A Tokyo salaryman's unremarkable life takes a sharp turn when he's stabbed in the street and wakes up reincarnated as a slime creature in a fantasy world. Armed with the ability to absorb and replicate anything he consumes, he builds unlikely alliances and slowly reshapes the world around him under his new name, Rimuru Tempest. Lighthearted yet surprisingly thoughtful, this series offers a fresh look at what it means to start over from scratch.
