Seven Seas Entertainment’s synopsis:
Reincarnated as a sentient weapon with memories of his past life, but not his name, a magical sword saves a young beastgirl from a life of slavery. Fran, the cat-eared girl, becomes his wielder, and wants only to grow stronger, while the sword wants to know why he is here. Together, the strange duo’s journey has only just begun!
In addition, it began publication through the publisher Micro Magazine in July 2016. Volume 12 releases today in Japan on September 24. The series has a spin-off manga by Hinako Inoue. There is also a direct manga adaptation by Tomowo Maruyama, which is published through Gentosha’s Comic Boost service.
Among many long isekai titles lately, this hits different. While not long, it does make you wonder how far a sword will go. The non-readers will have to wait for the Reincarnated as a Sword anime, so let’s wait for some details. Meanwhile, you can check the 5 isekai coming in Fall 2021!
