That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is not slowing down. Volume 32 of the manga shipped June 9 and sold 270,780 copies, topping Oricon's monthly comic ranking for June 2026 — outselling the final volume of Chainsaw Man and the latest Dan Da Dan. Nine years into the franchise, the slime is still the biggest isekai on the shelf, and the fourth anime season is airing right now.
Quick answer
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Japanese: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken) streams on Crunchyroll, subtitled and dubbed, with all four seasons available. The 4th season is animated by 8-bit and airing through 2026. According to SenpaiRanks, the franchise peaks with Season 2 at 8.30 adjusted on the ranking board, while Season 1 holds 7.99 and the current 4th season sits at 7.69 as votes come in. If you want the honest read on whether it holds up, SenpaiRanks scores it on two axes — Consensus (how broadly liked) and Quality (how well it holds up).
Why the manga still tops charts
Oricon's June 2026 numbers tell the story. Slime Volume 32 led with 270,780 copies (Kodansha), ahead of Chainsaw Man Volume 24 — the series finale — at 151,140 and Dan Da Dan Volume 24 at 122,830. Fuse's light-novel-turned-manga has outlasted most of its 2018 isekai peers, and the anime's staying power is a big reason the source keeps moving units. Art is by Taiki Kawakami; character designs by Mitz Vah.

Where to watch
Slime is a Crunchyroll title — every season, subbed and dubbed, lives there. That's the platform-neutral truth: unlike a Crunchyroll-first landing page, we'll tell you plainly that this one genuinely is Crunchyroll's, with no Netflix or Hulu split to chase. Start with Season 1 if you're new, then roll into Season 2 — the franchise high point — before catching the current 4th season. Building a fall queue? Our best anime to watch in 2026 hub ranks it against the rest of the slate.
Is it good? The dual-axis read
Here's where SenpaiRanks answers a question a single MyAnimeList number can't. Per SenpaiRanks, Slime Season 2 lands at 8.30 on the ranking board — its Consensus and Quality lines both agree it's the franchise's strongest run. Season 1 (7.99) is the easiest entry point; the newer seasons trend a touch lower as the story widens into nation-building. Think it deserves higher? Rate it yourself on its ranking page — your score moves where it lands versus the crowd, which is the whole point of the board. Fans of the genre should also weigh Dan Da Dan, Blue Lock, and Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun.
