8.6/10


There have been so, so many poorly done “regressed to high school” mangas, especially ones involving romance, that there’s a huge negative stigma whenever I read one; in my mind, I know something’s going to wrong; this trope can’t be this well-done, yet, this manga blew that negative stigma out of the water via its realistic, humane characters and “delicious” pacing.

Characters in time travel mangas are one of the most jarring things; they are either unrealistically cringy and don’t act their age or they become some kind of omniscient god, causing the manga to be anticlimactic and baffling. However, in this manga, the mc ... doesn’t act out-of-hand while he still possesses his adult-life’s personality, on purpose or not. The main cast also have some psychological problems, which can be an instant turnoff, but it’s done in a non-focal manner where it isn’t too distracting, but it also isn’t breezed through.

The pacing of the manga is simply delicious. In other words, it isn’t too fast nor is it too slow, causing the manga to maintain its somewhat cozy and humorous atmosphere while not being boring in the slightest.

For a romance, high school, time regression manga, this is the peak and has probably some of the best writing among its peers.

Fairly simple yet quite nice.

The plots been done before but not nearly enough in a modern sense. Re life and one other series is all that comes to mind when thinking about this.
However the plots a bit different in the sense the mc isn't hung up on the future, thinking things like "I need avoid the death flag" Its still there sort of but rather then changing 1 major thing he decides to change many small things like himself and how he acted and doesn't constantly wave the death flag over the readers making us believe ... this is only temporary.

The characters are nice, rather then having the old man who regressed be hung up on grown up things such as addictions, older women with big breasts and alcohol he instead just acts mature and blows up awkwardly every so often.

There is drama in this but it doesn't control the plot which makes this easy to read/digest.

The art is nice, It's manga styled. Nothing bad nothing insane just good

Overall: 8
