Makoto
Konno, a girl attending high school in Tokyo's shitamachi, realises she
has the power to go back in time and re-do things, when she impossibly
avoids a fatal accident at a train crossing one day. Bewildered, she
consults with her aunt. At first, Makoto uses them extravagantly to
avoid being tardy and to get perfect grades on tests. However, things
begin to turn bad as she discovers how her actions can adversely affect
others. Makoto ends up using up more of her leaps to recklessly prevent
undesirable situations from happening, including a confession of love
from her friend Chiaki Mamiya. Eventually she discovers that she can
only leap through time a limited number of times. With only a few time
leaps left, she attempts to make things right for everyone, but
impulsively uses her final leap to prevent a phone call from Chiaki
asking if she knew about time-leap. As a result, she is unable to
prevent her friend Kōsuke Tsuda and his girlfriend from being killed in
the accident at the train crossing that Makoto was originally involved
in. Devastated, time suddenly stops.
