Can a forced "popular phase" truly be created if you restart your life with knowledge of the future?

What would you change if you were reincarnated into Showa 59 (1984) from nearly 40 years in the future?

This is a common story premise of restarting one's life, as seen in light novels, anime, and various other media.

In 2024, Yuma Kazama, a 51-year-old freelancer. His life had been a continuous struggle. Anxiety about AI taking his job, a failed marriage.

"If only I had made wiser choices back then..." This regret tormented him daily.

Late one night, Yuma was facing his computer. Chased by deadlines, he worked, relying on coffee and energy drinks. However, his utterly exhausted body reached its limit, and he fell asleep right there at his desk.

When he next awoke, incredibly, he was back in 1984, a 6th-grade elementary school student!

Armed with nearly 40 years of future knowledge and lessons learned from countless failures, Yuma makes a resolution.

"This time, I'll get all the women I want, rake in tons of money, dominate the era, and build my ideal life from scratch!"

It's 1985, the Famicom is sweeping Japan, and the shadows of a strong yen recession are creeping closer. Yuma has the history leading up to 2024 etched into his mind.

Now, a 12-year-old boy with the knowledge and experience of a 51-year-old faces his first crush and a bully.

How will he navigate club activities and the constant rejections he faced throughout elementary, middle, and high school?

Can knowledge from 40 years in the future truly create an unnaturally early "popular phase" for him?

Money, women, status, honor... Can he ride the wave of the bubble economy and truly become a success?

In an era without smartphones or the internet, a boy who knows the future takes on the challenge.

From Showa to Heisei, and then to Reiwa.

Drawing a new future for Japan—the curtain rises on a rebooted life.
