On Tuesday, it was announced on Kadokawa's Dengeki Online website that Taiki Kawakami's manga adaptation of Fuse and Mitz Vahs The time I was reincarnated as a slime would end in its 32nd volume, scheduled to ship on June 9. This has since been confirmed by Dengeki Online to be incorrect, with the platform issuing a brief apology and explanation of how such an error occurred.
The upcoming 32nd volume of the manga will include bonus content, including a pamphlet of the 133rd chapter, “The Daemon's Whispers.” For context, the third season of the anime was adapted to around chapter 110, with the fourth season currently airing most likely to depict the events of chapter 133, which was part of the previously compiled volume 31 of That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime, which hit shelves in February.

About the time I was reincarnated as a slime
That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime is a fantasy isekai about a Japanese man who is murdered during a robbery and reincarnates as a slime monster in a world of magic and dragons. With slime's overwhelming ability to assimilate anything it consumes, as well as the gift of gab, “Rimuru Tempest” gains a host of unlikely allies, including the powerful storm dragon and ruler of the region known as Tempest, Veldora. The manga adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime has been published in Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Sirius magazine since March 2015 and has since spawned seven spin-off manga.
Kawakami's manga is also the basis for the TV anime produced by Studio 8bit which premiered in October 2018 and is currently airing its fourth season. The series also has two feature films, the first of which was released in November 2022, with the latest film, Tears of the Azure Sea, premiering in February. The time I was reincarnated as a slime: Tears of the Azure Sea is set to hit theaters in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland on May 1 and will be available with English subtitles or English dubbed.
