Does re-experiencing a point of your life from a new perspective have any good effect?

Ok. There is this manga, called ReLife. The premise of it is that a failed salary-man get a second chance to reintegrate himself into society. To do so he has to take a pill that essentially makes him look younger. Bear in mind, its only cosmetic, he still has the constitution of a grown man. So he goes undercover to a school, where he is aided by "supports", they are responsible for how the subject is progressing through school life. So far in the manga it seems to do him wonders, but in a real life scenario will it really help.

My guess is that it will help a person to reattach him/herself to society again, but it won't have that much of a change compared to the manga. Since it is a fictional work, there are bound to be situations where it may seem out of the ordinary. Though the author does his/her best to make them seem life-like, but you won't see these situations every time you attend school. Redoing school seems a bit too far. Bahh what do I know from a story writers perspective having a 27 year-old go back and attend school looking like 17 and surrounded by other 27 year-olds does seem like a fun idea for a story. But in a realistic sense, it may help you, but not to that degree like the manga. So my answer is, it will help, but not to that degree.
