In this isekai story, if one loses consciousness while consuming raw pig liver, they are reincarnated as a pig in a fantasy world, embarking on an adventure alongside Jess, a kind-hearted girl with the ability to read minds. This exact fate befalls an ordinary otaku with no remarkable skills or talents, except for being reborn as a pig.
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka lends his voice to the pig character, while Tomori Kusunoki voices Jess. These roles were previously showcased in Dengeki Bunko’s promotional video for the series in March 2020.
Sakai initiated the novel series, featuring illustrations by Asagi Tōsaka (known for The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy and Girly Air Force), on March 10, 2020, following his second-place win in the 26th Dengeki Novel Prize in 2019. The seventh volume of the series was published by Kadokawa’s Dengeki Bunko imprint on December 9.
