Considering the fact that Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is ranked #1 in sales among LNs without anime adaptation for the last half a year as we can see, not to mention that its manga adaptation is so successful that it actually manages to compete with all the popular shounen stuff and can keep a manga volume within top 50 sales for 3 whole weeks, accumulating over 300k manga volume sales within these 3 weeks (which might actually make its manga adaptation more commercially successful than the LN), I find it very odd that this series seems so low key at the present, almost as if it didn't even exist. I wonder why.
