If you were hoping for another series like Re:Life, I'm sorry to say that this is like if that concept of going back to high school was used to write a harem. And while having some interesting ideas, it generally stinks.
You can kinda tell once you get to the second girl that it was going to devolve into a harem-esch plot, but this has only been further backed up by the later chapters. Characters are uninteresting with little characterization besides "my current life sucks, but here in the past I can be ME," and then that Real version of them is equally as uninteresting as
...
their current self. Like I feel like with the main girl Asukura is just supposed to be like a person like Chisato from Lycoris Recoil, but she is infinitely more uninteresting due to the generic writing for her dialogue and actions. The main guy Chono is also the stereotypical depressed loser loner type that is so popular in this type of manga who doesn't really showcase anything noteworthy other than being the main character of the manga. These two have OK chemistry all things considered, but nowhere near the level needed for me to really care.
And if it wasn't immediately apparent by the art style, this is definitely an ecchi manga, so don't be surprised by the sexualization on the female body here in very unnecessary ways. MAL doesn't have it labeled as such, but it definitely is. You will see creepy upskirt shots, boobs will be the biggest part of the character, and I definitely got pick me vibes from the main character (like the typical ecchi mc).
And if you are hoping for the plot to be too interesting, it's again just okay before devolving into a pretext for setting up a harem/love conflict (I think it's setting up a love triangle at the place where I dropped it but I could really see it getting more convoluted). There is no real stakes and since you don't care for the characters, there isn't real joy at getting to see them live out their dreams.
Overall, it isn't offensively bad, but it definitely isn't worth your read.
