About

Guest and Hokuto have been married for five years, but recently their values have diverged, leading to a period of stagnation. They finally decided to divorce, yet neither could bring themselves to file the papers. Then, a few days later in the dead of winter, Guest died in a traffic accident. A few days after the funeral, Hokuto was driving on the Shuto Expressway. As he entered a tunnel... suddenly, the tunnel collapsed! When he next opened his eyes, it was hot, and cicadas were buzzing somewhere. Looking around, he realized he was at the very place where he and Guest first met. Somehow, he had traveled back in time. He has lost count of how many times he has leaped since then. Each time he travels back five years, he only has eight hours to act. During this time, the Hokuto of five years ago also exists; the future Hokuto and the present Hokuto cannot occupy the same space for long, hence the time limit. The time travel is triggered by entering a specific tunnel, and he returns to the present by passing through it again. Events from five years ago remain unchanged; no matter how many times he leaps, the same things happen. Only Hokuto retains his current appearance while existing in the past. Whether it's the 14th or 15th time, he isn't sure, but he has traveled back repeatedly to save Guest. Yet, she remains beyond his reach. Finally, a thought surfaced in Hokuto's mind: "I must choose a path where Guest and I never get married." He believed that was the only way she could survive. What will become of them now? An epic time-travel love story.
