Summary:

Mikami’s life hasn’t gone as planned – or hoped. Unfortunately, his life was a fair bit shorter than expected. The one bit of good news is that he woke up in a new world. The strange news? He’s now a slime.

An old evil has risen, heading right to Rimuru’s people. Charybdis is an ancient evil – and even Rimuru isn’t certain how the battle will go. Yet the battle must be fought. This is the life of leadership.

Review:

Whenever I think I have a solid understanding of the power levels in this series, something throws it all into whack. That statement is more accurate than ever, thanks to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 8.

There’s a lot that happens in this volume. Most of it happens to revolve around the central battle, though there are a few additional subplots to keep in mind. I still have questions about power levels and social dynamics, but the more I read, the more confident I am that those questions will be answered at some point.

That said, the battle did a great job laying out all the power levels for the current group. Again, given the style, I know these levels will change (grow), but it’s still nice to see, right? Also, I’m looking forward to seeing how the human-centric plot goes.

Highlights:

• Isekai
• Reincarnation
