For not being perfect, the heart, and soul from the manga kept me engaged all the way until the end.

A kid who's capable of drowning over 200 times just to convince somebody to change for the better. Just as a statement that's probably impossible to imagine. A fallacy, something I couldn't believe from someone like our protagonist Saike, a kid with a life of nothingness. He never tried changing his life, to interact with others, to mold his context to mean anything. No aspirations, no desire to do anything, until he's told somebody died, and he can save them by dying, not only once, ... not only twice, but hundreds, and hundreds of times, maybe thousands.

That itself could be a great manga, and a great story about obsession, but it doesn't end there. The world expands, the story gets bigger and bigger as each obstacle brings upon a new enemy that could only be beaten by our main character's will to keep on dying. It's beautiful to experience how he justifies his obsession, the people he influences, the others he motivates. His will is something that moves the world, slowly giving the world a reason to change. Each villain representing opposite sides of his convictions.

It isn't a perfect story. Many times, the story doesn't try to justify how the main character manages to repeat a situation by drowning, since it implies he managed to escape the situation he was in. The ending seems too big to just be a time skip, but the setup was there, and the length of the manga goes way bigger than it had to, but the pieces HAD to be there.

The author didn't write the story into a corner, but it definitely had to set up too many things for the ending to exist as it is, and I applaud them for achieving the feat. A great beginning, a great mid-point, and an ending that breathes so much passion and love for the story itself. I could see the author thinking ways to use the powers, and even if there's some ass-pulls, I still bought the story. It isn't about a bleak world, where if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. It's a world filled with people that wish to be good, and do good, just as much as the opposite.

The art fits very well, the creativity with the modern setting powers is great, and some fight scenes are incredibly cathartic to watch from the ideological standpoint. The dialogue felt purposeful, with all its mistakes, and virtues. It came from the heart, and I can't say that about many stories.

Sure, the final villain didn't convince me that much, but I entirely understand why we need him. Some functions from the powers were forgotten in other scenes, but I love how some powers aren't even understood by the carriers entirely. I get why they'd forget, seems even in character, it's always a good with a potential negative.

7.7/10. Many things to talk about, but what better way to experiencing it than reading it yourself. You won't regret it.

Mixed Feelings

This manga is the incarnation of average. It has the cliche hero quotes and the power of friendship and perseverance. I really tried to like Psyche Matashitemo as i thought it was really good at the start but things went down hill real bad to the point that it became a chore to read because of how predictable the plot is, and don't get me started about the plot holes this manga has. for example, one of the antagonists of the manga has spent a really long time to achieve his goal , yet when he is almost at the goal , he decides to ...

Preliminary (124/142 eps)

I really can't understand the hype around this piece, it's just "meh" all around, the characters, their goals, the overarching plot, the art, everything really. Sadly it wasn't a forgettable "meh" but an annoying "meh". I found a review saying that this wasn't like your average ESP shounen manga but I really can't describe it as anything else.
The forgettable, but also overzealous (for no apparent reason?) kid in class gets super powers and uses it to achieve his goal (this time being justice). He usually isn't very strong by his own but with the power of friendship and perseverance he beats the bad guy. Also ...
