Chapter 1 (Todai Revengers)

Reborn is the first chapter of the first volume and the first chapter overall of the Todai Revengers parody, written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu.

Summary
While watching the entertainment channel, Michitake Icho learns that Yuki Hayase, his long-time classmate from elementary all the way to university, has graduated from Keio University and is now married to successful businessman Yojiro Ueda. Hearing this, Michitake becomes furious at how he is living an unpleasant life that is far from Yuki's.

At work, Michitake's superior scolds him for his improper job at the store and doubts his alumnus status as a former student of Todai University. He later grieves over his low income in comparison to the average salary of a Todai University graduate and concludes that no woman will ever love him despite graduating from Japan's top university. Suddenly, a woman on a bicycle crashes into him, and in a split second before death, Michitake envisions Yuki. He also recalls the time he entered Todai University and how he met her, who by then was his only friend. Afterward, a bloody Michitake lies on the ground in vain and continues to contemplate over his miserable life compared to Yuki and her newly wedded husband, Yojiro.

Suddenly, an angel by the name Yariel emerges. She claims that Michitake has been sent to the gap in between worlds and explains that he has been chosen to change his life as a result of his plea to not die. Michitake guesses that this was because he graduated from Todai University, but Yariel denies. Afterward, Michitake asks Yariel to take him back to seven years ago, so that he can change his life for the better and also save Yuki. They shake hands, and Michitake is taken to the past.

Michitake wakes up in a bus on April 7, 2010. He recognizes some of the passengers to be his former classmates from university. Seeing that he has successfully traveled back in time, he enthusiastically declares that he will change his life this time around.
