Sounds like it could be a colorful spin on the standard concept. Actually kinda curious how a sentient rib would work.

So Isekai titles have gotten so long that we're putting them script format now.

Though I'm sure the English title will be something simpler like "Reborn as the Hero's Rib" or something.

Is it implied that he only becomes the rib in the first book and becomes other stuff in the next ones?

Is there any other anime that has a cast THIS big (not counting any long-running anime)?

She's had other work! She was Bundorio Bunderas in Boonboomger a few years back, that was a fun time.

Also, M.A.O. is in this, so I guess I gotta pay attention to this anime too (for another Sentai connection, she was Luka/GokaiYellow in Gokaiger).

he only a rib on the first chapter, he then keep reincarnating into weirder and weirder things (hermit crab, right door, dirt, tree with legs, left ear, etc) and somehow he almost always keep becoming the strongest being

the story is mostly him bickering with the goddess in the reincarnation room while reporting his isekai adventures

So it's a "what crazy thing is he going to wind up as next" kind of story?

That's still a pretty fresh angle on the genre, and should end up being quite entertaining if done right.

Antai launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō service in November 2017, and Takarajimasha began publishing it in print with illustrations by Mebaru (The Water Magician) in January 2021. The 11th volume shipped on January 17.


I'm only seeing one volume -- on Amazon, Bookwalker, and Takarajimasha's own site.
