New Chairman Kosaku Shima Manga is a That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Crossover
posted on by Kim Morrissy
What if the protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime did not, in fact, get reincarnated as a slime? What if he became the protagonist of a different manga instead?
That's the premise of Chairman Kosaku Shima. He has now become such a successful businessman that surely other people would want to be him, and that's exactly what happens.
Instead of transporting to a fantasy world, the 37-year-old protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will awaken as a 37-year-old Kosaku Shima in the year 1984. Titled That Time I Got Reincarnated as Kosaku Shima (Tensei Shitara Shima Kōsaku Datta Ken or Regarding Reincarnated to Shima Kosaku), this manga will be a collaboration between Kenshi Hirokane, the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime novel author seinen magazine from March 12.
And what has happened to the real personality of Kosaku Shima while the Slime protagonist is in his body, you may ask? A Comic Zero Sum will focus on Shima's exploits as a medieval knight after he gets reincarnated into a fantasy world. That series is slated to begin on March 28, so readers can enjoy the tales of two Kosaku Shimas in different worlds.
