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.
