QUICK FACTS
PREMISE
Kaizaki Arata is a 27-year-old failure, whose parents are threatening to cut off financial support for. Arata is offered a second chance at high school through a pill that makes him look 10 years younger.

animation became chibi frequently

a few characters had good backstories
DISLIKED...

–
characters
OTHER THOUGHTS
•
I was hoping for a show that centered more around Arata and the tension of his false identity. Instead, it focused on the ensemble around him, and was a conventional slice-of-life.

Adapted from a webtoon
CLOSING REMARKS
Entertaining, though simple. Had a few touching moments. Worth watching, for a lighter show.
