I'm Here, Beside You

Ibuki Doi has never forgotten his first love from high school—Mikami Baba, the kind, handsome, and totally straight student council president. Though he was too shy to approach Mikami back then, Ibuki always held his idol near and dear to his heart, wishing him nothing but the best! However, when he learns Mikami is soon to be married to a man, he just can't help it—he's absolutely devastated. He drinks himself into a stupor to drown his sorrow but is surprised to wake up and find...he's back in high school?! Could this be Ibuki’s second chance to make things go his way?

It’s like a dream come true. Ever since Ibuki revealed to his crush, Baba, that he experienced a time leap, they’ve grown closer than ever. Not only does Baba believe him, but the two have even teamed up to stop the murder of Baba’s sister! Alas, life must be playing a cruel trick. When the fated day passes without incident, Ibuki realizes the timeline has changed. To make matters worse, Baba has started to keep his distance again! Has Ibuki lost his trust? Is Baba’s sister really safe? Anxious about the uncertain future, will Ibuki be able to protect this new life…or is history destined to repeat itself?
