About ERASED

ERASED (僕だけがいない街) blends drama, mystery and psychological by A-1 Pictures (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: Satoru Fujinuma is a 29 year old manga artist struggling to make a name for himself following his debut. But, that was not the only thing in his life that Satoru was feeling frustrated about…

As things develop, he has a unique supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until the accident is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an accident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinazuki went missing.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Sonohokasei (Ayaka Asai) and Satoru Fujinuma (Shinnosuke Mitsushima) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
