What kind of work is the anime “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life”?
Yoshino Somei, the granddaughter of the boss of the Kansai gang Somei-gumi, is beautiful beyond belief for a 17-year-old. However, because of her family background, she stands out and has never made friends. Somei-gumi forms a brotherhood with the rival Kanto gang Sikka, and Yoshino becomes engaged to Miyama Kirishima, the granddaughter of the Tikka.
Kirishima appears to be a refreshing and friendly young man, but after a particular incident, Yoshino sees Kirishima’s true nature.
The series is based on Asuka Konishi’s manga of the same name, which is currently being serialized in Kodansha’s Monthly Afternoon magazine. Before the anime aired, the total number of copies published exceeded 2.8 million.

“I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life” will also be distributed online. The all-you-can-watch pre-release will be available on Prime Video (Amazon Prime) from October 7, 2024, every Monday from 11:30 pm.
For other video streaming services, the series will be available on various streaming platforms such as ABEMA, Netflix, and U-NEXT from October 12, 2024, every Saturday from 11:30 pm onwards.
In addition, the Kansai Prologue of the anime “In the Next Life, I Want Someone Else” was released on Prime Video from Saturday, September 28 to Sunday, September 29, 2024. The Kansai Prologue is an hour-long special video depicting the popular episodes in Osaka from the original work.
How can I watch it for free?
On the ABEMA streaming page for the first episode of “I Want Someone Else in the Next Life,” it is scheduled to air on October 12, 2024, at 11:30 pm, and states, “You can watch it for free for seven days after the broadcast ends” (as of October 8, 2024). If there are no changes from the second episode onwards, you can latch the missed episodes for free on ABEMA.
How many episodes does the anime “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life” have? How much of the original story does it cover?
As of October 2024, it is unclear how many episodes the anime series “I Want to Be Someone Else in the Next Life” will have.
Anime works are generally produced with 11 to 13 episodes for one season and 20 to 24 episodes for two seasons. Since more anime are produced in one season than two seasons, it seems likely that “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life” will also be made in one season.
If “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life” were to be a one-season series, it would likely be 11 to 13 episodes in total, like other anime series.
How many volumes of the original manga will it cover?
As of the time the anime aired, eight volumes of the original manga for “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life” had been published.
In recent years, when manga works are adapted into anime, the content of about four to five volumes is visualized in one season. Since the final episode of anime often ends at a good point, if “I Want to Be Someone Else” is one season, the content up to the 21st chapter of the fifth volume of the manga, which is a good stopping point for the story, will likely be adapted.
Who are the voice actors for the anime “I’d Rather Be Someone Else in the Next Life”?
