🌟What I find attractive about him

I haven't read the whole book yet, but I will write about what I find particularly appealing!

■An otherworldly setting where you get a second chance at life

Through an otherworldly drug called "seed wine," Toru gets a chance to go back to his third year of middle school.
This setting itself gives the reader a sense of tension that "there is no turning back," and hope that "this time things can be changed.

The theme of a great reversal, a second chance to regain what was lost in the past, is more than just a story of reincarnation; it has a depth that makes the reader think about "how I would live my life.
The ordeal that comes immediately after the first reset also highlights Toru's determination and gives the story an epic scale.

■Tense Surgery & Psychological Warfare

The trembling of a patient's fingertips at the moment of grasping a scalpel, the ever-changing vital signs of the patient---these are just a few examples of the tense psychological battles that take place during surgery.
The depiction of the operating room is full of realism.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital, a power struggle among professors and the dark machinations of a pharmaceutical company are going on in the background. Toru's calmness as he uses his skills and knowledge to ensure the success of the surgery alternates with the adversarial forces pulling the strings in the shadows, and the game play continues like a game of chess.
The tense scene and the behind-the-scenes machinations are exquisitely intertwined in a composition that raises the heart rate with every turn of the page.

■Character growth and bonding

Toru, Haruma, and Miho once crossed paths. The subtle tension that began with their reunion gradually transforms into trust as they overcome obstacles together.
In particular, the scene in which Haruma recognizes Toru's ability and they engage in friendly competition with each other, and the way Miho continues to support him behind his back, are unintentionally heartwarming.

As their bond as friends deepens, the characters' expressions become more expressive, adding depth to the story.
