Takemachi? That’s a typo. Let me present the final version properly:

Takemichi Hanagaki, Yuuki Shin, a 26-year-old freeter, learns that his middle school ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana Azumi Waki and her younger brother Naoto Tachibana Ryota Osaka have been killed by the Tokyo Manji Gang, also known as Toman. The news shakes him, and fate takes a sharper turn when a brutal push sends Takemichi crashing in front of a passing train, instantly propelling him back in time by twelve years to the year 2005. In this younger world, Takemichi encounters Naoto again and reveals the exact date of Hinata’s death. When the two men clasp hands, a strange jolt pulls Takemichi back to the present, creating a time paradox where Naoto survives and grows into a detective.

Naoto, now a perceptive investigator, pieces together a pattern: every time Takemichi and Naoto touch hands, Takemichi slips twelve years into the past. Armed with foreknowledge of the future, Takemichi resolves to change Hinata’s fate and protect those he cares about. He returns to the past and discovers that the Tokyo Manji Gang is drifting into a brewing conflict against a rival faction while a series of underground fights are being run by Kiyomasa, a ruthless enforcer within Toman. Takemichi’s determination to shield his friends earns him an unlikely ally in Mikey, the charismatic and powerful head of the gang, Manjiro ‘Mikey’ Sano Yuu Hayashi. The bond he forms with Mikey gradually reshapes the gang’s dynamics and sets in motion a new arrangement that protects his closest circle.

As the past unfolds, Takemichi learns that Mikey’s leadership has shadowed Draken, Ken Ryūgūji Tatsuhisa Suzuki—often called Doraken—whose fate is tied to Mikey’s temper and the gang’s future. Draken’s presence offers a stabilizing force, but the path ahead remains precarious. The timeline reveals that Pah-chin’s alliance with certain unsavory elements fractures from within when a violent incident causes a rift, and the pressure of power pushes Kiyomasa to act decisively, stabbing Draken in a clash that tests the gang’s loyalties and forces hard choices. The stakes escalate as Akkun’s choices, while not a direct focus in the timeline, echo the broader dangers facing Toman, underscoring that the gang’s rise is inseparable from fear, honor, and the cost of leadership.

The conflict peaks when Moebius, a rival faction, launches a brutal assault on Toman on August 3, 2005. The battle reveals sharp divisions within the ranks: Peh-yan aligns with the attackers in a moment of fury over Mikey and Draken letting Pah-chin be arrested, while Kiyomasa’s actions threaten to derail any chance at peace. The skirmish culminates with Toman prevailing, Takemichi managing to disable Kiyomasa’s advance, and Draken being brought to the hospital for care. Draken survives the onslaught, and Peh-yan offers a begrudging apology for his role in the turmoil. The tides of battle recede, but the timeline remains fragile, with Takemichi realizing that his mission hinges on restoring balance within the gang without erasing the friendships he has formed.

Returning to the present, Takemichi heads to Hinata’s house and finally reunites with Hinata, the person he is determined to save. The journey through time not only reshapes the course of Hinata’s life but also alters the future of those who stand closest to him, including Naoto, Mikey, and Draken. The tale ends on a note of cautious optimism as Takemichi looks toward a future where courage, loyalty, and a willingness to fight for what matters might finally bend the arc toward a happier ending for the people he loves.

In this story of time loops and teenage loyalties, the line between past and future blurs, revealing how one brave decision can ripple through two timelines—redefining friendships, reexamining power, and testing the true meaning of protection.
