Remake Our Life!

A second chance flings Kyouya back a decade, forcing him to remake his life with a band of creative misfits.

Kyouya Hashiba, a 28‑year‑old who quit his corporate grind to chase a dream in game development, hits rock bottom when his internship evaporates and he’s forced back into his parents’ house. Disillusioned by the meteoric rise of the so‑called "Platinum Generation"—a cadre of peers who seem to have cracked the creative code—he convinces himself that life offers no do‑overs. That illusion shatters the morning he awakens a decade earlier, with his future self’s memories intact. Armed with hindsight, Kyouya abandons the business track he once chose and enrolls at Oonaka University of Art, a hotbed for aspiring creators. There he reconnects with Eiko Kawasegawa, the former intern supervisor who now shares his classroom, and bonds with a ragtag group of misfits: Aki, a slacker with a hidden knack for illustration; Nanako, a charismatic singer‑actress still searching for her stage; and Tsurayuki, a prodigious writer whose prose borders on genius. Together they dive into collaborative projects—student games, indie demos, experimental performances—each venture a crucible that forces them to confront insecurities, rivalry, and the weight of expectation. As Kyouya leverages his future knowledge, the quartet learns that true artistry isn’t about shortcuts or fame, but about daring to rewrite one’s own narrative.
