Synopsis
Makoto Konno finds herself running late for school on 7/13. Her entire day seems to be one bad incident after another: -she fails a surprise test. -singes her hair from cooking class accident. -ends up being knocked over by two guys horsing around.
After being on clean-up detail in class and assigned to return text manuals, she makes her way through a science lab. Noting a strange object on the floor, she is momentarily surprised when someone enters the room, causing her to fall on the object. As she does, a series of strange images fly past her, before she eventually falls to the ground. She attempts to find out who was in the room with her, but the person is long gone.
After school, Makoto goes to see her Aunt at an art museum. However, the brakes on her bike give out, and she ends up hitting a guard-rail, flying into the path of an passing train.
However, instead of dying, Makoto finds herself several yards away from the guard rail, and watches as the train goes by. Makoto eventually makes it to her Aunt's workplace, and explains the strange incident. Her Aunt calmly explains that Makoto experienced a 'Time Leap,' which allowed Makoto to leap back in time several seconds before the accident that would have killed her.
Makoto finds it hard to believe, and spends the rest of the evening pondering this. Leaving the house, she attempts to leap off the edge of a shallow riverbed...and finds herself having gone back a full day (to the date 7/12). Makoto then stays with the timeline, and lives out day 7/13 again...only this time, making it a perfect day. She arrives early to school, aces her surprise test (finishing quicker than everyone else), and has a classmate named Takase take her place at one of the cooking class stations. This causes him to reap the misfortune that she had previously, and makes him a target by some other guys in class (unknown to Makoto at the time).
Makoto also uses her powers for more personal reasons, such as turning one hour into ten during a karaoke session, and leaping back to have her favorite meal. At one point, her friend Chiaki attempts to ask her if they should be a couple, and Makoto time leaps to avoid the situation. This eventually leads to Chiaki instead taking an interest in another classmate named Yuri.
Makoto relays this information to her Aunt, but her Aunt cautions her to be careful with her powers. Makoto soon finds that her actions definitely have an effect on others. Takase has been bullied ever since the cooking class misfortune, and at one point in anger, he tosses a fire extinguisher that injures one of Makoto's classmates. Makoto also notes a strange numbered tattoo on her arm.

Memorable Quotes
- Makoto Konno: [voiceover] If today... If today were a normal day, there wouldn't have been any problems. But... I'd forgotten that today was an extremely unlucky day. It's crazy... but I'm going to die. This is it. If I had known, I would have gotten up earlier. I wouldn't have slept in. Wouldn't have been late. Done a better job on my tempura. Avoid being knocked over by stupid boys. And today was supposed to be NICE day...
====================================================================
- Makoto Konno: Why did you use it? Shouldn't it have been saved for the right time?
- Chiaki Mamiya: It was the right time. You don't remember, but Kousuke and that girl died once at that crossing. A certain someone was crying with guilt, so I had no choice. I had to go back, but before I noticed, it was summer. Being with you two... was too much fun. It was the first time I ever saw a running river on the surface. It was the first time I ever rode a bike. It was the first time I ever knew how vast the sky was. And above all... it was the first time I'd ever seen so many people in one place.
