Manga or Anime that's about a second chance.
Any good recommendations for an anime or manga that's about someone going back in time(can be any method of how they went back in time) and get's a chance to travel a different path in their life?
On top of my head, here are the ones that I've read and watched: Anime 1. Relife(not really going back in time but it's akin to having a second chance) 2. Steinsgate 3. Erased Manga 1. Remake Our Life! 2. The Mage will Master Magic Efficiently Thanks.

I've been pretty into Tokyo Revengers recently. It's kind of like Erased except better (imo)
There's also Again but I feel like that became a bit aimless after the baseball arc. Both of the above are manga only. For anime there's technically ReZero though that's not about the MC redoing his own life in a thematic sense. It's like Edge of Tommorrow except fantasy rather than scifi A really good one is Tatami Galaxy. It's very avant garde though. There's also The Girl Who Leapt Through Time which is a great film all round.

Thanks for the suggestions, for now I think I'll go with Volcanic Age and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Also forgot to add that I'm already reading through Skeleton Soldier couldn't protect the Dungeon and A Returner's Magic Should be Special

You might want to give Asatte no Houkou a try as well. Very underrated IMO. Basically a body-switch premise with a young adult woman and a 12 year-old girl, I think it overlaps with your requested themes quite well.

The Results From When I Time Leaped to My Second Year of High School and Confessed to the Teacher I Liked at the Time (manga + novel)
Title really says everything about the plot. Series is mostly fluff slice of life.

Reverend Insanity. You can read the manga to get a taste. Unlike all those other protagonists, this guy didn't need to waste a life to figure out he should live.
