Manga Volume 1

Manga Volume 1 is the first volume of the manga adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Synopsis
NEW QUEST

As players of Monster Hunter and Dungeons & Dragons know, the slime is not exactly the king of the fantasy monsters. So when a 37-year-old Tokyo salaryman dies and wakes up in a world of dragons and magic, they’re a little disappointed to find out they've become a blind, boneless slime monster.

Mikami's middle age hasn’t gone as he planned: He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in a dead-end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he’s disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he’s not a knight or a wizard but a blind slime. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero…

Afterword
"That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime began its life as a novel on the Internet, and now it's actually got its own manga adaptation! So I thought I'd reflect on some of the challenges of turning it into a visual format... Late last year, I had my first meeting with Kawakami-sensei. At this meeting we did our planning, and also had to do signings for a giveaway, which was a difficult set of circumstances—not that I'm complaining. We settled on two main issues for the manga. The first problem was the protagonist's sense of vision at the start of the story. Not having eyes wasn't a big deal in a text novel, but it's a major issue for a manga. Thankfully, Kawakami-sensei cleared that hurdle with flying colors! His depiction of the senses unfolding worked wonders. It's the exact sort of touch that can only be done in the manga format, and never in a novel. The other problem was that the start of the story features very few characters. Yes, there are monsters, of course, but you just don't see any human characters. In other words, there's no female lead! It's quite possible not to have a "heroine" in the traditional sense, but not having any female characters whatsoever is a problem. There's no beauty in the manga. All we have are slimes, goblins, wolves, dwarves... I began to worry: is this story actually extremely unsuited to a visual medium?! Thankfully, the cute way that Kawakami-sensei drew our slime managed to assuage my fears a bit. I'm certain it won't take any time at all for the readers to forget that our hero was a grown man in their previous life... So for a manga for boys, this first volume hardly had any cute girls. It's my hope that Rimuru's slimy cuteness got us through that difficulty. Nothing would make me happier than for you to continue following along with Rimuru's adventures. And with that, my afterword is finished. Please check out the next volume of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!!"
