Phoenix Gramedia, the new publishing joint venture between Kadokawa and Gramedia, announced on Tuesday that it has licensed author Okina Baba and illustrator Tsukasa Kiryu's So I'm a Spider, So What? (Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?) novels.

Phoenix Gramedia describes the story:

“Aku”, yang seharusnya seorang gadis SMA, tiba-tiba terlahir kembali sebagai monster laba-laba di dunia lain!? Meskipun berhasil melarikan diri dari induk laba-laba yang kanibal, aku berakhir di dungeon terburuk yang dihuni katak beracun, ular raksasa, monyet raksasa, dan bahkan naga…? Dapatkah “aku”, yang cuma seekor laba-laba mungil bertahan hidup di sarang monster ini…? Tidak masuk akal, bukan!!? Siapa pun dalang dari semua ini, TUNJUKKAN DIRIMUUUUUU!!!!

Baba launched the novel series on the "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" website in May 2015. Kadokawa published the 16th and final novel volume in January 2022. The series ranked #2 on the list of best novels in the 2018 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! (This Light Novel Is Amazing!) guidebook, and ranked #3 on the 2017 list.

Asahiro Kakashi's manga adaptation runs on Young Ace Up, and Kadokawa published the 14th compiled book volume on April 9. Phoenix Gramedia is also releasing the manga in Indonesia, and released the second volume on September 27.

The television anime of the novels premiered in January 2021.
