Synopsis
Satoru Mikami is a 37-year-old dude who spends his days living a salaryman’s life. A truly average person, Satoru blends into the background, doesn’t touch grass, and is #foreversingle. But when an attacker tries to stab his friend (must…resist..London…joke), Satoru-kun bravely gives up his life to defend his tomodachi. The only thing he asks in return is that his computer’s history be deleted so no one sees his elf porn. That kindness and relatability work to his advantage, as his actions give him a chance to start over in another world. But instead of becoming a hero who’s bound to defeat the Demon King, when Satoru is reborn as a slime, he decides he’s not about that life. So he befriends a calamity-level dragon, names a few demi-humans, starts a town, and becomes a Demon Lord. Truly, a man slime who decides his own future.
Crunchyroll streams all the TenSura anime adaptations.
