The Reincarnated As A Slime 10th anniversary initiatives will also include a brand new short story written by series' creator Fuse, with a companion manga adaptation being done by Yuzo Takada, the author of the classic 3X3 Eyes series, that will be serialized in Monthly Shonen Sirius. Taking the name of Rimuru Tempest and through a mix of his human cunning and the natural abilities he is reborn with, the protagonist manages to become one of the most powerful monsters in the world, a Demon Lord, and build a prosperous kingdom called Tempest where monsters and other races can coexist in peace. Satoru, however, is not reborn as a mighty warrior but as the lowest of monsters, a slime.
In the story, Japanese corporate worker Mikami Satoru gets randomly stabbed in the street and dies, only to be reincarnated in a fantasy world.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime is one of the most successful and influential series in the popular Isekai genre, which started as a light novel and spanned into a manga and anime franchise.
