This is what they are doing in this "Dragon Ball room" at Shueisha?

Let me stop you right there, okay i know there are people who make the yamacha jokes(myself included) but in all seriousness whoever thought this was even remotely a good idea need to be fire.

I'll read this.

I loved Yamcha in the original Dragon Ball.

Kind of sucks that people are gonna take this as a joke since Yamcha has become a meme of useless characters in the dragon ball and anime community.

Reincarnated as a manga character sounds cool only if the character is the hero. As a side character you're basically f**cked. Laughing

So now Yamcha will spoiler[avoid dying by Cultivars. He'll take Yajirobe's sword from Kuririn and kill Vegeta so he won't get his girl stolen from him.]

Pretty sure it's meant to be a joke, considering the title is a parody reference to a popular LN. And it's hilarious! Go Yamcha reincarnated boy!

Agent355, actually "Slime Tensei" started out as a web novel but you are otherwise right. I just posted this on Sabat's FB page. This would be a good manga to get approved by the creator or publisher for scanlations.

I don't know what this Yamcha is, but it sounds like Raditz.

I don't know what this Yamcha is but it sounds disappointing.

That's it, no joke. The boy gets reincarnated as Yamcha? If it was a Saibaman or even Raditz then maybe he'd have a chance but to come back as a loser and a coward?

That sort of thing shouldn't happen to anyone except the one true Yamcha. Otherwise I just can't believe in karma...

This... might be interesting?
I know Yamcha is just the butt of everyone's jokes, but I'm actually a bit curious to see how he could become a hero in this scenario. If this gets a legal release, I might give it a read just for the heck of it.
