A Gripping Tale of Mystery and Second Chances
If you are a fan of stories that involve jumping back in time, then Hatsukoi Reverse ~Detective Returns to the Beginning~ is definitely going to be right up your alley. It is basically a time-leap suspense story where we follow the main character, Makoto Hyakutake. He is a detective who is around 40 years old and honestly, his life has been quite a mess. Ever since he lost his lover, Makoto has literally lost all his motivation and is just living a very dull, repetitive life without any real spark. He spends his days reconsidering his past love and the various unsolved cases that still haunt him.
Everything changes one day when he is cornered by a violent criminal and actually loses his life on the scene. But instead of the end, it is a new beginning. The next time Makoto wakes up, he finds himself transported back in time to 10 years ago, specifically in 2016. This was the exact day he actually started his career as a detective. This second chance is not just a regular time jump; he actually acquires a special cheat ability that allows him to see the future. Now, he has to struggle to change the destiny and save the life of his lover, who is still alive in this timeline. Many fans are saying why this mystery romance is a must read is because of these high emotional stakes.
