Imagine his bewilderment and surprise, then, when he inexplicably finds himself seven years in the past—one month before his first year of high school! Can Haibara avoid his previous mistakes, make his way to the top of the school social pyramid, and end up with the girl of his dreams? Or will he be forced to relive three years of solitude as the most hated guy in school? He’ll need all the help he can get in order to succeed, from a workout regimen to online how-to guides, a childhood friend, and plenty of sheer willpower. Watch as Haibara takes a second shot at his teenage years!

What if dating one girl ruins his friendship with the other? Or what if it affects the whole group? To add to the chaos, Serika, the school’s music buff, recruits Natsuki into her band.

It’s time for Natsuki to open his eyes and see his friend for who he really is. Regardless of what he learns, neither love nor friendship are up for negotiaation in Natsuki Haibara’s Rainbow-Colored Youth Plan!
