Erased

僕だけがいない街

Boku dake ga Inai Machi

In "Erased," Satoru Fujinuma, a 29-year-old part-time pizza deliverer, struggles to make ends meet after his dreams of becoming a mangaka failed to materialize. Despite his current state, Satoru harbors a unique ability that propels him back in time just prior to a potentially fatal situation. He refers to this power as "Revival," and it compels him to intervene and save those in danger. Satoru’s world turns grim when someone close to him is killed, and he is falsely accused of the crime. Driven by the need to clear his name and understand his circumstances, he is suddenly transported back 18 years to his elementary school days, right before the mysterious disappearance and death of his classmate, Kayo Hinazuki—a tragedy that has long shadowed him. Returning to his younger self, Satoru must now piece together the events leading up to Kayo's demise, aiming to prevent her tragic fate and uncover the identity of the killer. As he delves deeper, he wonders how Kayo's death is intertwined with the recent events in his adult life.
