Kyouya Hashiba, 28, is having a difficult time in life. After leaving his office job to seek a career in the video game business, his internship at a prominent game studio ends unexpectedly, leaving him unemployed and forcing him to return to live with his parents. Furthermore, his envy for the success of the "Platinum Generation"—a group of similarly-aged creators—has made him regret his decision to attend a standard institution rather than an arts college. Kyouya, who thinks there are no second chances in life, is given one when he wakes up one day and finds himself ten years in the past. Instead of going to business school, Kyouya decides to follow his interests and enrolls in Oonaka University.
