In connection with the ongoing broadcast of the third season of the TV anime "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" (published by GC Novels), the first-ever educational manga for elementary school students has been released as part of Kodansha's "Learning Through Manga Series." "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Learning About the Human Body" was released on July 23.
This work is a media mix based on the web novel serialized on the site "Shōsetsuka ni Narō." The manga adaptation began in 2015 in Monthly Shōnen Sirius, and the series has exceeded 45 million copies in circulation worldwide.
"That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" is popular among elementary school students, and a "Children's Edition" has been published by Micro Magazine. This broad appeal has led to the creation of this educational manga.
This educational manga leverages the popular world of the series to explain the workings of the human body in an easy-to-understand manner for elementary school students. The entire book is structured with anime illustrations, human body diagrams, and columns to enhance understanding.
Furthermore, Kento Yamamoto, a surgical specialist and medical doctor who is also the author of the bestseller "The Wonderful Human Body" and has many followers on social media, supervised the medical aspects, ensuring professional accuracy. The series will continue with "Learning About Insects" and "Learning About AI" scheduled for release in September.
