Satsujin Purgatorium

Haunted by the unforgivable act of murdering his adoptive father, Takasugi Gen carries a burden of guilt that defines his entire existence. When he unexpectedly passes away at the age of forty-six, he anticipates nothing more than the finality of death. Instead, he awakens to find himself thrust back through time, inhabiting his younger body several years before the tragic crime ever took place. Armed with the memories of his past failures and granted an unprecedented second chance, he resolves to navigate his high school years with a renewed sense of purpose, determined to forge a completely different path. Yet this new beginning is far from ordinary. Takasugi finds himself caught within a surreal purgatory—a mysterious realm suspended between heaven and hell that paradoxically feels like an idyllic paradise. Despite the tranquil facade of this otherworldly setting, the weight of his previous life remains ever-present. Driven by profound remorse and the desperate hope of redemption, he embarks on a deeply personal struggle to reclaim the family and friends he once lost. In this strange space between salvation and damnation, his battle to rewrite his destiny and protect those he loves finally begins.
