The isekai genre continues to try and find new paths through which to tell stories and that’s how we get Heat the Pig Liver. Based on the light novel series by Takuma Sakai, we learned in December 2021 that it’s getting a TV anime with no details announced at the time. The series began in March 2020 and it has seven volumes out so far as well as three volumes of a manga adaptation.
The official site previously confirmed 2023 plans alongside revealing the two leads. Now, the official site has dropped a new preview for it while we await what season it’ll debut in.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as the pig
- Tomori Kusunoki as Jess
Check out the official site and Twitter.
Plot Concept: An unappealing otaku awakens in the body of a pig after he passes out while eating raw pig liver. Pig finds himself in the company of Jess, an innocent girl who can read people’s minds, and she accepts him despite his boorish thoughts… although she does plan to eat him. When Jess is in danger of succumbing to a dark destiny, can Pig save her using only his quick wits, wisdom, and refined sense of smell?
