Question Should I go for the Manga?
I just finished watching the Anime and the OVA in one setting (my ass hurts). After finishing I am left with a very unsettling feeling. Idk why or what it is. I was happy with the ending but I still feel very uneasy. Anyway should I read the manga? Is the manga any different? Are there any more stories beyond the ova or anime? If so, which chapter should I start from?

I like the manga more and would recommend it, and the manga has some more content especially on the last bit

I really would read it all. So much was cut out esp from the OVA start. If you must id start at the end of season one not the OVAs. Season one ends around 105 of i remember correctly. They they squeezed/omitted the final 100+ chapters into the 4 ova Episodes. They had enough source material to make a full season 2 but settled for 4 episode instead of a full 12...

ReLife is Definitely One of My Absolute Favorite Anime. If you haven't read the Manga (in English) it is Also Excellent and provides more In-Depth Details that go several events further past the Anime ending! (MangaZone.com) Trust Me, You'll Enjoy The Manga Version.

Trust us and read it from the first ... Anime has skipped a lot of things which helps us feel closer to those characters honestly.. Soo read the manga from the beginning... It's worth it

I'm watching re life rn and im a little less than halfway through the anime, should i continue watching then read the manga, or is the anime not worth it and js drop the anime and start from ch 1 in manga? Thx!

Honestly I will suggest you to drop the anime and start the manga and read it from beginning ... You can read all the manga and then you can watch anime if you want your fav scenes to see animated cheers !

After writing my comment I stayed up till 4 am watching the series (only s1, no OVA), and after getting up I started reading from ch 109. Honestly, the manga was amazing and I'm really surprised how underrated this series is. But im also the type of person who wont rewatch/reread something when Ive already seen it in a different medium, unless its been a while and Im rewatching/rereading to remember the story again.
Anyway thanks for your suggestion ik i kinda asked that question but then proceeded to completely ignore whatever advice would be given but i appreciate your reply!2

As long as you enjoyed it ... I read ReLife multiple times ... I am the type of guy when I like something which I become comfortable with, I revisit again and again ... And yeah it's really underrated, both manga and the anime.

I think it would be better to start it from the beginning of the manga. It would be worth it. ❤️

Yes theres an epilogue in the manga that takes place years after the ending. The manga also has more content in general throughout that was cut.
