This is a time loop manga. The protagonist (Ichijou) is given a second chance to go back to high school to evade the wrath of his best friend, who strangles him to death in adulthood. Reason for murder? Well, Ichijou is quite the womanizer while the best friend is still a virgin. So what must the he do to escape murder? To not lose his virginity, of course! This setting seems really stupid at first. However, as the story progresses, you will feel that there is something more, something deeper to the meaning behind why the protagonist was given a second chance. And you will ... (morbidly) enjoy the ride as Ichijou tries to escape his fate. You will see the Butterfly Effect in action. Even the smallest thing that Ichijou does differently on the second time around have great impact on his future. Most of the manga involves the typical teen romance and all-sunshine high school life. It's just that the threat of future murder is always looming behind in the protagonist's mind. But at the end, the story ties up neatly and you will understand the greater reason behind the time loop. The pivotal moment of the manga is in the last two chapters, so don't read them quickly like I did. I had to read them twice to understand the ending.

The character development is a bit weak, however. In my eyes, all the characters belong to certain moe or stock characters with exception of the main character: Blonde, outgoing girl and big breasted, black-haired, shy girl with glasses who already likes the main guy. The two main heroines of this work seemed like they were lifted straight from Strawberry 100%. It's probably an homage. Ichigo 100%, by the way, is the greatest high school romance/harem manga ever.
Anyways, but this weakness of characters is ok because the identity of this work is not pivotal on the character development. It is the plot that makes this manga shine.

Overall, this manga has a gripping, driving story that will nail you to your seats. I finished this in one sitting, leaving me wanting an epilogue. The overall 7 is because I am a pretty harsh critic. This manga is good.

Now before you start reading, when I decided to read this. I thought it would be another shitty harem wherein he it's easy for the mc but it was not. It was actually a thrill seeking experience with twists, turns, decisions and suspense. The art was ok but for a manga we focus on the story and characters.

The story is filled with mystery regarding the death of the protagonist, and now he goes into a time slip to save himself from the future of his best friend killing him and possibly change it. The last part kept me on the edge of my seat and ... I really enjoyed it.

The characters were developed really slowly. The protagonist was a scumbag but then you realize because of his mistakes he became like this and I like how he redeems himself but others. His best friend was a bit annoying for me but at least you could understand his motive for committing the crime. My favourite girl character was Yoshino because I really felt bad for her because of the fucking things that happened to her. She was only high school man! The other girl was ok for me although I liked it when she was with the best friend in the end.

In the end, this manga is definitely a must read if you are sick of the fucking shitty harems. I hope you will enjoy it when you read it!

Honestly, read this if you want to be dissapointed. The first few chapters of the manga are pretty damn good and it seems like the story will build up into something amazing. But as the story progresses, the quality just declines until nothing is left. Almost every chapter ends on a point where it's like - "Ho something big is about to happen" and in the next chapter it turns into some sort of bullshit. After writing all kind of stupidity, the mangaka decides - This is not enough. Need to add some other sort of shit in here. And thus the ultimate bullshit ending ... is produced. All the relationship, character development up to that point are thrown in the bin and Japanese love for blonde girls bloom. The ending is so bad, I regret reading the manga. The mangaka used all the permutation-combination and somehow ended with the most predictable and stupid end possible. When a mystery manga becomes predictable to this extent, you know it's no use reading it. All in all it was not a good manga. The art is great and so are the first few chapters but everything after that is just.... Dissapointing.
