Anime adaptation coming October 2018!

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.

Mikami's middle age hasn't gone as he planned—He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in a dead-end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So, when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he's disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he's not a knight or a wizard, but a blind slime demon.

But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero...
