![]() ![]() Interestingly, even when Rimuru becomes able to take on a human form te chooses to remain genderless. ![]() ![]() You'll note that 'te' and 'ter' pronouns, and that's because, as a slime, Rimuru is genderless (although with the memories and general feelings of a late-thirties het Japanese man). The story for quite a period turns into what I've heard described as an attempt at a cultural victory in the game Civilization as Rimuru spends ter time establishing and improving a village for ter new goblin friends and allies. Rimuru then turns convention on its head by running around befriending and allying almost everyone te meets, including goblins, dire wolves, dwarves, ogres and lizard people. ![]() As the title immediately shows, te is also a slime (a standard normally low-level fantasy monster). 'Slime' goes all in on this concept only in so far as 'Rimuru' is spectacularly power in the world te is reborn into. This is an 'isekai' (other world) manga/anime (tremendously popular at the moment), and it follows one of the standard conventions of the sub-genre - 'regular' person goes to/is trapped in/is reborn in another world, where he (almost always he) is spectacularly powerful. Eight volumes are available in translation, and there's also an anime series (which is where I started). ![]()
