With a seven volume run of novels between 2009 and 2012, Sakurada Reset is now on track for an anime adaptation and two live-action films, with the anime slated for the spring 2017 season. The original work comes from writer Yutaka Kouno and artist You Shiina and it was well received during its original run. Kadokawa is going to be releasing new editions over the coming months for it and the manga that was done by Masahiko Yoshihara in Shounen Ace.
No details about the anime production with its staff or cast were revealed.
Plot concept: Nearly half the population of Sakurada, a small town near the Pacific Ocean, has some sort of unique power. These powers range from being able to enter the mind of a cat, to resetting the world back to a certain point in time in the past. There is a group known as the “Kanrikyoku” that controls and monitors the use of these powers. Asai Kei and Haruki Misora work for their school’s club called “Houshi” club, which executes any missions received from the Kanrikyoku. Misora has the ability to reset the world 3 days. This means that all events and any memory of the past 3 days that “could have” happened, never happened. Kei has the ability to “remember” the past. Even after Misora uses her powers to reset the world back 3 days, Kei will retain those 3 days in his memory. Combining their powers, these two solve missions issued by the Kanrikyoku.
