Makoto Konno may not be the smartest girl in school, but she knows how to have fun. Her life changes when she has a brush with death and discovers she has the ability to jump backwards in time. Unable to resist exploiting this gift, she sets about changing her school grades and playing tricks on classmates. Yet when it comes to time, dangers lurk at every corner... With a host of awards and stunning art direction from Studio Nizô Yamamoto, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time remains a breathtaking achievement.
