Kyouya Hashiba, 28, is having a difficult time with life. After quitting his office job to pursue a career in video games, his internship at a well-known game studio abruptly comes to an end, leaving him jobless and compelled to return to living with his parents. Additionally, he now regrets choosing a standard university over an arts college due to his envy of the "Platinum Generation," a group of innovators who are about his age and who have achieved success. Kyouya is offered a second chance despite his belief that there are no second chances in life when he wakes up one day and finds himself 10 years in the past. Kyouya decides to follow his inclinations and enrolls at Oonaka University rather than his original choice of business school.
