A new anime started in Apr/2021, adapted from original manga.
This anime genre is a hybrid of "school, violence, and science-fiction". Story is a "time-travel" sort, in which the main character, who became a part-time worker after being a delinquent junior high school student, goes back in time to change the fact that his junior high school girlfriend died in an accident.
This original manga has been popular since it was published, that it is now being adapted into an anime and also to a live-action film.
Created by a production LIDENFILMS,Inc.("The Badminton play of Ayano Hanesaki!""Boarding School Juliet"), Directed by Koichi Hatsumi ("Blue Exorcist Kyoto Saga""Deadman Wonderland"), Scripted by Yasuyuki Mutoh ("AFRO SAMURAI""MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN"), Theme song played by a Japanese pop band Official HIGE DANdism. Voiced by Shin Yuuki ("HEYBOT!""SAIKYO KAMIZMODE!") as a main character. Also Waki Azumi ("Katana Maidens: Toji No Miko""How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord") is casted as a heroine. Others are all well-trained male actors such as Ryota Osaka ("Snow White with the Red Hai""Ace of Diamond"), Yū Hayashi ("Haikyu!!""Cheer Boys!!"), Tatsuhisa Suzuki ("Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion""The Seven Deadly Sins: Revival of the Commandments"), Mizunaka Masaaki ("How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord""Namuamidabutsu!

Although the picture touch is typical of boys manga, the story is thick and thrilling.
Very interesting.
It may be more interesting to compare it with the live-action version which will be released in theaters this summer in Japan.
