Plot
The story is set in Sakurada, a town where everyone possesses special abilities. The protagonist is Kei Asai, a boy with eidetic memory. Upon Sumire Soma's urging, Kei meets Misora Haruki, a quiet, withdrawn girl who can reset the world up to three days in the past. Thanks to his ability, Kei can remember the time Misora has reset, and thus Sumire suggests that Kei becomes the companion of Haruki to help her use her abilities for good leading to them becoming part of the Service Club - a club that accomplishes tasks given to them. The Service Club then becomes involved with the Administration Bureau, an organization that monitors all special abilities in Sakurada and orchestrates events in Sakurada according to their directives, utilizing the 'Witch' at their disposal. Unknown to the Service Club, their involvement with the Bureau puts them into a larger chain of events that only the Witch knows.
Characters
- Kei Asai (浅井 ケイ Asai Kei)
- Voiced by: Kaito Ishikawa[2]
- Portrayed by: Shūhei Nomura[1]
- One of the main characters. His ability is photographic memory; ever since entering Sakurada, he cannot forget anything down to the minute details, even if Haruki uses her Reset ability. He's a cunning character that can understand situations quickly and take full advantage of everything at his disposal to resolve the situation at hand.
- Misora Haruki (春埼 美空 Haruki Misora)
- Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[2]
- Portrayed by: Yuina Kuroshima[1]
- One of the main characters. She possesses the ability to 'reset' the entire world, for a maximum of three days. To do this, she must first 'save' at a specific time, after which, when she uses her Reset, the world will return to the saved time. A Reset can be done once per Save, and after a Reset, a Save can only be done 24 hours later. Her ability is not going back in time, but a literal reset; everything is reverted to its original state when the save was made. As a result, her own memories of the time between a Save and a Reset are also gone. This made her ability useless because she herself have no idea what she wants to change before committing a Reset, and everything will just repeat what happened before. The only person who can remember the events before the Reset is Kei. After meeting Kei, Haruki decided a new rule to herself for using her ability: she will completely trust Kei and only use her Reset when Kei orders her.
- Sumire Sōma (相麻 菫 Sōma Sumire)
- Voiced by: Aoi Yūki[2]
- Portrayed by: Yuna Taira[1]
- A female classmate who was a victim during a Reset. It is hinted that her ability is to see the future.
- Tomoki Nakano (中野 智樹 Nakano Tomoki)
- Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi[3]
- Portrayed by: Kentarō[1]
- A rock and roll singer who plays guitar and Kei's close friend. His ability is to send a voice he heard to a specific person, unbound by time and space and arriving exactly at the date and time intended. This ability transcends a Reset phenomena, so even if a Reset is performed, the message would still be sent to the recipient at the specified time and date.
- Yōka Murase (村瀬 陽香 Murase Yōka)
- Voiced by: Yui Makino[3]
- Portrayed by: Tina Tamashiro[1]
- A young woman with the ability to apply an 'erase' capability to anything. The requirement is she must first state the target of the ability, the object/phenomena to be 'erased', and make physical contact with the target. For example, stating the target to be her hands and the object to be erased as a wall would apply the ability to her hands and enable her to erase a part of a wall with it. Her brother was a member of the Administration Bureau and is now deceased due to unmentioned circumstances, leading Yoka to swear revenge on the Administration Bureau for being involved in the events regarding her brother's death.
- Eri Oka (岡 絵里 Oka Eri)
- Voiced by: Yūka Aisaka
- Portrayed by: Yuri Tsunematsu[1]
- Kei and Misora's junior in their high school. Her ability is memory manipulation via eye contact; if she maintains eye contact with a person for 5 seconds, she can change the person's memories - inserting or deleting memories that she wants, thus making her able to 'seal' other people's abilities as she can make them forget how to use their abilities. Originally, she was known as Eri Fujikawa, but after meeting Kei, who helped her escape from her abusive father, she took her mother's maiden name. She changed herself after the event, proclaiming that she wants to be more powerful and capable than Kei leading to her being hostile against Kei.
- Seika Nono (野ノ尾 盛夏 Nono Seika)
- Voiced by: Sachika Misawa[3]
- A girl with the ability to gain information from the cats of Sakurada whenever she is asleep. As long as the cat is awake, then she can access its senses and access the cat's memories.
- Masamune Urachi (浦地 正宗 Urachi Masamune)
- Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai[4]
- The Sakurada City Administration Bureau task force's leader.
- Sasane Ukawa (宇川 沙々音 Ukawa Sasane)
- An Administration Bureau member with the power to change objects.
- Yōsuke Sakagami (坂上 央介 Sakagami Yōsuke)
- Voiced by: Yūichi Iguchi
- Kei's upperclassman with the power to copy abilities, however he needs to be in proximity with the target to use his ability. Furthermore, his Copy ability can be used to transfer someone's abilities to another person with him acting as the 'bridge' between the 2 people. For example, he can initiate a Copy on Kei and 'transfer' it to Haruki while he's in proximity with both of them. However, the copied abilities would be gone as soon as he's out of proximity of his targets.
- Mirai Minami (皆実 未来 Minami Mirai)
- Voiced by: Yuki Yamada[3]
- Kei and Haruki's classmate who survived an accident thanks to a Reset. She's interested in supernatural phenomena, thus she became happy when she found out that her ability is to turn into a "Ghost" for a period of time although the rules regarding her ability are undefined.
- Shintarō Tsushima (津島 信太郎 Tsushima Shintarō)
- Voiced by: Yōji Ueda
- An Administration Bureau member and a school teacher at Ashiharabashi High School, which both Kei, Haruki and their friends attend. He serves as the middle man between the Bureau and the Service Club, giving out tasks by the Bureau to the Service Club and only providing some hints to Kei to help solve the tasks.
- Kagaya (加賀屋 Kagaya)
- Voiced by: Shigeo Kiyama[5]
- An Administration Bureau member whose ability is to lock up anything using his right hand. For an example, a door which has been locked by him, can only be unlocked using his left hand; or a book locked by him can not be opened, nor even been "touched" by anyone else. It's even protected against Haruki "reset" ability. His ability is used by the Bureau to confine people or to protect things.
- Sakuin (索引 Sakuin)
- Another member of the Administration Bureau who can ferret out any lie.
- Hitsūchikun (非通知くん Hitsūchikun)
- Voiced by: Kōtarō Nishiyama
- A weak, sickly boy who has mysophobia, so he can't eat any food. Although to compensate for his disease, his ability allows him to convert 'information' into nutrient which allows him to survive. He can accidentally kill people if his ability drains a target's information beyond their limit. To keep this ability in check, the Administration Bureau arranged for him a set up so he can work as informant, and collect information in way that is safer for other human. When called, he will fake a destination number not found announcement and have to be called continuously until he finally answer. Hitsuuchi is his nickname, referring to the message when phone call failed to connect (such as destination number not found).
- Urachi Masamune (浦地正宗 Masamune Urachi)
- Hiroyuki Sasano (佐々野 宏幸 Sasano Hiroyuki)
- Voiced by: Hiroshi Naka[5]
- A citizen of Sakurada who has the ability to create 'scenarios' in the picture that he takes using a specific camera model; the pictures taken by him are imbued with his ability, thus allowing anyone to go into the 'scenario' inside a picture and relieve it once they tear down the picture. However, the 'scenario' inside the picture only lasts for 10 minutes. It is unknown whether his ability can alter the future if a person decides to make a drastic change while in a 'scenario' or if the effects of events in a 'scenario' can affect the current world. He was involved with the Bureau's early years and was in a relationship with the Witch when they were younger.
- Yoko Asai (浅井 よこ Asai Yoko)
- Kei's mother.
- Witch (魔女 Majō)
- Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara
- An elderly woman who has the ability to see the future. The Bureau keeps her confined for their use and thus she is treated as a 'tool'. She doesn't tell Kei her name and instead tells him to call her a 'Witch' instead. She and Sasano were in a relationship but separated once the Bureau found out about her ability. It is hinted that she's the one that orchestrated the events of the series due to her influence on Kei when he was younger.
