ReLIFE

At 27, Arata Kaizaki has become the kind of man others write off—unable to hold a steady job after leaving his first company and drifting from one short-term position to the next. His routine is interrupted when Ryou Yoake of the ReLife Research Institute offers him a strange chance at a fresh start: take an experimental pill and rebuild his life. Arata agrees, only to wake up the next morning in the body of a 17-year-old.

The offer comes with a condition. As part of the experiment, Arata must spend a full year attending high school as a transfer student while Ryou keeps a close watch. Expecting adulthood to make the experience easy, Arata quickly learns how much has changed—academics, fitness, and even school rules don’t bend to his confidence. Caught between past regrets and present challenges, he works to adapt to his second adolescence and connect with classmates he’s only beginning to understand.
