Plot

edit

Akira Yagami, a salaryman, dies after saving a boy from being hit by a truck. He finds himself reincarnated in another world as a goblin. Living with other goblins, he learns that their life in this world is very short, only about seven days. However, as a result of his tragic death, he was allowed to live a far longer than usual life: 80 years. His arrival in the world coincided with the death of the Demon Lord, but as it turns out, the world still awaits a new threat.

Reception

edit

Writing for Anime News Network, Rebecca Silverman reviewed the first volume. She notes how, despite following isekai tropes and following common fantasy elements, the series is able to stand out and flesh out the premise. She praised the character designs, finding them adorable. She even noted how Akira being a goblin, in contrast to the world's humans, was well-done as a driving force. Although she ultimately thought positively of the volume, stating that it was better than its title suggested, she did feel that the series remained limited by its fantasy genre.[29]
