content

A Japanese schoolgirl suddenly wakes up in the midst of countless giant spiders crawling out of her eggs and discovers that she is one of those spiders herself. Your class was killed in an explosion and has now been reborn as spiders in this other world. The girl has to find her way around quickly in this world and with her body, because her conspecifics are already eating one another or being attacked by a gigantic spider. She escapes and has to learn to hunt her food herself. In doing so, she learns that her body can acquire new skills by eating or fighting and that she rises in her level. After all, she also meets people - who are hardly bigger than her - and against whom the spider also has to fight to survive. Although she still led a withdrawn life as a schoolgirl, she now resolves to give everything to survive.
