relife is one of the best mangas iv ever seen and the review below would be a feel reasons why
first: the setting
okok the setting, is unique, many anime and manga series have put much effort and time into creating a setting for their story since it affects the whole story line and how the characters would grow and be delivered to the audience, and for ReLife's its perfect. the story have a constant reminder of how time will slowly pass while packageing all the heart felt moments with all the characters in, the 1 year pact settings made all teh character's decisions all the more impactful as the main character kazaki and main heroine hishiro develops and goes thru a full life crisis, bringing me to the discussion of
characters:
the main cast is definatly this series's strong point, the story is about kazaki and hishiro's ReLife expriment, going back to highschool for only one year, leaving right after graduation, no more memories would be left for their friends after the experiment, so why make any? Thats what they thought for the first half of the story, and this is where the support division comes in, i wont get any deeper into the anaylsis of the characters as it may ruin your experience of this manga, but its quiting intesting and inspiring to see the two characters adapt into the highschool life and change their view on the every so betraying society.
world:
there isn't much to say about the world, just the normal society that we live in, nothing more and nothing less. simple, but not so simple, there story starts with intoducing kazaki as a "neet", someone with no job even though hes nearing his thirties. exploring both the views and idealsitic thoughts of both types of age.
the manga teaches us many things, how to be more positve, forward, face problems, and courage, yes courage, though explaining on paper might not make much sense on how a story could give someone courage but this one sure can, though the hardships of these character we learn, through the much change in their attitude in life we adapt. this story gives dreams that tiny bit of spark that you need to start running towards it in the dark room you trapped yourself in.
for me, this will be a story to remember of fondly. Dont be sad that it ended, be proud that it happend, and sure enough, im defitatly going to revisit this story soon, in times of joy, in times of struggle, and in times when i just thought. "huh" why not. just like memories play a key role in the story, so will my memories of this story play a part of my life that i probably wont forget for a very long time
art: 7/10 nothing speicial tbh
story/setting: 10/10
characters: 9/10
