Sendou Toki's Five Minutes

Fifteen-year-old Sendou Toki is an elite ace squad member tasked with defending her city from dangerous magical beasts. Armed with the extraordinary ability to stop time, she dedicates herself entirely to her demanding duties. For a protector as busy as Toki, not a single second can be wasted—except, of course, when the world itself stands completely still. When she activates her power and freezes everything around her, Toki finally claims a brief window of freedom in a motionless world. Within these stolen moments, she secretly indulges in the ordinary joys of youth she normally has no time for. She sneaks bites of sweet crepes, gently pets stray cats, and quietly dreams about experiencing romance for the very first time. In a world where every person and object is paused, Toki covertly enjoys the vibrant adolescence she has been missing. Time may have stopped for everyone else, but for her, youth is only just beginning to move forward.
