Yen Press releases the manga in English. Its synopsis follows office worker Akira Yagami, whose selflessness often leaves him worse off. After dying while saving a child from oncoming traffic, he is reborn in another world as a goblin.
Goblins normally live just seven days. Akira’s new powers let him overcome that limit and put him on the path to becoming the strongest goblin ever.
The manga debuted on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump website in 2020. Shueisha released volume 15 on September 17, while Yen Press published English volume 10 on May 26.
