The staff for the television anime of Kogitsune Kanekiru's Re:Monster light novel series announced on Thursday that the series will get a second season.

The novels' anime adaptation premiered in April 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streamed the same-day English dub. Kanekiru initially posted the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website. AlphaPolis published the first volume in 2012, and the ninth volume in 2017. Yamaada illustrates the novels. Hanashi Media will publish the novels in English.
AlphaPolis serializes Haruyoshi Kobayakawa's ongoing manga adaptation monthly on its website, and will release the 13th compiled book volume on Friday. Seven Seas publishes the manga adaptation, and will publish the 12th volume in English in January 2026. Seven Seas describes the manga's story:
Tomokui Kanata has suffered an early death, but his adventures are far from over. He is reborn into a fantastical world of swords and magic-- as a lowly goblin! Not content to let this stop him, the now renamed “Rou” uses his new physical abilities and his old memories to plow ahead in a world where consuming other creatures allows him to acquire their strengths and powers.The series also inspired a smartphone game of the same name where players take on the role of a goblin. The game launched on Android and iOS in February 2016.
