That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 9 (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, #9)

by Fuse

Taiki Kawakami (Artist) and Mitz Vah (Designer)

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 elves and magic, he's a little disappointed to find he's become a blind, boneless slime monster.

RIMURU THE DIPLOMAT

At the suggestion of Demon Lord Carrion, Tempest and Eurazania have sent delegations to each other in the hopes of finding fruitful exchange. Benimaru leads the mission from Tempest, and from Eurazania is a party led by Albis the Golden Serpent. It seems as though trade might begin to flourish, until the members of Eurazania's delegation bristle at Rimuru. Can our gelatinous hero manage to get on their good side and be the glue to form a friendly bond between two nations...?

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.

Rimuru never really planned on becoming a leader for so many people. He certainly didn't sign up to be a diplomat! Unfortunately, it's the nature of the job – and he's quickly learning. While some tasks may be delegated, others must be dealt with personally.

Review:

If you've been wanting to see more of the towns/cities in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, this volume is perfect for you! Not only does Rimuru have to travel around a lot, but it gives us the chance for a few one-on-ones with different characters.

Honestly, so much happens in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 9 that it's hard to believe it's all one volume. You'd think they would have split the different visits into different volumes. That said, I'm not complaining either. It made for a different feel for this volume – a sort of Rimuru-traveling-the-world vibe.

I still don't know how I feel about the human adventurers. I don't hate them. But they feel...hollow? Maybe more time with them will help, though I don't know. I'll have to keep reading to find out. Oh! Maybe they translate better in the anime? Hrmmm.
