Heat the Pig Liver anime adaptation revealed a new trailer and key visual earlier today. Project No.9 is animating the series, which will premiere in October. The new trailer also features the opening theme song “Watashi ga Warau Wake ha” by ASCA and ending “Hitorijanaiyo” by Myuk.
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Kirito in Sword Art Online, Inosuke in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) will be voicing the titular Pig, while Tomori Kusunoki (Makima in Chainsaw Man) is voicing Jess. Miyu Tomita and Kento Ito will also be featured in the anime as Ceres and Nott.
The Buta no Liver (Heat the Pig Liver: The Story of a Man Turned Into a Pig, Butareba) story is based on an isekai light novel written by Takuma Sakai and illustrated by Asagi Tohsaka. The light novel began serialization in 2020, and a manga adaptation is currently ongoing as well.
The plot follows an unappealing otaku who reincarnates as a pig, after passing out while eating raw pig liver. In the new world, he meets Jess, a girl who can read minds. Jess accepts him for who he is, but she does plan on eating him eventually. However, she is in danger, and Pig is the only one who can save her while using his new skillset which includes a refined sense of smell.
