Me, a Genius? tells the story of Kouki, who finds himself reborn in another world that is an alternate version of Japan. He soon finds out in disappointment that there is no magic or elves in this world, but since he was reborn with his past-life memories, some sketches he drew in his childhood make his mother develop a revolutionary new theory that changes the world forever. Like this, everyone suddenly thinks that Kouki is a genius. As a result, he is forced to give up his peaceful school life and has to attend the International Science and Technology Academy, where he meets the beautiful Canadian girl Alice Alford, a robotics engineer named Shingo Saitou, and an expert on space exploration named Megumi Aikawa. Since he now is in contact with these real geniuses, they can’t still mistake him for one of them, right!? But every time Kouki uses his knowledge from his past life, it causes a new misunderstanding and his life gradually turns into a very extraordinary one.

This hilarious sci-fi comedy is written by Nyun and illustrated by Sakana. It has been completed in 3 volumes, which came out in Japan between 2015-2016.
