Return by Death: The Girl Who Rewrites Brockton Bay
(リターン・バイ・デス：世界を塗り替える少女)
Natsuki Subaru was just a shut-in teenager on his way home from a late-night convenience store run—
instant noodles in one hand, zero expectations in life.
Then, with a blink, the world shifted.
The parking lot was gone.
The air was heavier.
And the first thing he noticed was that his voice sounded wrong.
When Subaru opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar alleyway — not the fantasy kingdom he'd imagined, but a crumbling city of rusted steel, cracked asphalt, and the smell of salt and sewage.
Even worse… he was now a girl.
With no powers, no explanation, and no way home, "Natsumi Schwarz" stumbles through Brockton Bay, a world of capes and criminals, desperately trying to find her footing.
But the first time she dies — alone, terrified, in the dark — she wakes up again, right where she started.
Every mistake rewinds. Every death leaves scars.
And amid the endless loops, one person shines through the despair: Taylor Hebert, a lonely girl trapped in her own kind of nightmare.
If saving her means dying again and again…
Then Natsumi will keep fighting, until this world itself is rewritten.
