Description
When I reincarnated, I became a pig! But if I get a cute girl to take care of me, this kind of adventure doesn’t sound bad at all. I’m an ordinary otaku who lost consciousness after eating raw pig liver. Just when I figured that I was reincarnated into another world, I discovered I became a pig! While I was collapsed inside a pigpen, Jess, a girl who can read people’s minds, helped me out. Oink! She’s cute! From a pig’s perspective, I could catch a glimpse of something underneath her skirt hem. It was white… “Um, I can hear your thoughts…” Oh crap! My desires are being exposed! “If that is your wish, just a peek is okay.” Eh, what…?! A life where an innocent girl takes care of me and accepts (albeit a bit taken aback) my beast-like desires. Yeah, it’s not so bad being a pig. This was supposed to be our oink-oink-like grand adventure, but… Hey Jess, why is your life being targeted? Now, this pig with no magic or skills must use his knowledge, wits, and sense of smell to save this girl from her cruel fate!

My Thoughts on Heat the Pig Liver
"Heat the Pig Liver"? The title alone made me raise an eyebrow, but I dove in, and I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's one of those series that completely subverts your expectations.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise of an isekai where the protagonist is literally a pig seemed… questionable. I've seen my fair share of overpowered MCs, so I was ready for another one. However, this novel takes a different route, focusing on the pig's intellect and resourcefulness to overcome challenges. It’s a refreshing change of pace.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the pig (who apparently has some rather colorful inner thoughts) and Jess, the seemingly pure female lead, is fantastic. Their chemistry is genuinely heartwarming, and the way their relationship develops feels natural. The pig isn't some chosen one with magical abilities; he's just a pig trying to survive using his wits. This makes his problem-solving all the more engaging.
I also appreciate the depth given to even minor characters. The author seems to care about giving everyone a purpose and respecting their individual stories, even if their time on the page is limited. The world itself feels alive, with its own history and culture subtly woven into the narrative.
Areas of Concern
I will admit, the ecchi elements sprinkled throughout the story are a bit of a sticking point for me. While they don't dominate the narrative, they sometimes feel unnecessary and tonally inconsistent with the more serious moments. However, they do seem to serve a purpose in adding levity and facilitating interaction between the main characters, so I can't complain too much.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Heat the Pig Liver" is a surprisingly compelling read. It's a unique take on the isekai genre with well-developed characters, a fascinating world, and a protagonist who relies on brains over brawn. Despite my minor reservations about the ecchi elements, I found myself thoroughly entertained and eagerly anticipating future volumes. I recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something different and are willing to embrace the absurdity of a pig protagonist.
