Synopsis from Wikipedia:
Seventeen-year-old Makoto Konno (Riisa
Naka/Emily Hirst) lives with her family in the Shitamachi area of Tokyo,
Japan. Makoto lives with her parents and younger sibling Miyuki (Yuki
Sekido/Shannon Chan-Kent). Her aunt Kazuko
Yoshiyama (Sachie Hara/Saffron Henderson), is an art restorer at the Tokyo National Museum. One day, when Makoto
discovers a message written on a blackboard
at her high school, she inadvertently falls upon a mysterious,
walnut-shaped object. On her way home, Makoto is ejected into a railroad crossing when she loses
control of her bicycle and is struck by a train. She is transported a
few minutes back in time to before the accident. Kazuko explains to
Makoto that she has the power to "time-leap", to literally leap through
time. At first, Makoto uses her power extravagantly to avoid being late,
to get perfect grades on tests, and even relive a single karaoke
session for an entire hour, but Makoto soon discovers that her actions
can adversely affect others.
