森林王者モリキング

Third-grader Shouta Aikawa, a boy who loves insects, has been raising a rhinoceros beetle larva he named Moriking. After two months, the larva undergoes a miraculous transformation. Instead of becoming a beetle, it evolves into a handsome human being. Moriking is revealed to be an Insect King, a being born once every hundred million years, and Shouta is recognized as his savior and owner.

Moriking's goal is to undergo a trial to become the true king ruling over all insects. To achieve this, he must venture into the wider world and survive. Despite initial reluctance from his family, especially his older sister Shouko, the Aikawas ultimately decide to welcome the humanoid beetle into their home.

However, a great challenge awaits them. To become the lord of the forest, Moriking must defeat the four other candidate kings vying for the same title. The Aikawa family finds themselves tasked with helping their extraordinary new family member in his royal struggle for insect supremacy.
