Plot of the series in brief

Much like most Isekai anime, this show also revolves around an Otaku, a term given to someone obsessed with manga and anime. One day, the Otaku loses consciousness after eating pig liver without cooking it. He was shocked to see that he woke up in the body of a pig.

After a chain of events, this man, who is now stuck in the body of a pig, meets a girl named Jess. This is no ordinary girl since she has the gift of telepathy. She then realizes the protagonist’s thoughts are somewhat perverted. Despite this, the girl befriends the protagonist, which is quite bizarre.

Despite Jess’ compassionate nature, she is destined for something dark and requires help. Can the protagonist wade through this strange world and help Jess with only his wit in his arsenal?
