ReLIFE (Manga) add (All reviews)
Mar 17, 2018
I opened my MAL list to update it, when I've seen it:

"ReLife 213/237"

"Huh? It used to be a "?" instead of a number meaning it was still ongoing...Does that mean that ReLife is...completed?"

Yes, it was. It really was.

I ran so fast, opened my reading tablet and checked its status from my manga app and I found the last few chapters and almost cried reading them.

This was such a ride from beginning to end. I got introduced to ReLife through the anime, and I don't know what made me pick up the manga since I don't usually do that and especially an ongoing manga since I tend to stay away from those. However, something in ReLife captured me and I couldn't put it down that night. I binge read it to its latest update, and each time a notification of an update popped up it made my day a little better.

You're a neet and have a hard time adapting to society, you meet someone who promises you a great job if you agree to an experiment: relive one year of high school. Would you accept this offer, if the stakes are high including memories of loved ones? This question is the base concept of the manga. We follow our character while he explores life a second time around, and he verifies the saying that goes "You can't read a book twice because it changes the second time."

Which brings us to the characters, and I think they're the strongest point of the manga. They were developed very well, whether they were main or side ones. They make you sympathize with them, get happy or heartbroken when they do. They felt like real people and not merely characters (but maybe that's because I've read this in the course of a few months what's with the updates and basically felt that I know them). Nonetheless, they were likable and endearing.

Overall, it's a read I didn't regret the least and would highly recommend it for a light ride but also packed with emotion right where you need it!
