Story
Have you ever thought, "I want to live my life over again"?
The #1 popular comic running in the web comic site "comico" is finally turning into anime!
Arata Kaizaki (age 27) resigned from his Company 3 months into starting work after graduating from college. Since then, finding a new job hasn't gone well, and with his parents cutting off financial support, he is on the verge of being forced back to his hometown.
He doesn't have friends or a girlfriend to seek advice from...
But before Kaizaki, who is at a total loss, a mysterious figure appears - Ryo Yoake.
Yoake suggests to Kaizaki about joining a social rehabilitation program for NEET people called "ReLIFE".
The program content was to use a mysterious remedy to superficially look younger, and attend high school as a student for one year...
