In the Kingdom of Ardelia, a ceremony to commemorate the hero is being held, but the hero Albus skips it and instead picks up a priestess named Fiona in front of the castle gates and the two begin their journey together. Albus tells Fiona that he has a power that allows time to rewind to the day he departed as a hero when he dies. Three years and six months later, having made the necessary preparations to defeat the demon lord, the two enter the demon lord's castle and are successful in defeating him. Shortly afterwards, Fiona awakens as the next demon lord, and Albus is fatally wounded. Before dying, Albus defeats Fiona and uses the ultimate dimensional magic to rewind time. The demon lord uses a human body as a vessel and, even if defeated, can revive by taking over the body of another human. In order to prevent Fiona from becoming the demon lord, Albus begins a new journey to defeat the demon lord as fast as possible.

When Akihisa Maki first started writing manga, Maki wanted their work to be serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday, but Maki struggled with drawing illustrations quickly. Eventually, Maki's editor showed Maki's storyboards to Miki Yatsubo. The two later decided to team up. Maki initially wanted to create a light-hearted comedy manga. At the time, Maki was also watching a lot of RTA videos, which led to them wanting to draw a manga where the protagonist keeps repeating events to get the fastest time. Maki did not decide the protagonist's objective until they were writing the second and third chapters. In creating the illustrations, Yatsubo wanted to make the character designs unique and the backgrounds detailed, while also making sure they did not hinder the flow of the story.

Written by Akihisa Maki and illustrated by Miki Yatsubo, the series began serialization in Shogakukan's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday on May 15, 2024. As of May 2026, the series' individual chapters have been collected into eight tankōbon volumes. In February 2026, Viz Media announced that they licensed the series for English publication. In the following April, Viz Media announced that it would publish the series in English simultaneously with its Japanese release.
