As a fan, I’d put it this way: “I follow the story of a typical teenager named Makoto who often hangs out with friends and wastes away her days. One fateful day, in a rush to meet my aunt, I almost get run over by a train, but at the last moment, I somehow leap back through time to dodge the disaster. This strange new power allows me to correct any small setbacks, from flunking exams to botching love confessions. But when I start meddling with time, I uncover a dark future that can’t be undone, and now I must navigate through every challenge to prevent this catastrophic destiny.
