Twenty-five-year-old Mitsuomi Kozuka finds himself back in the countryside after recently losing his job in Tokyo. At first glance, it seemed as if time froze in the rural area where he grew up. However, it is not long until Yamato Kumai comes into his life.

Unlike Mitsuomi, Yamato is cheerful and full of youth, even though the two are of the same age. Despite their contrast, Mitsuomi finds solace in Yamato's presence, making him feel right at home. But living in a closed and conservative community holds them back from being open about their feelings as they both face unsettling situations and receive critical looks from the residents.

Restart wa Tadaima no Ato de was adapted to a live-action movie which was released on September 4, 2020.

It was published in English as Restart After Coming Back Home by Seven Seas Entertainment on November 23, 2021.
