewind won’t be enough to save everyone. Let Kaku find his own way forward! Theme: A believing heart is the greatest power.
