According to the series’ official synopsis, the Tokyo Manji Gang, a bad bunch, just killed his one and only girlfriend. His six years younger boss treats him like an idiot, and he lives in a run-down apartment with flimsy walls. Additionally, he is a total virgin.
When his life was at its lowest point, all of a sudden he time-traveled twelve years back to middle school! Takemichi, a failed side hustler, must rise to the top of Kanto’s most evil criminal group in order to save Hinata and change the life he spent running away.

The manga on which the anime is based is currently one of the most well-liked in Japan; it even took home the 44th Kodansha Manga Award for Sh nen.
