One night after drinking with a high school friend, Arata meets Ryō Yoake, a man who offers Arata pills to turn him back into a 17-year old so he can redo his life.
The official website for the live-action film of Yayoiso’s ReLIFE manga announced on Friday that Yudai Chiba (The File of Young Kindaichi Returns: The File of Inspector Akechi) will play Ryō Yoake.
Yoake is a staff member in the ReLIFE research institute, and the one who made an offer to protagonist Arata Kaizaki to rehabilitate his life.
Like Kaizaki, he also takes the pill that returns his looks to high school age, and supports Kaizaki from afar.
