Butareba -The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig- (Manga) Series

A run-of-the-mill otaku collapses from stomach pain after eating raw pig liver and wakes up in a whole new world—as a pig, of all things! He’s helplessly trapped in his pen until Jess, a girl who can read minds, rescues him. Our porcine hero will have to work to keep his boar-ish thoughts to himself. But sweet Jess isn’t deterred. In fact, she wants to spoil this little piggy rotten! By her side, it seems like life as a hog might not be so bad after all! For our pig protagonist to transform back into a human, he must head to the capital and appeal to the king. Jess offers to go with him, kicking off the start of their cutesy, fluffy adventure! But while preparing for their journey, what seems like a harmless shopping trip quickly gets out of hand, revealing the dark side of this world hidden beneath its peaceful facade. What can a mere pig with no special powers do to protect his angelic savior?

One shocking revelation after another strikes our porcine hero, peeling back the seemingly innocuous layers of the world of Mesteria to reveal its hidden cruelty. The Yethma status has more to it than meets the eye, as Mister Pig learns the hard way when Jess is put in grave danger. Luckily, they get a chance for some rest and relaxation during their journey to the capital. At a village, the duo encounters another Yethma girl, Ceres, who possesses gorgeous legs that Mister Pig can’t stop admiring, as well as the handsome huntsman Naut, who makes Mister Pig bristle with catlike wariness. A simple stay in the village turns out to be more trouble than expected, and our hog hero must decide how far he’ll go to protect Jess.
