Synopsis
33-year-old Kondo Asami is single and lives with her parents and younger sister. She handles over the counter services at the local municipal office but it is a stressful job where she gets yelled at by citizens. To relieve stress, Asami hangs out with her childhood friends Kadokura Natsuki and Yonekawa Miho, gossiping about their ex-classmates while they having a meal and singing karaoke. She thought her life would go on like this. But that night, Asami is hit by a truck and awakens in the white space of afterlife!? A man who is a guide in this afterlife thanks a bewildered Asami for the last 33 years and says he will lead her to a new life. She is disheartened. Unable to accept that her next life will be determined by the virtues of her past life, she chooses to live life all over again as Kondo Asami in order to be reincarnated as she wishes. Asami finds herself lying on a bed in the gynaecology department with a younger version of her parents right in front of her. This is the beginning of her second go at life. As she accumulates virtues, she changes her life and the lives of those around her little by little.
