Again
A story of high school Inamura in his last year graduating as a loner without friends hope nor ambition. Inamura wishes he could go back in time to see the performance of the nonexistent Oeundan club. However due to some circumstances Inamura while chasing a girl falls and is transported 3 years back in time
As the story progresses the main goal which is to REVIVE OEUDAN was established. How Inamura finds a way to get the broken down club back to it glory days and the many antics that would transpire were entertaining.
My personal favorite part of the story is the theater arc more specifically volume 8 of the manga. The featured characters and the romantic tension were what made it my favorite But I cannot overlook the story which also made me motivated to finish reading the manga.
The only drawback of the story or plot is the latter half. By the end it felt as though the story lacked direction and even felt rushed. Which was unfortunate to see as I was invested on it reading cover to cover.
The art of the story is well drawn from the characters to the environment were comfortable to see. Personally I find the character designs to be decent. Although I do find the manga covers really pretty and eye catching as you can see from the few images down below.

Characters
Kinichir Imamura
Characters male lead Inamura looks like a delinquent but has a pure heart. Trying his best to change as seen throughout the story he has the most character development amongst the ensemble or cast. How they portrayed Inamura in the latter half was off putting to say the least.

Yoshiko Usami
Female lead Usami leader of Oeundan. Using the most traditional form of cheering and her passion for the craft all the more keeps her going. The character herself is blunt most of the time especially at important moments.

Other Characters
The cast surrounding the leads were nice. The members of Oeudan had varying and unique personality. Truthfully gave a smirk and a laugh at times. Another notable part of the cast is the antagonists of the story certain scenes invoked emotion of anger and made me feel annoyed at times. Which I commend as finding antagonist that actually make you hate them is not common to see.
I suggest trying to read the manga a very casual read to pass the time and see the firsthand revival and cheer of Oeudan
