Oh, wow, I just found out that Boku dake ga Inai Machi is getting an anime adaptation.  I was so surprised that I got goosebumps.

In the manga's story, Fujinuma is a young man who works as a struggling manga creator. However, he has an ability that others don't: the ability to turn back time.

Sanbe began the manga in 2012 and it is currently serialized in Kadokawa'sYoung Ace magazine. Kadokawa will ship the sixth compiled volume on July 4 The manga was nominated for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize 'Reader Award' in 2014 and this year's Manga Taisho Awards.  http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-06-18/boku-dake-ga-inai-machi-manga-gets-tv-anime-in-january/.89434

It sounds very fantasy-ish in that description but it's more like a psychologic thriller.  The main character learns some very unpleasent things about his childhood relative to a serial killer who preyed upon children, including some of his classmates.  That past catches up to him as an adult and his life gets turned upside down.  Things happen and he finds himself in the past, once more a little boy.  He also comes face to face with his classmates who were murdered, including a lonely little girl that was ostracized by the rest of the class.

It's really good and I hope the anime can do it justice.
