Overview
Subaru Natsuki, an ordinary young man, is suddenly pulled into a fantasy world where he discovers he can rewind time by dying — a power called Return by Death that lets him retry doomed moments, but at a terrible personal cost.
What follows is a story about choices and their weight. Every reset teaches Subaru something new about the people around him — Emilia, Rem, Ram and others — while the dangers of this world, from the Witch’s cult to the rival royal candidates, keep raising the stakes.
