So, it's finally over. Relife officially ended with it's 222nd chapter.
Relife was a manga I read by accident tbh. Not in the sense that I randomly picked it up, but it in the sense that the manga turned into something completely different than what I had intended it to be. With the premise set up to guiltrip people who are in the late 20's, relife did an excellent job of this throughout. Though, there were many times the story's pacing and direction was all over the place. Not to mention the science behind the Relife experiment, which when explained was honestly borderline stupid. But, what Relife great was it's characters, and the recurring theme of regrets . This all came into place especially in the last arc of the Manga where the mangaka did a stellar job giving some excellent tear jerking moments and despairing the readers of the idea of a forbidden/unachievable romance. It was romance done right in a Manga, something that I haven't seen in a long time.
As the story has finally ended, Relife has a few things that we all learnt , and the messages it portrayed across to the readers is something different from the manga of its genre. And, yet despite its plotholes, Relife will go down as one of the most intense romances I have read. Someday, I hope to revisit the story all over again.
