Link Click Takes Viewers Back in Time
Link Click revolves around a mysterious photography studio called Time Photo Studio, where clients take photos to ask the two young men, Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, to help them relieve them of their regrets. Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang travel back in time through a simple high-five: the former transports himself into the body of the photographer, and the latter guides Cheng Xiaoshi, keeping in mind that they cannot alter anything in the past while they move to fulfill the client's request, all within 12 hours.
While it may be some time until the live-action series premieres, Link Click fans can sate their hunger by watching Season 1 on Crunchyroll before the second season's launch. Season 2 premieres on July 14, with an early screening at Anime Expo on July 2.
