    As someone in the age group as MC I find the idea of going back to middle schooler with all the insight and confidence of an adult quite compelling.

    The ED is a banger. I heard it before ,though so it’s not something made for the anime.

      tbf, that’s the appeal of adults who watch middle school/high school anime imo

        I don’t think so. At least not for me. Honestly I find most school-based anime off putting since I cannot really empathize with the teenage angst and anxieties anymore. I know that it’s normal but it is so far removed from myself that it’s just annoying to see. That’s why I enjoyed this series and disliked Heibara’s Teenage NG+ as an example.

        It’s hard to describe. Both are some form of wish fulfillment plot, but one is going back to have a chance to overcome their anxieties and the other is going back having overcome them already. I think it’s a different target audience - tweens vs middle aged.

    I’ve read this one. It’s not as bad as some people say but it’s also (imo) not good enough to be worth our time with such a stacked season to content against.
