This manga is actually pretty interesting. A main character who deals with his issues in a unique way is quite fun to read about, it was intriguing to see how the MC tries to cope with his shortcomings and try to hang with the 'normal' people in his class.
The dynamic between the MC and his love interest is also done pretty well, and the pacing for the two's relationship is believable too. The story has an aspect which i'm not really a fan of in general, love triangles. But this one managed to keep me intrigued because all members of the triangle are genuinely ... likable.

Unfortunately, the magazine which the manga was serialized in was terminated and the series ended in one of the most abrupt and (imo) disappointing ways (plot-wise) ever.

It's a real shame, this series genuinely had potential but unless the author decides to revive this series with another magazine (which seems unlikely since the author has vehemently stated that this particular series is over) this is the end of this manga.

This is one of the best manga i've ever read. This is a manga series with a lot of heart, likeable and relatable characters, and enjoyable art. While reading this, i found myself deeply drawn into the exploits of the cast. Having suffered from some social issues myself, this manga had quite a few 'golden words' to life by and take from. Sure, there are a few cliches and tropes in the story, but this manga pulls it off so well, and the plot-twists are done tastefully and if you pay enough attention, somewhat noticeable so it's not your typical 180 degree absurd plot-twists. Not ... to mention, the art is great, with clean line-work and surprisingly detailed colouring.

ReLIFE is by far one of the best character-driven manga you can read.

My main gripe with the original DiTF anime series was that it had a lot of unnecessary things happen just to fill up that 24-episode run. Not only that, there's quite a few plotholes that i am bothered by (especially towards the second half of the season).

This manga adaptation starts out roughly the same way as the anime did, but it made do without some of the more 'filler' arcs of the anime and got straight to the point. The way the manga's plot progresses differently also (imo) fixed some of the main characters' personality to be more likeable. This is one of the ... reasons i prefer the manga more than the anime.

Quite a few plotholes were also fixed in the manga, and i won't say much about the ending, but i found the manga's ending and final arc much more enjoyable as it didn't break the flow set by previous story arcs unlike the anime.

Regarding the art of the manga, it is pretty well drawn and replicates the visual style of the anime quite well. Although i found it questionable that there are a few uncensored panels which i thought was pretty unnecessary.

Overall, i found this manga to be much more enjoyable than it's anime counterpart, with a story that flows better and actually likeable. Give it a read if you felt the anime was lacking.
