Episode 3 Story

Natsuki has started working at the same cafe where Yuino has her part-time job. Right away, he finds himself serving his own original food arrangements to Uta, Tatsuya, and Reita when they drop by the shop. Two weeks later, Natsuki and his friends organize a study session to prepare for their midterm exams. As he participates in these quintessential "normie" high school events, his Rainbow Colored Youth Plan seems to be progressing smoothly. However, it appears that problems are beginning to surface in places Natsuki has yet to notice.

Introduction

"If only my wish could come true, I'd want one more chance to do my youth over again."

Natsuki Haibara is a young man on the verge of entering the workforce. Ever since he failed his "high school debut," he has lived through a gray and dreary adolescence. One day, he suddenly time-leaps from his fourth year of college back to the moment just before his high school entrance ceremony!

Having gained the chance to redo a high school life that was filled with nothing but regret, Natsuki launches his "Rainbow-Colored Youth Plan" to rewrite his gray past into something vibrant! Using his past experiences to his advantage, he manages to join a group of the school's most popular "top-tier" students and gets closer to the beautiful girl he once loved from afar.

However, the rainbow-colored youth he yearned for isn't just fun and games... Can Natsuki truly reclaim the youth of his dreams?!
