That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Ends Spin-Off Due to Artist's Health

The Ways of Monster Nation is coming to a close thanks to some unfortunate circumstances.

Isekai anime has become a hot ticket item in recent years when it comes to all things anime, and That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime is a top example of the genre. Focusing on a protagonist who finds themselves transported to a magical world where they are forced to start from the ground floor as a monstrous slime, the franchise became popular enough to receive spin-off series. Unfortunately, it would seem that the popular spin-off, "The Ways of Monster Nation", has come to an end due to the creator's health issues.

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime has garnered some big spin-off series in its time, though Monster Nation was considered by many manga readers as one of the best. The series first began in 2016 and created a handful of volumes to explore new parts of the Isekai world. With the Isekai recently starting its third season, it's unfortunate that this spin-off won't receive a proper ending and here's hoping that creator Okagiri Koharu is able to overcome their health issues.

But this time around, she's got her hands full with outlandish requests from Rimuru Tempest himself! Between escorting some terrifying demons around town, high-stakes aquatic activities, and even war on the horizon, Framea's doing all she can just to keep up. One thing is certain: Life in Tempest is anything but boring!"
