With a protagonist killing reincarnated people, Cheat Slayer seems to have the same cunning mind as other Kakegurui author’s works.
As isekai continues to develop the world of anime, manga, and light novels, it is the impetus for the author to develop the isekai world even more. There will be many new genres created from the old isekai genres.
A new example of this is Tenseisha Koroshi – Cheat Slayer, from Kakeguri’s Homura Kawamoto. With a main character dying from killing people who reincarnated into her world, the upcoming manga seems to be in the same creative way as the author’s other works.
Cheat Slayer Has a Murder Premise
Cheat Slayer will premiere this summer in the manga magazine Monthly Dragon Age , written by Kawamoto and illustrated by Aki Yamaguchi. The story has not been specific so far, although it is certainly a break from the typical isekai. Described as a trickle-down tale of “hate and lust”, the story will revolve around one person killing anyone and everyone who reincarnates into their world.
This main character appears to be a witch-like woman seen on the one-page preview cover, who is clutching a young man who doesn’t come to pick him up maliciously as he cries out of fear. scared. This potential victim is likely to be one of the first reincarnated heroes the book follows, with his execution at the protagonist’s hands being the probable end of the first season. Its revenge story premise could also reverse the “Isekai world” momentum of the genre, showing the ramifications of people who are reincarnated into a world and often become powerful heroes. .
Isekai’s Death
Its premise and potential sound similar to The Executioner and Her Way of Life, where the reincarnation of humans into another world is so catastrophic to the natural order that it requires intervention. of a heroine to deal with in a … rough manner. The fact that they both feature female leads is another interesting parallel between the two series, especially given the dominance of male heroes in the genre.
Cheat Slayer also hints at the cunning seen in Kawamoto’s previous work. That manga, which became an anime from studio MAPPA, also features a strong and deceitful heroine, addicted to gambling and winning all odds against everyone else. It seems that, just as isekai has developed offshoots based on the most absurd or unfortunate reincarnations, the same will happen with stories that attempt to end characters’ second lives in accordance with literal meaning.
