Summary

Childhood friends use time travel to try to avert tragedy in this bittersweet book about growing up, love, and loss—by the creators of the light novel and manga series The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes (also from Seven Seas) that inspired an anime film。

Two years ago, high schooler Kanae left his small island community of Sodeshima to pursue his academic dreams in Tokyo。 When that life falls short of his expectations, he runs away from home to return to Sodeshima and his childhood friend, Akari。 But before they can rekindle their old feelings for each other, the clock strikes six and Kanae finds himself inexplicably thrust forward four days into the future。 Worse, he learns that Akito, Akari's older brother—and Kanae's childhood hero—is dead。

Except death might not be the end for Akito。 As Kanae tries to fill in the four-day gap of his memories, Akari explains: he's about to relive those four days in reverse order in a phenomenon known as "Rollback。" Kanae himself explained it to her。。。in a past he hasn't yet experienced。 Armed with this new knowledge, Kanae is determined to leverage Rollback however he can to save Akito's life—and Akari's heart。

Wait For Me Yesterday is a wonderful novel with an amazing translation, perfectly capturing the tone and intent of the original novel。The prose is easy to follow, but full of depth and foreshadowing that makes a reread an absolute treat。 The dialogue is also stellar and really helps cement the characters as the awkward teenagers they are。 It balances its use of slang without veering into "Hello Fellow Kids" territory like a lot of writers tend to, and also avoids the opposite problem a lot of Ja Wait For Me Yesterday is a wonderful novel with an amazing translation, perfectly capturing the tone and intent of the original novel。The prose is easy to follow, but full of depth and foreshadowing that makes a reread an absolute treat。 The dialogue is also stellar and really helps cement the characters as the awkward teenagers they are。 It balances its use of slang without veering into "Hello Fellow Kids" territory like a lot of writers tend to, and also avoids the opposite problem a lot of Japanese to English translations fall into: making teenagers sound lifeless and bland, because people think any slang is out of place in a translation, even if the slang was there in Japanese。I would absolutely recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys character-focused drama or time travel plots。 。。。more

This book was much better than Tunnel to Summer in a lot of ways…the English translation of conversations is still corny and cringe in some spots (the word “gotcha” gets used a lot at very awkward moments, and at one point a character says “cool beans” yikes) but the sentiment behind the character’s interactions was very heartfelt and poignant。 I liked the plot of this one better as well…and the ending wrapped it all up in a satisfactory way。 The time travel aspect was one I’ve never seen done a This book was much better than Tunnel to Summer in a lot of ways…the English translation of conversations is still corny and cringe in some spots (the word “gotcha” gets used a lot at very awkward moments, and at one point a character says “cool beans” yikes) but the sentiment behind the character’s interactions was very heartfelt and poignant。 I liked the plot of this one better as well…and the ending wrapped it all up in a satisfactory way。 The time travel aspect was one I’ve never seen done anywhere else, and at first I thought it was going to be too convoluted…BUT the author handled it perfectly and it all came to a head and everything was explained perfectly。 Can’t wait to read more books from this author in future! 。。。more
