That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Trinity in Tempest by Tae Tono is a cute mange fille with loveable characters. This is also a side-story to the main one in case you don't know when you read this manga. This series is from Pho's point of view and it's quite easy to follow. The art is cute and beautiful in the manga which makes it enjoyable to read.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for giving me this opportunity to read this advanced reader's copy.

A very cute, very funny manga and a great bonus for the readers of the original manga. Strong 3,5 stars.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Trinity in Tempest felt like an add-on and it is one too. It's a side story to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and it looks at Tempest from a different angle. Basically perfect for fans of the original manga, but for others it cannot really offer anything, since you'd have to know the characters to understand this. This part mostly centers around Phos, who's a fox-like girl wanting to find her place in Tempest. She meets the dragon girl Stella, who wants to become an amazing cook for the demon she worships and also a sleepy winged girl named Nemu. Basically the manga consists of small occurrences in their lives in the city and nothing else. In a sense cute, but quite bland, really.

The art looks nice and lively and works extremely well with the short stories. The manga is harmless and perhaps fun even, but it's not my cup of tea. For the fans of the series this surely is a spot-on and that's always great. This is also cute, which is nice. So, an easy read and works for younger readers too as this is shounen and the original is seinen.

A very fun story with loveable characters

I am surprised by how much I liked this one. This series is a side story to the main story “That time I got reincarnated as a slime”. We follow the story, not from Rimuru’s point of view like in the amin story, but from Phos’ view. As I haven’t read the main story, I thought I was going to be confused but turns out, not at all. Of course, I am missing information as to the story about Rimuru and others but it didn’t make the story confusing.
It was really fun to read. The characters are all very cute and fun. Especially Nemu, I love Nemu. The drawing style is beautiful and just made my reading experience ten times better. The manga doesn’t really end on a suspenseful note but I still want to know what is going to happen and what Phos is going to find. Hence, I will read the second volume as soon as I have the opportunity to. I recommend this manga, especially if you’ve read the main series.

4/5

♠️Thanks to Netgalley for providing an audiobook e-arc!

I wasn't really the biggest fan of the anime so this was a fun addition tho i wasn't too invested and interested unfortunately

I'm fairly familiar with both Slime manga and anime, so revisiting Tempest was something I was really looking forward to because all we see in main series is through eyes of Rimuru and not some random visitors.

Trinity in Tempest is spin-off series focused on three girls of different species who on whim of their lord decide to visit Tempest and monitor living in there. Phos, fox girl, Nemu, winged girl and Stella, dragon girl (who is very fond of Millim). Meaning it's mainly slice of life series. Most of the cast from main series also appear - Rimuru, Shion, Shuna and many more. It was a quick and fun read - characters are very unique and bright, often causing a scene which made me laugh several times.

As for art, it's your regular Slime. If you are familiar with original, you should enjoy even the spin-off. I think it's okay to read this series even if you are not familiar with original, although you might not get some of the jokes.

Going with a 3.5 star rating. I am a major fan of the anime so I was hoping to love this, however there wasn't much of Rimuru and the crew. Phos was interesting enough, Stella was more interesting to me and Nemu was quiet. The new cast of characters were fun, but I wanted more of Rimuru because I adore him. Overall, it was a fun read, but I wanted more.

It was somewhat cute, but the main character was a bit bland for my taste. I don`t think i`ll be reading the rest of the series.

That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime is an interesting title. The drawing is full of different species and creatures, it is a totally fantasy world. Reading this manga feels like playing an adventure game. There seems to be so many characters you meet along the way, and the main character has to do different jobs and tasks to complete her mission. Readers will have to learn what the fantasy world is like, so many to find out. While that alone is interesting, there is a lack of characters' depths that, in result, do not make you relate too much or invest emotionally in those characters. All of the characters also seem so cheerful and do not distinct much from one another in my opinion. That's the first impression I got from just reading Volume 1!

At this point, there is little to no one who hasn’t heard of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and we do agree that it’s well deserved. From the intriguing concept to the fine execution, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime hooked us from the beginning. As Rimuru continues his journey, we get to see how he develops Tempest, the city of monsters. Watching his thoughts and realizations unfold is truly interesting, but it can sometimes overshadow the other aspects of the story, which we would also love to see in the spotlight. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Trinity in Tempest (Manga) covers just that.

So, let’s get into it already.

I have never heard of the Manga or this Anime Series until I saw it on NetGalley, I didn’t even know this was a spin-off series. That’s the reasons why I felt a little bit confused at the beginning of the story. But once I started getting to know the characters and the world-building I enjoyed the story quite a lot.
I liked the fact that there are different monsters in Tempest and how the main character, Phos, learns that the world should not be ruled by casts or how society stipulates how someone´s life should be, based on the belief that some species are stronger than the others.
As it happens with most mangas, it was a very quick read. And I am curious to know how Phos experiences in Tempest are going to be developed.
Definitely, a must-read for people who love manga and fantasy creatures.

Having no clue that this was a spin off of another Anime by the same name, I had a lot of fun going through this Manga. Thank you Net Galley for accepting my request to read this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley, FUSE, Tae Tono, and Kodansha Comics for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I never finished the original series of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, but I have read enough to find this new spin-off series rather fun, light-hearted, and humorous. I would say you don't necessarily have to read Slime first to enjoy this manga, though having read it prior made Rimuru's appearances exciting and enjoyable.

This manga follows Phos (a fox-wolf girl), Stella (a dragonish girl), and Nemu (a harpy), three new visitors to Tempest. Where they are from things are run a bit differently. They must learn the ways and customs of Tempest. As they seek jobs and try to find their place, they also hear rumors of the famous Rimuru, but how could a lowly slime have such a high position? This stumps the newcomers and they all want a glimpse of Lord Rimuru for themselves!

This is a cute fun first installment to the spin-off series that old fans will enjoy but will also appeal to new readers too. :)

I have not read the main series of books that this series is based on. This book is from the perspectives of Phos, Stella, and Nemu. Phos is a fox girl who finds a job in the security force. Stella worships a dragon and wants to learn to cook. Nemu is a harpy and wants to sleep. I like the art and the variety of characters. I am interested to go back and read the main series to see how this book came to be.

This is a cute spin-off/side story to the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime series by Fuse. Haven't not read/seen the original series, I was a bit confused going into this. Maybe it would make more sense if I'd had exposure to the original series, but these seems to be largely a trio of new characters? Anyway, it's really cute. Phos, Stella, and Nimu are all sent by their leaders to spy on or infiltrate Tempest, and the sort of find their niche - Phos as a member of the town patrol, Stella as a cook, and Nimu as a worker at a fabric shop (?). It's a cute little fantasy slice-of-life series with a bunch of mythical creatures, which is really fun. I'll definitely check out more of this series, as I want to see what this trio of troublemakers gets up to!

I volunteered to read this book, through netgalley in exchange, for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. The artwork in this graphic novel is amazing. The pacing of this book is good. All of the characters are enjoyable. My favorite character is definitely Phos, she is a fox lycanthrop. I highly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read volume 2. This book is in stores now for $12.99. You guys this author is great. It will suck you in from the first page. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

I love the anime, so I wanted to give this spin off ago, and it’s cute. I love the world and the slice of life aspects, but you are following completely different characters from who you’re used to. I don’t know if they are from the original manga. I only have the anime to go on, but it was adorable to see the world from cute anime girls. The story isn’t as engaging as the original series, but if you go into this knowing it’s a spin off then you’re going to be fine. It was a short series to enjoy while you pass the time away.

A copy was provided by the publishers and netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I’ve not read the original series this is a spin off of but that didn’t cause my any problems! The art is lovely and the story is fun and lighthearted. All of the characters were cute and easy to relate to. A few translation issues but otherwise perfect. I enjoyed this a lot. I’d definitely continue the series, but it wasn’t a favourite manga.

ARC Copy...I am only familiar with the first volume of the original series but I seemed to enjoyed this more. Fox girl is fun to follow along and lots of zany energy abound.

I am not familiar with the main series this spun off of, and gave it a look because I liked the cover and have been making an effort to read more manga. The art is quite good, but the story was not engaging enough to make me want to continue or to seek out the original.
