A manga career built on borrowed ideas—and a chance to make things right

Mahoro Haruta’s success rests on a story taken from the notebook of Yukishima, her late high-school manga-club classmate. When she returns to the past, she tries to help him achieve his own manga ambitions, but his repeated death turns that effort into a time-loop dilemma. The setup connects creative credit and guilt with grief, friendship, and the limits of trying to change what has happened. The source describes the series as a blend of poignancy and comedy; this second volume continues a five-volume story about Mahoro’s attempts to return Yukishima’s work to him and find a way out of the loop.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in stories about creative ownership and artistic ambition
  • Readers drawn to time-loop premises involving grief and attempts to change the past
  • Those looking for a manga that combines comedy with serious themes

Book overview

A poignant and funny time-skip manga about grief, art, and love, like Orange meets Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, from the creator behind the Netflix miniseries Switched. Complete in five volumes.

Mahoro's high school manga club had two members: her and a classmate who passed away months after they met. Now, she's an award-winning pro, but what no one else knows is that she stole the ideas for her hit manga from the notebook her dead classmate left behind. When fate gives her an opportunity to redeem herself, she'll do whatever it takes to return Yukishima's story--and save him from dying.


Manga artist Mahoro Haruta has always struggled with imposter syndrome, and for good reason. Her entire career is a lie; her hit, debut series based on ideas left behind by her late friend Yukishima, who passed away when they were in high school. When Mahoro suddenly finds herself back in time, she realizes this is her chance to redeem herself and does all she can to help Yukishima fulfill his dream of making manga. With her knowledge from the future, Mahoro thinks she is making all the right choices--except Yukishima still abruptly passes away, this time earlier than he was supposed to. As Mahoro despairs that her attempt to help may have backfired, she finds herself back in time yet again--and Yukishima alive once more. Is she now stuck in a time loop? How can she possibly break it? What can she do now, when one wrong choice might just lead to another tragedy?
