Tappei Nagatsuki’s Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World: Everything to know
Goodreads, a go-to hub for readers, describes the plot of Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- as “Subaru Natsuki was just trying to get to the convenience store but wound up summoned to another world. He encounters the usual things–life-threatening situations, silver haired beauties, cat fairies–you know, normal stuff.”
It continues, “All that would be bad enough, but he’s also gained the most inconvenient magical ability of all–time travel, but he’s got to die to use it. How do you repay someone who saved your life when all you can do is die?”
The fourth arc of the manga, titled “The Everlasting Contract,” spreads over five volumes of Nagatsuki’s light novels. Kodakawa’s Comic Alive published the manga adaptation in 2019. Its eighth volume was published on August 22, 2023. Yen Press, who publish the manga in English, unveiled chapter 4 of the seventh volume on December 12, 2023.
