A cute, not necessarily explicitly a girl's love, despite what it's tagged as, but a living setup between an alien and a housekeeping android.
There aren't many chapters at the time of writing this review, but each chapter either expands on the two main characters' personalities, deepens their familiarity with each other, or hints at something deeper regarding Aoi, the android. The characters aren't complex, but they have charm regarding backgrounds, and bounce off each other nicely.
The art is expressive! I especially enjoy the way the artist draws Aoi's eyes. The line art is thin, with some line weight. Backgrounds aren't always detailed, but
...
are present more often than not. When the two are out in public areas, there are plenty of background figures with enough detail in design to make the scene feel full. The way Aoi dresses compared to Ami is notably different, making it easy to tell them apart and showcase their characters through their clothing.
Ami, the alien of the duo, is blunt, sometimes coming off as intentionally awkward when interacting with humans. But she doesn't feel completely removed from humanity, at least personality-wise. She's tasked with relaying information about the planet, as she's stuck on it, but isn't particularly interested in Earth. At first she's unsure what to make of Aoi, but through the few chapters out already, she warms up to understanding what Aoi is, and how to navigate living with Aoi.
Aoi is ironically more "alienated" from humanity than Ami is. The way she talks reminds me of "seri", as it's robotic, but trying to be pleasant. I say that endearingly, though, as she has been alone for 9 years before Ami arrived, and adapts to Ami's presence enjoyably. Both Ami and Aoi are unfamiliar with actually being human, so seeing them interact with the world on their own unique information and backrounds, makes for a simple, but interesting comedy.
If you're looking for a simpler series, you can enjoy here and there; this series is perfect for that. The characters have charm, the basic premise is easily understood, and the series has implications that there's something deeper to Aoi's backstory, which will unfold throughout the manga. The duo are close, with the possibility of a real romance going on, but the series focuses much more on slice of life, mellow character-focused comedy.
I've rated this a hopeful 7/10, as It's good for what It's trying to do, and I could see it growing more depth with each chapter.

(Slight spoilers, no in-depth plot spoilers)
After taking a month to read this story, I feel confident it has left an impression on me.
Psyche Matashitemo is a time-rewinding, ability battle shonen. The main character, Saike, hooks you completely by the end of volume 1, which in itself feels like a perfect preview of what's to come in this story. There's a lot of heart in the writing of Saike, in the way he wants to be a "hero", but surprisingly, there's never an officially formed "hero group" in the story, as the idea of being a "hero", is more so a mindset of Saike's, and
...
one that his two close allies, Ana and Hizu, take on. The series introduces a lot of characters throughout the story, and some characters fall in and out of relevance. Depending on if you grow attached, that may be a detriment.
The powers given to the characters are a whole ballpark of it's own! They can either be super specific or super simple, but there's nothing simple about the way fights/conflicts are written! There's a certain underlying feeling that "anything could happen", which is something that surprised me, given the main character's ability to repeat the day. That's not to say there's no reason or logic, though, because some of the solutions are really clever. Another piece to the fights in this series is "determination", and though his friends become very important to Saike, I wouldn't say the series relies on "power of friendship", more so the appreciation of said bonds.
This series also includes a lot of details, to be brought up or explained in greater detail later, so chances are, a detail you assume "forgotten", will come back around.
A bit of a meta compliment, but the volume covers are so interesting to look at *after* finishing the respective volume, as the seemingly random imagery and symbolism, clicks into place when you finish the volume!
This review isn't supposed to be anything serious, because I think this is the kind of story that you just have to appreciate for what it is, and It's okay if it doesn't draw you in. I personally think It's pretty peak though and you should totally check it out if you're looking for more battle shonen! Another small comment I'll make is I find it easy to read it one volume at a time, instead of *completely* binging it.
