Abstract: We use the theory of Tambara modules to extend and generalize the reconstruction theorem for module categories over a rigid monoidal category to the non-rigid case. We show a biequivalence between the $2$-category of cyclic module categories over a monoidal category $mathscrC$ and the bicategory of algebra and bimodule objects in the category of Tambara modules on $mathscrC$. Using it, we prove that a cyclic module category can be reconstructed as the category of certain free module objects in the category of Tambara modules on $mathscrC$, and give a sufficient condition for its reconstructability as module objects in $mathscrC$. To that end, we extend the definition of the Cayley functor to the non-closed case, and show that Tambara modules give a proarrow equipment for $mathscrC$-module categories, in which $mathscrC$-module functors are characterized as $1$-morphisms admitting a right adjoint. Finally, we show that the $2$-category of all $mathscrC$-module categories embeds into the $2$-category of categories enriched in Tambara modules on $mathscrC$, giving an action via enrichment result.
