Kyouma self-claimed to be a Mad Scientist. he believed that SERN, an international scientific organization was secretly reshaping the world. together with his friend, Daru, they created a gadget to send message to the past. this discovery led to the inventions of more gadgets that altered the past, eventually time-travel. however, Kyouma was the only person who remember the changes because of the Reading Steiner, an ability to retain memories from previous timelines. they were hunt down by SERN at some point that Kyouma was forced to return repetitively to save his lab members.
the anime was separated into 2 parts, the first half was mostly introductions of the time travelling concept, of Kyouma altering the timelines innocently. the second half was where the seemingly harmless alterations catastrophically affected the future, which led to the death of his lab members. despite the light comedy with a mixture of mystery, there were often hints that showed something darker approaching. we were impressed with how the story was told, going into convincing scientific details and delivering an unpredictable plot with tones of conflicts waiting to be resolved. the only downside of the anime was its slow start, the first half of the anime may caused some viewers to give up watching the entire series. but for those who held on, the experience changed so drastically that it would become an overwhelming ride that made all the waiting absolutely worthwhile.
