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