Description
I was 28 years old, single, and had a car accident that ended my short life…or so I thought. When I woke up, I was a high school student again. My only regret in my previous life was not confessing my love to my childhood friend, whom I thought was in love with me back then, so I confessed my love to her on the spur of the moment. I was rejected. I had no motivation to live my second life, so I made a promise to Mirai Natsuki, a girl who would commit su*cide in the near future. … After a while, the promised day came. I stood on the school’s roof with Natsuki, and after revealing our innermost feelings to each other, we climb over the rooftop railing together. ――We hold each other’s hands gently. After looking at the view before our feet, I look away from her face. I realize I am not qualified to wipe the tears from her cheeks, and I regret what I had promised her… Then I jumped off with Natsuki. This time, I thought I could finally end my life. But then, unexpected things happen――

First Impressions
Okay, that title is definitely a mouthful! Going in, I knew I was in for something heavy, and this novel certainly delivers on the drama. It's a story about second chances, regrets, and the complexities of human relationships, wrapped up in a time-looping narrative. It's the kind of story that grabs you from the start with its intense premise.
What Works Well
I found the protagonist's flaws to be one of the most compelling aspects of the story. He's not a hero; he's just a person trying to navigate a messed-up situation, and his imperfections make him relatable. I also appreciated the author's willingness to explore dark themes like bullying and su*cide without shying away from the uncomfortable realities. The ending, while not universally loved, felt satisfying to me, offering a sense of closure after a grueling journey. The author paints a picture of humanity that is very believable, even if it is dark at times.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story overall, I can see why some readers might find it frustrating. The protagonist's motivations can be confusing at times, and his decisions don't always make logical sense. The multiple time loops also contribute to a sense of repetition, which can feel tedious. Also, while the author's intent is not to glorify su*cide, some may find the theme to be triggering.
