The main character is Ryoma Takebayashi, a 39-year-old single salaryman working as a system engineer for a black company. Ryoma meets an untimely end in his apartment alone. He was called to the heavenly realm, but the God of Creation, the Goddess of Love, and the God of Life asked him to cooperate with them, and he was reborn in another world in the form of a child. The 8-year-old Ryoma begins to live a carefree life alone in a deep forest, enjoying his new life while immersing himself in the study of slimes. Surrounded by kind people, Ryoma enjoys every day of his life in this slow-life fantasy.

Comments by Azusa Tadokoro (original in Japanese)

Impression of this work
The main character, Ryoma, has always tried his best to live his life without losing his compassion, even though he was unhappy and unrewarded in his current life. He is reincarnated in a new world where he lives his life over again, and I was moved to tears many times as he comes into contact with the warmth of people and gradually heals the loneliness and wounds that he himself did not even realize he had. Although this is a story about a different world, where many kinds of magic that cannot be used in real life can be used, the warmth, kindness, and compassion of people in this story can be used in the real world right away, starting tomorrow! I thought it was a wonderful work that made me want to be kind to others!

What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
I thought she was a person of excellent heart who had been raised in a terrible environment but had always been kind to others. I think everyone would wish Ryoma-kun happiness in the world where he is reincarnated!
I am so honored to be able to play such a charming boy! I will do my best to make everyone love Ryouma-kun in the anime as well, so please watch it!

Congratulatory comments and illustrations have arrived from Roy and Ririnra!

In addition, a congratulatory comment from Roy Sensei, the author of the original story, and a congratulatory comment and illustration from Ririnra Sensei, who is in charge of character drafts, have also arrived.

Roy's congratulatory comment on the TV anime adaptation (original in Japanese)
First of all, I am frankly surprised. I have never received a comment saying "I hope it will be made into an anime! but I had been thinking "I hope so," as if it were a distant dream. Looking back on it now, it's rude to say this, but I had some doubts about whether it was true. But as the original author, I was involved in the animation project. However, my doubts were eventually put to rest when I was allowed to be involved in the anime adaptation as an author and was exposed to the enthusiasm of the production staff. Now, I would like to express my gratitude to the people involved in animating my work and to the readers who supported me.
And I can't wait to see the completed anime! I can't wait to see the finished anime!

Congratulatory illustration and comment from Ririnra-sensei on the TV anime adaptation (original in Japanese)
Congratulations on the anime adaptation of "The Man Who Was Picked Up by the Gods! Ever since I was a child, I have loved the slime monster that appears in games and other forms of entertainment, and it has been my dream to raise one. I am very moved to think that the story of slime breeding will be made into an anime, and moreover, that I am involved in the illustration at ....... As a slime fan, I am looking forward to seeing the joyful evolution of the slimes that Ryoma lovingly raised and the stories of the people around them on film!
