Looking for a full breakdown of every My Isekai Life manga volumes available in English? You’re in the right place. This guide covers the complete volume list, what the series is about, whether it’s finished, and where to grab copies. If you’re new to manga or to the isekai genre — stories where a character is transported from the real world into a fantasy setting — you’ll find all the context you need before buying.
My Isekai Life Has 25 English Manga Volumes (and 32 in Japanese)
Here’s the quick answer: the English edition of My Isekai Life currently sits at 25 volumes as of June 2026. The Japanese edition, published by Square Enix under their Gangan Comics UP! label, is further ahead at 32 volumes — so there’s plenty more story coming for English readers.
The manga has been running in Japan since September 2018, and the English translation has been steadily working to close the gap. With the series still ongoing and roughly 7 volumes separating the two editions, you can expect new English releases to keep rolling out for a good while yet.
If you’re just getting started, that 25-volume count is actually a nice sweet spot — enough to binge for days without having to worry about catching up to a series that ended years ago. And knowing there’s more on the way is always a plus.
Complete English Volume List
Below is the full list of all 25 English volumes with brief notes on what to expect. For the grouped volumes, I’ve noted the general story direction so you can gauge where natural stopping points might fall.
| Volume | Content Notes |
|---|---|
| Vol 1 | Yuji Sano arrives in the other world and starts with a single job class — Monster Tamer (someone who can capture and command monsters), considered the weakest class. By befriending and taming slimes, he acquires Sage as a rare second class — this acquisition is the core premise of Vol 1. He begins exploring the unexpected scope of his dual-class abilities. This is your entry point, and it sets up the core appeal of the series fast. |
| Vol 2 | Yuji starts testing the limits of his Sage powers while his growing party of tamed slimes proves surprisingly useful in combat. |
| Vol 3 | The stakes ramp up as Yuji encounters threats that hint at larger dangers in this world — and his skill set starts drawing attention from other characters. |
| Vol 4 | A solid story segment that expands what we know about the fantasy world and introduces new characters who react to Yuji’s strength in entertaining ways — think disbelief, comedy, and grudging respect. |
| Vol 5 | Midpoint of the early run — by this point, you’ll know whether the series’ storytelling rhythm and tone click for you. |
| Vol 6–10 | The story settles into its groove with escalating threats, new monster taming, and Yuji casually outclassing everything in his path. Volumes 6–7 wrap up threads from the early chapters, while Volumes 8–10 introduce a new region and a fresh set of challenges that make a natural reading block. |
| Vol 11–15 | Larger-scale conflicts start to emerge, and the side characters get more development alongside Yuji’s continuing adventures. Volume 13 marks a noticeable shift in scope that carries through the next several volumes. |
| Vol 16–20 | The world expands further with new regions and increasingly dangerous enemies that actually test Yuji’s abilities. If you need a break point, the end of Volume 18 closes out a major storyline before the next one begins. |
| Vol 21 | Continues the current storyline with momentum building toward major developments. |
| Vol 22 | Pushes the stakes higher as Yuji faces challenges that tie into the series’ broader mysteries. |
| Vol 23 | Published February 2026, continuing the current storyline. |
| Vol 24–25 | The latest English releases — Vol 24 arrived April 14, 2026, and Vol 25 on June 9, 2026. This is where English readers are caught up to as of now. |
One thing to keep in mind: the English edition trails the Japanese release by about 7 volumes. That gap means English readers are well behind the latest developments in the Japanese version, but it also means there’s no risk of the translation stalling out — there’s a deep backlog of material ready to be translated and released in English.
What Is My Isekai Life About?
My Isekai Life (Japanese title: 転生賢者の異世界ライフ, or Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life) follows Yuji Sano, an overworked Japanese office worker who gets transported to a fantasy world. Pretty standard isekai setup so far, right? Here’s where it gets fun: Yuji ends up with not one but two job classes — Monster Tamer and Sage. In this world, most people only get a single class, so having two makes Yuji extraordinarily powerful. Much of the series’ charm comes from watching him casually handle challenges that would overwhelm anyone else.
His signature move? Taming slimes. Lots and lots of slimes. These little creatures become his main combat force, and the way the series handles monster taming gives it a different flavor from other isekai stories about characters who wake up with impossibly strong abilities. There’s a genuine sense of fun in seeing Yuji build up his slime army and figure out creative uses for his dual-class abilities.
The manga is based on a light novel — a short, illustrated Japanese novel format — written by Shinkoshoto (進行諸島), with art by Ponjea (彭傑). If you pick up the English physical volumes, you’ll see these names credited on the cover. The world within the story runs on game-like mechanics: characters can see floating status screens that display their stats, learn abilities through skill trees (branching paths of upgradeable powers), and gain strength through their assigned job classes. If you’ve played an RPG video game, this will feel familiar. If you haven’t, think of it as a fantasy world where people’s abilities work like a character sheet with numbers and levels — the manga makes these mechanics visual and easy to follow on the page.
In terms of tone, this is a laid-back power fantasy — a story where the main appeal is watching an incredibly strong character use their abilities in satisfying ways. Yuji isn’t a brooding main character struggling with deep moral dilemmas. He’s a quiet, competent guy who happens to be absurdly strong, and the series leans into that for both comedy and satisfying action. If you enjoy watching an overpowered main character breeze through a fantasy world while taming cute monsters along the way, this hits that sweet spot perfectly.
The series also has an anime TV series adaptation. If you watched the anime and want to continue in the manga, the anime covers roughly the events of the first several volumes, so you can pick up from around the early-to-mid single digits — though starting from Volume 1 is recommended since the manga includes details the anime condensed or skipped. The manga is the format where most English-speaking fans follow the story long-term, and the artwork does a strong job of selling the action sequences and making the slime-centric combat feel dynamic rather than repetitive.
Is My Isekai Life Finished or Still Ongoing?
My Isekai Life is still ongoing. There’s no announced end date for the series in either Japan or English.
Here’s where things stand:
- Japanese manga: 32 volumes published, series continuing
- English manga: 25 volumes published as of June 2026
- Gap: Roughly 7 volumes between the English and Japanese editions
For readers wondering whether to start collecting — you’re not walking into a situation where the series ended five volumes ago and you’ll have buyer’s remorse. There’s plenty of story left, both in what’s already been published in Japan and in whatever comes next.
The English volumes have been releasing at a steady pace. While the exact schedule can shift, the consistent output so far suggests you won’t be waiting ages between releases. That said, with a 7-volume gap still in play, the English edition has quite a runway before it catches up to the Japanese version — which itself is still going.
If you prefer to wait until a series is complete before starting, this one isn’t there yet. But if you’re comfortable reading ongoing series (and honestly, most isekai manga fans are), 25 volumes is a substantial amount of content to work through before you’re waiting for new releases.
Where to Buy My Isekai Life Manga Volumes in English
My Isekai Life is available in standard single-volume format. As of now, there are no omnibus editions (collected books that bundle multiple volumes into one), box sets, or deluxe editions for this series — it’s individual volumes all the way through.
Like most manga published for English audiences, these volumes read right-to-left — you start at what would be the “back” of a Western book and read panels from right to left across each page. If this is your first manga, don’t worry; you’ll get used to it within a few pages, and the volumes include a note about reading direction.
Here’s where to find them:
- Physical copies are available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and other bookstores that carry manga. You can also check the Square Enix Manga website for availability.
- Digital editions are available on Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and other e-book platforms — a solid option if you want to start reading immediately or save shelf space.
For the latest volume — Volume 25, released June 9, 2026 — you can pick it up at any of these retailers. Volume 1 is where the story begins if you’re starting fresh.
My Isekai Life, Vol. 25
To give you a sense of the investment, individual volumes carry a typical manga retail price. Collecting all 25 volumes adds up, so if you’re watching your budget, starting with the first three to five volumes to make sure you enjoy the series before committing to the full run is a reasonable approach. Digital editions often cost less than their physical counterparts and can help keep the total down if shelf space or budget is a concern.
The series is published in English by Square Enix Manga, so availability is generally good across major retailers. You shouldn’t have trouble finding any of the volumes that are currently available. If a particular volume shows as temporarily out of stock at one retailer, checking another usually turns it up.
