It's published by NHN PlayArt on comico website since October 12, 2013 and has six volumes compiling the chapters published by Earth Star Entertainment released so far. An anime adaptation was announced on February 13, 2015 and aired on television on July 2, 2016. On June 24, 2016, the series was released in full on the web. Tokyo MX, GYT, GTV, and BS11 later broadcast each episode in the usual weekly format. A live-action film adaptation of the same name will be released in 2017.
The story revolves around a 27-year-old man who becomes unemployed after quitting his job of 3-months, claiming that it's because it "does not fit his highest potential". As a result of this action, he finds it difficult to gain a full-time job at another company and instead he works as a part-timer at a mini market. One day, a mysterious man named Ryō Yoake offers him a job opportunity, but first he needs to become a tester for ReLife: a scientific experiment to rejuvenate him by 10 years and send him back to high school as a student. Apparently, the experiment is supposed to provide a chance to experience youth once again and, in the process, fix whatever's wrong with the subject's life.
The manga began publication on the Comico app in 2013 with physical publication of the series following in 2014. The series was added to the streaming service Crunchyroll manga service on December 21, 2015.
