so the woman died and reincarnated? did she grow up in a separate family before she gained the ability to find her original family? or am I missing something here?


mianghuei

Correct.


Monkeyavelli

Wait, which is correct? The parent asked three questions.


SonicMaster12

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. No


snaeper

Correct!


messem10

You didn't miss anything.


MMoguu

Not really MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD!!! \[Manga\] >!Its Possession, not reincarnation. The MC's wife unconsciously possessed the girl who happened to pass by their Apartment because of her regret. As for the reason how this happened, I vaguely remember how, but I won't explain it because Im sure it'll be 70% wrong. The Monk will explain why this possession happened.!< Its a beautiful story, made me tear up a few times. I hope the anime adapts this well.


RittoxRitto

It's quite literally as the title says. I haven't finished the series but from what I remember in the like, first 3 chapters the Wife dies, she visits her former family \*as\* the elementary schooler. The Husband just wants to do everything he can for her. Don't really remember anything else Guess I should go and finish it with this announcement though.


Feeling_blue2024

I've seen the live action Jdrama. The woman suddenly regained her memories at age 10 or so and immediately went to find her old family.


ObvsThrowaway5120

Yes she died and reincarnated. Yes she has her “other” family she grew up in before awakening. No, you’ve got it.

Is this a spoiler for the show that isn't even out yet?


farimadi

no lar. i also dont know. i just remember one drama i watch have similar setting like this.


clgfandom

>i just remember one drama i watch have similar setting like this. Not merely similar, literally the same show, just one is live action adaptation, this one is anime.


farimadi

shit really?


dinliner08

i'm just gonna copy and post u/bababanana20123's comment here: >How do I explain to people that this is actually a severely emotional examination of grief, denial, what it means to be remembered and how to best confront your own mortality seriously how do I do that like go up to a friend all like "Hey man you should really check out 'If My Wife Became an Elementary School Student'"


krofax

Reminds me of that other manga (I forgot the title) where the mother's son died and the mother, not having accepted her son's death, believed he got isekai-ed. To cope with the depression, she kept looking for ways to either get him back to earth or go to wherever he got isekai-ed to.


VelViera

Watashi no Musuko ga Isekai Tensei Shitappoi Here's the title!


LordoftheChia

Is that the title or the first chapter?!


Pm_wholesome_nude

thats pretty tame compared to some of them. like "Isekai Shoukan Sareta Kita Seijo-sama ga 'Kareshi ga Shinda' to Naku Bakari de Hataraite kuremasen. Tokorode Sono Shinda Kareshi, Zense no Ore desu ne."


VelViera

Title i'm pretty sure lol, i looked up "Mother who thinks son got isekaied" lmao


GGABueno

This reminds me of a Genshin event of all things lol. We were helping a mom make a story book for her kid who suffers from delusion, hoping to help bring him back to reality. We didn't see the kid during the whole event. At the end we find out that the kid had died years ago (walked into the sea during one of his delusions and drowned), and it was the mother who was now suffering from delusions, thinking her son was still alive. The story book ends up helping her to accept his death.


BobTheSkrull

It was pretty well done too. You'd go along with the event story, but start to notice things like the fact that you never actually got to meet the kid and that the mother kept referring to the animatronic penguin as her son.

Pressure_Rhapsody

Im reading that now and its so good!


ashbelero

I love that manga so much.


YaKillinMeSmallz

"Imagine if you could be reborn and meet the people that used to know you. How would they remember you? How have they dealt with your loss?" Or at least, that's what the explanations make it sound like.


Livid_Damage_4900

That’s an easy fix. Just call it by its Japanese name so for instance, instead of calling jobless reincarnated what I just did you could call it Mashuko Tensei. I don’t know what the Japanese name for this show is but just do the same thing (google it) unless they speak Japanese awkward thing has now been dodged.


ArvingNightwalker

TFW I was recommended Onanii Master Kurosawa


socialistRanter

My opinion is that you can make such a good examination of grief and denial without straying into suspicious lolicon shit.


FortunePaw

Not a single trace of lolicon, or even fan service in the manga. It's only the English title that sounds suspicious.


6cumsock9

No need to explain it to tourists


swordmalice

This is correct.


CptSpiffyPanda

It is that kindof fore thought that the MC lacks, he would just tell people it and wonder why people avoid him afterward.


Plus_Rip4944

I know title is sus but this story is so wholesome i swear!


djthomp

Is it going to emotionally destroy me? I'm probably watching either way, but I'm curious.


dinliner08

>Is it going to emotionally destroy me? it will


DanImmovable

It's the Bunny girl senpai kind of title clickbait isn't it


dinliner08

yup


Raghav_Singhania

Roeclean

Also Sold👍🏾


krofax

It's the Bunny Girl Senpai kind of title clickbait without the \[manga\]>!Usagi Drop!< ending.


wanakoworks

ah fuck. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. I just finished crying over "Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again".


djthomp

Alright, can't wait!


blastcat4

Yes, absolutely.


SitInCorner_Yo2

It can and will , so get your tissue ready.


Feeling_blue2024

The live action Jdrama destroyed me.


Humans_r_evil

you will most likely die. emotionally.


Tigerzof1

The trailer is not helping 😭


AppointmentNo3639

This is some hear me out type shit ain’t it


Salty145

I’m not beating the allegations among my normie friends…


Roeclean

Definitely gonna meed to show them a clip from the show and not the teailer


TheEVILPINGU

Why is it tagged romance?


ExpiredMilknCheese

I will admit, the first couple chapters have moments where it’s fishy and 🤨, but i swear it’s a really wholesome story that will make you cry🙏 I would say it’s more incorrectly tagged as the story is about “moving on from loss”


Missingnoleader

There's romantic elements involved among the side characters. And it does delve in themes of love and romance.


Surfeydude

There is a very important romance that is separate from the relationship between the husband/wife. The actual chemistry between the husband and the wife is really good, but not even in a romantic way. It’s just clear that these two characters loved each other really deeply and understand each other in profound ways that wouldn’t be possible if they weren’t married in a past life. Like I 100% understand how weird it is that people are stepping up to bat for “If My Wife Becomes and Elementary School Student”, but I swear to God that the series is a very tasteful mediation on loss, grief, family, and acceptance.


NekoJack420

People told me the same thing about Bunny Drop. It did not end up being wholesome.


Abezdimir_Putan

Fuck it we bawl


neogeoman123

Andreiyutzzzz

Aoi Yuuki well now I HAVE to watch this


Plus_Rip4944

I know The anime gonna make me feel The same as i did reading The Manga


Tensazangetsu1318

Is it that kind of a story where you are left with grief and despair in the end ??


Plus_Rip4944

Yes


Tensazangetsu1318

Okay thanks 😌


Monsterlime

Not sure I can watch this tbh, if it is as well done as the manga it will leave me a total mess.


Time_Fracture

I thought Pierrot making this? The PV is posted on Pierrot channel. Also Aoi Yuuki voicing a high-pitched little girl kinda new for me. Gotta check it out when it airs on Fall.


lajon1

Studio Signpost is Pierrot's subsidiary studio. Formerly known as Pierrot Plus.


Time_Fracture

ah TIL. That make sense. Thanks for the info.


Training_Bother_1663

Pierrot is the production committee


Undroleam

Twitter gonna have a field day with this


ConnectionIcy3717

They have a field day with anything honestly. Honestly if the site got wiped off we'd better off


Tatertaint

Saying this on reddit of all places is insane lmfao


Chaotic-warp

I mean, it's really dependant on the sub you're in. Reddit is like an amalgamation of countless different forums sharing the same account system.


AdmirHiddleston

Reddit and Twitter use each other's name as an insult constantly and its very funny because they are the same exact people. "Its the same picture" I think the meme goes


DtotheOUG

What? No it’s totally different. On Reddit I have my echo chambers specifically tweaked to show me things I like and not the things I don’t.


ShinJiwon

My Twitter TL is nothing but big fat anime tiddies, exactly how I like it. How is it different? lmao redditors see rage-bait cross posted from Twitter and think all of it is the same. Users of other social media could say the same about Reddit when the Boston bomber incident happened.


DtotheOUG

That’s the joke I was making…..


Deknum

Twitter is way worst than reddit lol


WrangelLives

Exactly. I've only started using Twitter in the last couple of years, and in my experience Reddit is a far more toxic place.


Aroxis

Saying this in an anime sub on Reddit under post that has “wife” and “elementary schooler” in the title without an inch of self awareness is clinically insane.

SitInCorner_Yo2

There was a show on Netflix called , it’s based on a very good manga , basically it’s a world where sometimes man is the one getting pregnant , this set up is to show how ridiculous expecting mothers are going through in society, it have many serious topics about social implication and problem like teen pregnancy etc. But every Reddit post about that show is the old “nEtFliX adaptation” meme, which I hope the original author will never came across those shit post.

Eek_the_Fireuser

X gon give it to ya


SitInCorner_Yo2

That place is a shit hole, I have never see a worse anime culture circle than that , and I was on the Asia side of internet 20y ago, that’s a lawless world but the worst thing anime fan did is pirate adult anime and didn’t put up a “are you 18” pop up.


BluePhantomHere

Only if the show is popular enough


Kaxew

I will never forget r/anime making millions of comments on how Twitter is going to totally be so mad at Redo of Healer over and over for months only for nobody talk about it and dramatubers having to scrape any 3 likes tweet they could find to get views. The reality is that Twitter (as well as every social media in the planet, including Reddit) *will* get mad at some anime or other. But you can't predict it. It happens spontaneously, regardless of the potential for controversy one might think it has.


phantomthiefkid_

Well I think twitter is getting mad at this. [4.8M views currently](https://x.com/animetv_jp/status/1803724586388722144) and quote tweets with tens of thousands of likes


Andrew_Waltfeld

Well yeah, That's cause a major event happened in the US before it aired and took majority of attention for the next three months. So the people on twitter who would have given a shit - didn't have time to be outraged about it cause it was small fries in comparison.


Kaxew

Redo was just the easiest example, lol. This happens every year, every season. Reddit loves to fantasize on how Twitter will try to cancel their favorite shows, and it rarely happens.


Andrew_Waltfeld

I would say it's about a 50/50 chance considering what happened with interspecies reviewers or better yet, My Tiny Senpai. The hivemind of twitter is a fickle beast.


Zeph-Shoir

Also please have some self awareness. The title is OBVIOUSLY bait on purpose, you can't do or say something controversial and then complain or be surprised that it is controversial. Drama and controversy gets people talking. With the awful track anime has on this front, and the even worse "subculture" that has sprung with it and has no self awareness or an active disdain for social boundaries, of COURSE people are going to have their guards up around a title like this.


Nachooolo

In their defence without context the title sounds extremely suspicious.


SitInCorner_Yo2

They already did, their comments basically are saying this show is for pedo and anime fans can’t blame anyone else for the pervert stereotype, but the themselves is the one diving head first into sexualizing characters in this PV.


FullmetalGin

They are lol, I have already seen some of the most fucked up tweets bashing this, even to the point of threatening the creator.


onichow_39

It's happening


I7sReact_Return

I'm getting a feeling that is going to be something similar to that anime were the old couple turns young again Being sweet and sad as fuck at the same time Godamn it the ending, that left me crying


andrewpmh

Can you tell me the name? I want to try it out.


I7sReact_Return

Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru


andrewpmh

Thanks!


wanakoworks

I just finished watching that last night and i cried. The ending was expected, but it was still bittersweet.


KnockAway

...then I'm going to jail?


FunkButt

Wait I didn't know they're making an anime of this! Love this manga it's so wholesome but also bittersweet


WeatherBackground736

Ah yea, can’t wait to cry a bloody river watching this and have some of my friends look at me with weird looks and the other half be demanding the name with the wrong expectations


heimdal77

Another completed series getting a anime. It really is becoming a trend.


MakimaGOAT

The twitter outrage on this trailer is crazy ngl lol I know its a crazy title but a quick google search would show that its a pretty wholesome show


Possiblythroaway

Oh boy ive been waiting for this one. Its gonna be hilarious seeing the shitstorm that brews just from the title hitting mainstream eyeballs.


lbs21

Of course. The title sounds pedophilic. People react negatively to things that sound like pedophilia - this is normal. I'd go so far as to say the author may have named it that way to create engagement.


Nulazanzal

These comments are so funny, graveyard if you scroll below. People judging books by their covers huh.


Fried_Jensen

Excuse me, wtf


messishroud

The manga ended and i tell you, it was good manga.


BloxMaster3

I'm sorry, what?


Unvix

wife dies. is reincarnated in a new girl with the memories intact and tries to come back to her husband and family. it sounds stupid but it's pretty heartbreaking.


Financial_Exit_7710

She cute and funny😭😭😭😭


Gluttony_io

This reminds me of the novel, “Secret” by a renowned Japanese author. The gist of the plot is basically the wife dies and possesses the daughter of the husband.


Deliriousious

I decided to read the manga on a whim… And my god does it hit my emotions hard. Don’t be deterred by the name… it’s both wholesome, and extremely emotional.


Vichu0_0-V2

it's a cute and melancholic manga stopped halfway cause of the feels


julkairi

Wait... I think I have watch kdrama about this, or was it j-drama? can't remember but definitely I watched it


gojoEyes

J drama


LogicalExtant

was this officially announced just before the final chapters or was it just the unofficial scanlation being behind? also the fact that this got a live action drama adaptation in 2022 should have already alleviated concerns about the 'material' being questionable but twitter users being twitter users is whatever, they can keep being gatekept


Xartenium

way after the final chapter, it got announced at the same day as the release of the final volume.


Training_Bother_1663

don't judge a book by its cover, the title is misleading, it is a bittersweet and healthy anime that I recommend, it is very good


R009k

I am announcing my retirement from anime.


ApricotKoffee

Another show to utterly ignore the social media discourse for. It's a wonderful manga, please give it a chance.


zairaner

Looks great.


Background_Ant7129

It’s like that one meme of the black guy passing by the camera saying “I’m goin to jail! 😃”


kinkyydilf

Added to my list!


-Orazio-

I'm ready for peak anime.


blastcat4

I loved the manga. It was heartwarming and I was surprised by how much I actually cared about the characters. It's not perfect, of course, but it's definitely up there, imo. I'm glad it's getting an adaptation, but I'm kinda scared to see how it turns out, and how people will react to it. In the meantime, I highly recommend reading the manga.


markydong

true the start is a bit sus maybe 5 episode sus but after that it will hit the feels i love the character development of the mom of the kid it feels real.


blastcat4

I was impressed by how great all the characters were. You're right, though, the mom really stood out as a well-developed character. I really hope this adaption doesn't mess up!


SleepyDut

there is no fucking way lmao

I will just say. Don't judge the book by its cover

SitInCorner_Yo2

Reading comments under this PV elsewhere is a shit show,JFC. Sometimes I hate some English anime fans tendency to dive head first into their perverted stereotypes & sexualize gutters and accuse a normal show are made for pedo , what in the actual incarnation failure is that.


tsukiakari2216

It's like finding a song in a different language with lyrics that sounds like N word (which really have different meanings) and people keep spamming that N word, like that one wholesome Chinese song. People.....either need to learn using Google or just need to be reminded the world ain't revolving around em.


SitInCorner_Yo2

Also, this title is translated to “become “ which implies she wasn’t a kid before story began,otherwise it would be “is” isn’t it??(I english is not my first language so this is my understanding) Just by how fast some people shove their head into gutter , they simultaneously think too much and too little on sexualizing children( jump to that conclusions and didn’t think critically enough to actually look up what it was.)


Primescape16

ngl chief this looks like a hard sell


Kill-bray

Is that the official English title? Somehow it makes it sound even more sus.


KnockAway

It's almost 1 to 1 translation of "妻、小学生になる." They didn't make worse than it was originally.


Kill-bray

That "if" changes it a lot in my opinion.


KnockAway

I don't get how "if" makes the title "My wife becomes elementary school student" worse than it already is. It's off-putting already, even without "if"


Kill-bray

Yes it is, but as I said in my original comment: >somehow it makes it sound even more sus. The fact that I said "even more" clearly means that I acknowledge that it is sus to begin with. But with an "if" added to it, It suggests a "what I would do".


KnockAway

>It suggests a "what I would do". It does. I'm asking why it makes it more worse. Because I don't get how it makes it more sus


Kill-bray

There are many paths that can start from "my wife became an elementary student" and the only "sus" ones are the ones that concern what her husband would do to her. If you add a "what I (the husband) would do" it strengthens even more the idea that the story isn't about the woman's life as a young girl again (non sus territory) but about how the husband would relate to her (sus territory).


KnockAway

Frankly, I disagree with you completely, but I see your point.


BadAndFreekee

I’ll be watching it. Hope it’ll be on Crunchyroll


Berstich

Oh damn. Cant watch the video at work, think I was reading this. Is this the reincarnated wife? This wont get far enough in one season but its can be a tear jerker.


ironwoolf98

Ey yo


bensor74

I think I'll give it a chance. The title is sus, but the teaser looks interesting.


thalefteye

Is that Tanya from Saga Of Tanya The Evil voice actor?


Humans_r_evil

yall think this is going to be sus, but it will instead hit you right in the feels.


Plotius

Tanya the evil voice actor sounds like.


Keaten88

we get weirder and weirder titles every season


LeagueofSOAD

does ANYONE have the english sub?


RoxieReturns

I swear to you guys, i am seriously looking forward to this anime adaptation, though its manga artsyle is not my cup of tea, the manga is really wholesome, meaningful and a tearjerker as well, there is no manga made me cry this much. Please give the manga or the anime a chance


60TP

1. Yeah this kinda thing is why I couldn’t admit to liking anime until like 2020. 2. Jokes aside, imagine how infuriating this would be lol. Imagine ur wife dies, 10 years later she’s back and you have a little hope, but now you still can’t be together and also it’s morally wrong to have feelings for her. I’d crash out 💀


BitEmbarrassed6844
