Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story:
Office worker Akira Yagami’s altruistic nature usually gets him the short end of the stick. When he dies after saving a kid from oncoming traffic…he reincarnates in another world as a goblin?! Normally, goblins only live for seven days, but Akira’s newfound powers let him defy the species’ normal life span…and are the key to his path to becoming the strongest goblin ever!
The manga launched on Shueisha’s Tonari no Young Jump website in 2020. Shueisha will publish the manga’s 14th compiled book volume on March 18. Yen Press will publish the 10th volume in English on May 26.
