The good-natured office worker Akira Yagami usually gets the short end of the stick. When he saves a child from a speeding car and dies in the process, he is reborn in another world – as a goblin.
Although goblins usually only have a lifespan of seven days, his extraordinary powers allow him to live longer and pave the way for him to become the most powerful goblin of all time.
