Relife

1

When I was a child, I thought

I would go to college when I grow up,

look for a job and work normally,

and thought to get married

around when I'm 25 years old.

But where I am now...

I deeply apologize to say this but

it has been decided that your

employment has been terminated.

Um...

You are Mr Arata Kaizaki, right?

Yes!

After two years in a university,

you went to graduate school.

Yes.

You've got guts.

Yes! I have confidence in my perseverance!

Huh? Why is it that in the first company

you were hired at after you graduated,

you quit only after five months?

Well... Umm... You see...

You could say a difference in direction.

It's a resolution as I gaze toward the future.

Quick decisions and actions

are my strengths.

Really?

I'm 27 and unemployed.

Hello?

It's me.

Oh... Takenaka.

Kaizaki, isn't it your payday today?

Wanna go out for a drink?

What?

Ah, sure.

I think I'm going to get promoted soon.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hey.

Shall we go then?

Oh man, tomorrow's another work day, huh?

But then, who would have thought

that Takenaka would get married?

I know, right? Congratulations.

Give my regards to your wife.

Thanks.

You too, Kaizaki. Do your

best on your new job.

Will do.

Then, here's my share.

Thank you very much.

Why did

my life become like this?

There's nothing going on with me right now.

Not even work.

Not even dreams or goals.

Good evening. Nice to meet you,

Mr Arata Kaizaki.

Do you want to redo your life again?

What?

You have been chosen

as a ReLIFE test subject.

Would you consider participating

in our experiment?

Um, you see...

But wait, who are you?

I'm sorry I forgot.

I am Ryo Yoake of ReLIFE laboratory.

ReLIFE laboratory?

We are searching for people

who dropped out of society

and are considered NEETs...

Hey, hold on there. I'm no NEET.

I'm currently job hunting and

sometimes I have a part time job.

I apologize for that.

But please consider this.

We have reviewed everything

in your background history.

Scary.

Ah, please wait. Please

listen to what I have to say.

As if I'll listen to that!

The experiment will last for one year.

And after that, we promise

that you will have a new life.

And also, you will be fully

compensated for that year.

Fully compensated?

Yes.

From rent to food and everything.

In addition, we will introduce and

refer you to a company after completion.

Seriously?!

Isn't that a good deal?

Since you're currently unemployed and

there is no prospect of reemployment,

And it looks like you don't

have any savings left either.

Shut up.

But what do you mean by redoing my life?

It won't be that easy to change that.

It is easy.

Starting this spring, you will live

a life of a high school student.

What? A high school student?

I'm already 27, you know.

Do not worry.

This is a new drug developed by our company.

If you swallow this,

you will be rejuvenated

to a high school student.

Hmm? Have we caught your

attention by chance?

Of course you did.

What the hell is that drug?

Scary.

Anyway, please think about it.

I told you, I don't need it.

The truth is it's too

painful that you want to quit?

Even pretending you're a company

employee and drinking with friends?

What?

Don't you want to forget

your current self?

I will be waiting for

a favorable response.

Bye for now.

My head hurts.

I drank too much.

Huh?

I can see?

Hm?

I'm a bit different.

And the facial hair is thin.

Like when I was young.

Ahhh!

I took it.

No way! What?!

Mr Kaizaki.

Why don't you try ReLIFE?

[ April ]

Scary.

I'm the only old man in this

flock of high school students.

It's so scary!

But what I am hesitating for?

They are only bratty kids

who are ten years younger.

High school girls!

They're really high school girls!

I should just take a seat that

doesn't stand out for now.

Um...

That is my seat.

Ah!

I'm sorry.

I just transferred.

The seating order is

posted on the blackboard.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Good morning!

Hmm.... I wonder where I will be sitting.

Why are you here?

Good morning!

Now that self introductions are done,

we will now start the customary test.

What? Test?

Isn't it surprising to have a test on

the first day of the term in our school?

Seriously?

I didn't hear about this!

I am not prepared for this at all!

Geez.

Oh well.

I've already graduated once,

I might be unexpectedly good.

Okay, don't turn it over yet.

Wait, I don't have a pencil case!

Kaizaki.

What is that?

This? It's just my cigarettes.

Cigarettes?!

Ah!

Ah! No! You're getting the wrong idea!

It's something I always have!

Always have?!

Wait a moment there. You're only just...

Teacher!

We need to start the test.

Y-you're right.

Go to the teachers' room after school.

Everyone! Look forward.

You can start the test now.

Thank you.

Eh?

Um...

Thank you. You saved me.

No worries. If you'd like, you can

keep it for the rest of the day.

Ah, are you alright?

It's better to take the day off if

you're sick, don't push yourself.

Take the day off? Don't say

stupid things like that.

She said that bluntly to

someone older than her.

I would not take the day off

especially for this test.

Rena sure hates to lose.

You don't want anybody to take the

place of the class representative.

The class representative will be

chosen from the result of this test.

Kanriu had always been the class's best.

That's why she's class representative.

Wow.

But this year....

the school's top student,

Hishiro is in our class.

Stop chattering so easily like that.

Sorry...

Yo-a-ke.

Now, could you start explaining to me.

Why are you in this school?!

I told you, didn't I?

It's my job to observe the test subject.

I kept to myself. I wanted to see your surprised face.

You super sadist!

Oh well. By the way, why is it that

of all the years, it's third year?

It's the time where the studies are hardest.

And everyone had been close

to each other already.

It's the time when it's the

hardest to get along with.

But then it doesn't matter

what year I'm admitted to.

I just got into this because of the

living expenses and job hunting.

In the first place, I will disappear

from everyone's memory, right?

Memories from the people

who got involved around you

will be erased after the ReLIFE period.

What?

What about my memories?

Of course, your memories

will still remain.

If not, there is no point

in redoing your life.

And besides, you'll just

end up as a no good NEET.

But...

It would be different if you

tell someone about ReLIFE,

or someone knew who you really are.

Your memory will also be wiped out and the

experiment will be terminated immediately.

If that's the case, I would

just be behind the shadows,

and smoothly let that one year pass as it is.

Go buy some meal tickets already!

Hurry.

Are you not done yet? Hurry it up.

Huh? What's wrong with her?

You're wasting time.

It's Hishiro. Looks like

she's having some dispute.
