Plot Synopsis

ERASED is a half-hour, Japanese-language scripted series that centers on struggling manga artist Satoru, who leads a mundane life but has the innate ability to travel back in time to prevent imminent tragedies. After Satoru discovers his mother brutally murdered in his apartment, he goes back 18 years in time, before classmate Kayo's kidnapping and murder. As Satoru relives his childhood days at school, he befriends Kayo and stays by her side on March 1 to thwart the kidnapping that would take her life.
