Saike Matashitemo is Tsubasa Fukuchi's masterpiece. From the side characters with small parts all the way to the main characters everyone have interesting development and amazing interactions, it's an evolution from Law of Ueki which had more of a one piece/gash bell style of character dynamic; Saike Matashitemo is akin to something like Hoshi no Samidare or even Fullmetal Alchemist's type of character development. Tsubasa Fukuchi might be the third best mangaka in terms of "fights with cool powers" (only behind Araki and Togashi): the fights are smart, inventive and often have a comedic edge to them.

It's reassuring to see such a heartwarming series have ... more depth and emotional weight with each new arc not at the expense of being sincere, as it has happened to other series that falls on the trappings of equating more depth to become more cynical and dark.

This manga is the incarnation of average. It has the cliche hero quotes and the power of friendship and perseverance. I really tried to like Psyche Matashitemo as i thought it was really good at the start but things went down hill real bad to the point that it became a chore to read because of how predictable the plot is, and don't get me started about the plot holes this manga has. for example, one of the antagonists of the manga has spent a really long time to achieve his goal , yet when he is almost at the goal , he decides to ... tell the mc and his friends about everything and then of course he loses. that's how cliche this manga is. character development feels like its there but the mc never changes more like its an illusion. the characters' actions are justified by reasons that i can only call stupid. the art was decent tbh. the end was rushed plus it was predictable. this manga was truly disappointing.
overall 5/10 i wouldn't recommend reading this if you have read many shounen manga.

I really can't understand the hype around this piece, it's just "meh" all around, the characters, their goals, the overarching plot, the art, everything really. Sadly it wasn't a forgettable "meh" but an annoying "meh". I found a review saying that this wasn't like your average ESP shounen manga but I really can't describe it as anything else.
The forgettable, but also overzealous (for no apparent reason?) kid in class gets super powers and uses it to achieve his goal (this time being justice). He usually isn't very strong by his own but with the power of friendship and perseverance he beats the bad guy. Also ... don't forget about his strong-willed love interest!
I wrote that short synopses actually thinking of Boku no Hero and not Psyche Matashitemo, but I can bet you didn't notice that.
I'm a fan of a lot of mangas that follow a set trope (not really as same-y as this manga but we don't even need to go there) and I think when executed well it can birth a nice little piece (can it really tho? These types of Shonen Jump-y shounen mangas are all so bad I really doubt you can milk the cow for any longer) but this is far from well executed.
All of the MCs troubles turn out in similar ends, the humor didn't hit off with me, I can only get annoyed whenever he shouts and whines about his justice and how the bad guys have bad morals and how we must save his friends and yada-yada-yada.
The only good thing I can say about this manga is that Saike's round little head is pretty cute.
If you want a good manga about ESPs fighting against something read Freesia.
