Description

They say that the flap of a butterflies wings one day can cause hurricanes years down the line. What nobody has ever said was that your dog swallowing somebody’s hair tie can leave you with a lifetime of potential agony. Or cause you to accidentally travel through time.

When Baji Keisuke’s girlfriend becomes increasingly suspicious of newcomer Takemichi and catches him in a peculiar exchange with his own girlfriend’s little brother, she literally leaps out of the bushes and lands on them. Waking up in a pig-sty of an apartment, she is faced by a man in his twenties professing to be Takemichi, him asserting that she was in 2017 and worse yet, let's slip that Baji had died back in 2005, only a month away in her own time.

With her friend’s fates on the line, Isshiki has to work with the boy she's always been at odds with in order to save the lives of her loved ones all while trying to navigate puberty, gang fights, a toxic home-life and her perpetually troublesome boyfriend - all while knowing what the future could hold if she made one wrong decision.

We Both Deserved Better
