A New Romance Manga Lights Up Akihabara With Digital Ads
From September 1 to 30, commuters passing through Tokyo Metro’s Akihabara Station will see bright digital ads promoting the series. Published by Kill Time Communication under the Shiny Comics label, this month-long splash signals strong momentum in Japan’s otaku hub 🚉. (Officially titled in romaji: 10-nen Mae ni Taimu Riipu shite Osananajimi no Ojōsama o Tasuketara Iinazuke ni Narimashita（10年前にタイムリープして幼馴染のお嬢様を助けたら許嫁になりました）.)
The Story Behind a Time Leap and a Fateful Childhood Promise
The story follows Shusuke Enami（榎並柊介）, an overworked office worker who collapses from exhaustion and wakes up ten years in the past—just before the accident that once took his childhood friend Hina Yomiya（夜宮日奈）. Determined to change fate, he saves her, and a surprising engagement follows. It’s a heart-tugging blend of regret, youth restored, and slow-burn romance 💫.
Fan Momentum That Crowned It #1 on Niconico Manga Rankings
The series topped the Niconico Manga monthly rankings in February 2025, driven by word of mouth for its emotional pacing and the chemistry between Shusuke and Hina. Readers praise how adult burnout and teen hope collide, giving the familiar time-leap setup a comforting yet exciting twist.
