by Kenkyo na Circle, Keiji Asakawa
After devoting his entire life to perfecting his skills, Zeph Einstein receives the highest accolade of the Crimson magicians. However, the following year, he uses a newly developed magic that can assess the true talents of a sorcerer and he finds that his Crimson magic is actually inferior to all his other skills... He realizes he has wasted all his years pursuing the magic he is most incompetent at, and the anguish propels him to create a magic that can take him back into time. He wakes up finding himself back in the body of his younger self. Together with the prodigy magician Milly and the handsome female swordsman Claude, Zeph goes on an adventure, and perhaps this time he'll be able to effectively and efficiently master his magic!

The StoryHoard editorial verdict
A high-concept regression fantasy that gets a lot of mileage from its hook, though its humour and harem elements wear thin.
Pros
- A clever premise about wasting a life on the wrong talent
- Brisk pacing for a completed run
Cons
- The ecchi and harem tags lean into fan-service
- The hero's arc relies on a familiar power-up formula

Read the full take
Punchy premise, and it earns its hype: a man spends his whole life perfecting his craft, earns the top honour in his field, and then discovers his strongest-looking skill is his weakest. That gut punch is the best thing this series has going for it. The rest flows from one question: what do you do with the years you have already wasted?The pacing is brisk. Once the hook lands, the story moves, and because the run is complete you won't be waiting on a cliffhanger every week. The magic systems are easy to follow, and the tone is light enough that the stakes never feel suffocating.Honest verdict: the fan-service and harem elements feel like padding, and some of the humour recycles the same beats. If you expect a deep character study, you will be disappointed. It is a fun, fast regression fantasy that does its job, and little more.Recommended if you want a clever premise and don't need complexity. Skip it if the ecchi-leaning jokes are a dealbreaker.
