So, we really like this anime (Shion is such waifu material), and I decided to start collecting the manga for it as well as a result.
Now, of course that'll mean that in the beginning, it will be paralel running to what I already saw, but usually there are some serious nuances.
Like in the beginning of this volume, as our hero, while still alive, didn`t actually like his co-worker that came to introduce his fiancee to him, feeling he was mocking him for being a 37 year old virgin still.
As he gets subsequently stabbed, he reincarnates as a slime as such, and meets the dragon Veldora. Putting him in his stomach to free him later on, he gradually aquires more skills as he kills monsters, before setting out into the world and meeting a tribe of goblins.
These ask for his help, as they are threatened by Dire Wolves now that the Storm Dragon guarding the forest area has seemingly vanished. Rimuru defeats the pack leader and now becomes the new ruler of both the goblins and dire wolves. As he starts naming them, he learns that monsters ordinarily have no name, but by granting them one they evolve into a higher form. After setting some ground rules to his new followers, he embarks on a mission to establish trade with the neighbouring country of Dwargon, home of the dwarves.
Upon arrival, they are incarcerated but quickly set free due to a misunderstanding, and Rimuru helps out injured miners with his potion skill. After helping the master blacksmith Kaijin, circumstances lead to them appearing before the dwarven king... on trial!
The volume ends with a novelized short story of Veldora, and how he "sees" the events unfold from within Rimuru's stomach, a fun read indead.
A lovely first volume, as fun as the anime was, and I`ll definitly be collecting all the remaining issues as well!
