I’m the kind of person who labels shelves by series, so I like neat numbers: by mid‑2024 the mainline 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' light novel series had 20 numbered Japanese volumes. That’s the meat of Rimuru’s tale.

That said, if you’re picky about completing your collection, remember there are also various side books and short story volumes that expand on characters and events (sometimes numbered as specials or given subtitles rather than plain numbers). Those extras mean the full family of books tied to 'Tensura' is larger than just 20. If you need translations or volume-by-volume release info, publisher sites like Micro Magazine (Japan) or Yen Press (English) are the best places to confirm what’s out in your language.

I like quick, practical answers when I’m deciding what to buy: count on 20 main volumes for the original 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' light novel series as of mid‑2024. Add several spin‑offs and short story collections if you want absolutely everything, which pushes the total into the mid‑20s. If you’re collecting in English, releases may lag behind the Japanese editions, so check the publisher or your favorite retailer for the most current listings.

I still get a little giddy whenever I pull a 'Tensura' volume off the shelf, so here's the clearest way I can put it: as of mid‑2024 the original Japanese light novel series 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' runs to about 20 main volumes (Vol. 1–20). On top of those there are several extra/side volumes — short story collections, special volumes, and spin‑offs — which bump the total up if you're counting everything connected to the main continuity.

If you only want the core, mainline story, count the numbered volumes (those 1–20). If you want every little tie‑in — short story compilations, author extras, and spin‑off collections like the ones that expand on side characters and worldbuilding — you should expect several more books (bringing the broader collection into the mid‑20s). English releases trail the Japanese schedule, so depending on where you live you might not see all volumes translated yet. For the absolute latest check the publisher's page or major book retailers, but for a bingeable main story, those ~20 volumes are the ones to grab first.

When is the next English tensura light novel volume released?

I was just scrolling through my bookshelf and mentally lining up which 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' books I still need to finish when this question popped into my head — perfect timing. To be straight with you, I don’t have a confirmed release date past June 2024 for the next official English light novel volume. Publishers sometimes announce dates months in advance or drop them with a short preorder window, so it's easy to miss if you're not watching the right places. If you want the quickest route to a firm date, follow the publisher's social accounts and sign up for newsletters from big retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Right Stuf. Those preorders will usually show the release date as soon as it’s set. I also keep an eye on BookWalker for digital releases — they sometimes list release windows earlier than physical stores. And don’t forget local bookstores; my indie shop often posts release posters a week or two before the official street date. On a fan-to-fan note: if the series is on a slight delay, check for omnibus editions or special editions, and keep an eye on related spin-offs like 'Slime Diaries' for smaller, quicker releases. It’s a bummer to wait, but hunting down preorder notifications has become a little ritual for me — part impatience, part thrill. If you want, tell me which volume you’ve read up to and I’ll help track the exact next one for you.

Which publisher prints the official tensura light novel volumes?

Whenever I pull a copy of 'Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken' off my shelf I always check that little logo near the spine — the official Japanese light novel volumes are printed by Micro Magazine under their GC Novels imprint. That’s the publisher that took the web novel by Fuse and turned it into the glossy, illustrated volumes collectors love. The books usually credit Fuse as the author and Mitz Vah as the illustrator, and you’ll often see the GC Novels mark somewhere on the cover or the spine. If you’re hunting for English versions, they’ve been licensed for release outside Japan too — Yen Press handles the English light novel publications, so their editions will carry Yen Press branding and translated text. The series also spun off into several manga adaptations and side stories, so if you’re mixing and matching formats it’s handy to verify the imprint so you don’t accidentally buy a fan print or an unofficial collection. I tend to buy new volumes to support the creators and to enjoy the crisp translations and quality paper; plus it’s satisfying to have a matching set with consistent covers. If you want the real deal, check the ISBN and the publisher logo on the copyright page — those are the quickest giveaways. Happy reading, and may your next volume arrive with no bent corners!

Who is the author of the tensura light novel series?

Funny thing — I was halfway through a late-night reread on my phone when someone on the train asked what I was laughing at. That’s how I usually tell the story of 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' to new fans: the voice that hooked me isn’t the anime alone, it’s the writing. The light novel series was written by Fuse, who originally posted the story online before it became an officially published light novel. Fuse uses a single-name pen name and keeps a low public profile, which always made the mystique around the series feel a little extra special to me. Beyond Fuse, the novels are visually shaped by Mitz Vah’s illustrations — those character designs and little expressions made scenes stick in my head long after I turned the page. The shift from web novel to light novel tightened the pacing in places and polished up some worldbuilding, but the core charm — the dry humor, Rimuru’s surprisingly cozy leadership vibes, and those awkwardly wholesome village-building moments — is pure Fuse. If you like world-building that can swing from epic battles to domestic bakery scenes in the span of a chapter, that’s very much Fuse’s lane, and it’s why I keep coming back to this series with a mug of tea and zero regrets.

How many volumes are in Meionovel Tensura?

Oh, 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' (or 'Tensura' for short) has been such a wild ride! Last I checked, the light novel series was sitting at 21 volumes in Japan, with the English translations catching up steadily. I love how Fuse keeps expanding the world—each volume adds deeper lore, new characters, and insane power-ups for Rimuru. The way the story balances politics, battles, and slice-of-life moments is just chef's kiss. I remember binge-reading up to volume 18 in a weekend and feeling so drained yet hyped afterward. The spin-offs like 'Trinity in Tempest' are also worth mentioning if you’re craving more Tensura content. Honestly, it’s one of those series where the length feels justified because there’s always something fresh happening.
