Arata, for example, isn't supposed to get romantically involved with high schoolers. He needs to take a drug that will make him look young again on the outside, and this will let him go back to high school, where the idea is that he can fix whatever's wrong with him psychologically.Īs you can imagine, being a grown man in a teenager's body raises some issues. The catch is that he has to take part in an experiment. One day a man named Ryo shows up and offers Arate a job. He's also a NEET, someone not actually looking for a job. The main character of ReLIFE, Arata, is a bit of a pathetic character. So if you're 35, you won't be making the 100m sprint with your middle-aged lungs.

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and relive your childhood with your adult brain and knowledge? In ReLIFE, the technology exists to make someone look like they should be in high school on the outside, though sadly, people who take the drug are still the same age on the inside.

ReLIFE has a pretty interesting premise, although perhaps some troubling implications as well.
