Series by 福地翼

In a Japan where love confessions have taken an unprecedented twist, the "Ping Pong Confession Law" dictates that one must beat their crush in a game of ping pong to officially start dating. Enter Gaku Marunouchi, a returnee from abroad who finds himself up against this bizarre legal hurdle when he reunites with his childhood friend and sweetheart, Kako Tamano. The catch? Kako is Japan's number one ping pong player, and Gaku has never even held a paddle. Determined to keep his promise to confess his love, Gaku dives into the world of table tennis, facing both comedic and heartfelt challenges.

Saike Kuzushiro, a reserved and unmotivated middle school student, lives a mundane life with his supportive childhood friend, Mikan Karatachi. After witnessing Mikan’s tragic accident, Saike, overwhelmed by despair, drowns in Mogura Pond and awakens with the ability to rewind time to the start of the day. Determined to save Mikan, he repeatedly relives the same day, using his newfound power to alter events. He encounters other ability users, including Eiji Hizu, who becomes an ally, and faces challenges from those seeking to exploit his time-looping ability. Saike’s journey transforms him from a passive loner into someone striving to protect others and find purpose.
