10 Best Manga Where MC is Reincarnated as a Different Species
In most reincarnation manga and light novels, the MC is reincarnated as a human with either some kind of cheat ability or a super-powerful system. But, sometimes you want to see something different like a non-human protagonist. You might be familiar with this concept from watching That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime.
There are some great reincarnation manga where the MC isn’t reincarnated as a human. In some of these manga, the MC gets reincarnated as a creature like a dragon or a wolf, but I’ve also included manga where MC is reincarnated as an object like a sword.
There’s even a manga where the MC is reincarnated as a Vending Machine, like WTF!!!
So, today, let’s look at the 10 Best Manga Where MC is Reincarnated as a Different Species.
