Digital publishing company J-Novel Club announced on Thursday that it has licensed author Nyun and illustrator Sakana's Me, a Genius? I Was Reborn into Another World and I Think They've Got the Wrong Idea! (Isekai ni Tensei Shitandakedo Ore, Tensai tte Kanchigai Saretenai?) light novel series. The first four parts of the first volume are available for members to read now, and non-members can read the first part for free. J-Novel Club will release an e-Book of the first volume in April.

J-Novel Club describes the story:

Kouki has found himself reborn, together with many of his past-life memories, in an alternate version of Japan. “There are no magic or elves?! Then what's the point of being reborn in another world?” It seems a little disappointing at first, but somehow his childhood sketches inspire his mother to develop a revolutionary new theory that changes the world forever. This sets into motion a series of misunderstandings that has everyone believing that Kouki is the real genius behind all of the incredible new technology that his mother is rapidly developing. As a result of his apparent genius, Kouki is forced to give up on his peaceful school life to attend the International Science and Technology Academy, where he meets a beautiful Canadian girl called Alice Alford, a robotics engineer named Shingo Saitou, and an expert on space exploration named Megumi Aikawa. Surely, he can't still continue being mistaken for a genius while surrounded by these real geniuses?! Every time Kouki uses his knowledge from his past life, it causes a new misunderstanding, and his ordinary life is gradually turning into an extraordinary life. Kouki can't help but go from one misunderstanding to another in this insane sci-fi comedy!!

Overlap began publishing the series in August 2015, and it published the third novel in August 2016.
