Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri, where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia.
Tennouji Kotarou lives here. He's a high school student who has the ability to rewrite his own body; he can become stronger and faster at any time he chooses. He investigates supernatural mysteries with five girls from his school.

Where it came from
Rewrite is an anime adaptation based on the visual novel developed by Key, which premiered in 2016. Produced by the studio 8-bit, the series was designed to condense a branching narrative game into a linear television format, a common yet challenging task for visual novel adaptations. The project aimed to capture the supernatural mystery and character-driven drama that defined the original source material, maintaining the aesthetic style associated with Key's signature character designs.
The series received a mixed reception from both critics and fans of the source material. While the production quality by 8-bit was noted for its ambition in translating complex lore and multiple story routes into a twenty-four episode run, the narrative pacing was frequently discussed as being overly compressed compared to the expansive nature of the game. Despite these challenges, it remains a notable example of the mid-2010s trend of adapting high-profile visual novels into television series.
