Mushoku Tensei
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is a Japanese light novel series written by Rifujin na Magonote and later illustrated by Shirotaka. The series follows Rudeus Greyrat, a jobless, overweight, and reclusive man who dies and is reincarnated in a fantasy world. Retaining the memories from his previous life, he is determined to enjoy his new life without any regrets.
The series was originally published online at Shōsetsuka Ni Narō in November 2012. The following year, Media Factory’s MF Books imprint announced a print edition with illustrations by Pixiv user Shirotaka. A manga adaptation by Yuka Fujikawa began serialisation in the June 2014 issue of Monthly Comic Flapper, and three spin-offs were also released. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the tankōbon volumes of the manga for North America along with the original light novels. Studio Bind produced an anime television series adaptation. The first season aired between January and December 2021. The second season aired from July 2023 to July 2024. The third season is set to premiere in 2026.
An unnamed 34-year old NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) is evicted from his home by his four siblings following the death of their parents and his failure to attend the funeral. As he wanders the streets, he laments his life and wishes to start over. Simultaneously, he sees a group of teenagers quarrelling, and is reminded of a childhood friend he had feelings for in middle school. When a speeding truck threatens to hit them, he pushes them out of the way and dies in the process.
He awakens in a baby's body and realizes he has been reincarnated into a world of swords and sorcery. Determined to make the most of this second chance, he discards his past identity to embrace a new life as Rudeus Greyrat. Due to inherited affinity and early training, Rudeus becomes highly skilled in magic. During his childhood, he studies under the demon mage Roxy Migurdia, befriends a demi-human named Sylphiette, and becomes a magic tutor to noble heiress Eris Boreas Greyrat.
Just as Rudeus begins to feel like he has found his place in this world, a major magical catastrophe destroys his nation, teleporting and stranding hundreds of thousands of people far from home. Some end up in dangerous places or situations, resulting in their deaths due to murder, war, execution, monster attack, or exposure to the elements. Stranded in a foreign land with Eris, Rudeus begins the journey home with help from a warrior named Ruijerd Superdia. During their travels, Rudeus is approached by a mysterious entity called the Man-God, who offers cryptic advice with unclear motives. After three years, including a defeat by a powerful world-class warrior named Orsted, Rudeus successfully escorts Eris home to their devastated homeland. However, political tensions and a misunderstanding lead to Eris's sudden departure, leaving Rudeus heartbroken.
Two years later, Rudeus, still affected by the fallout of the incident with Eris, suffers from erectile dysfunction. He enrolls in Ranoa Magic University following advice from the Man-God. There, he reunites with Sylphiette, who helps him recover. The two marry shortly thereafter. Rudeus later joins his father's quest to find his missing mother, ignoring the Man-God's advice. During the journey, he develops a romantic relationship with Roxy, who becomes his second wife. A dying future version of himself eventually warns him that the Man-God will be responsible for the deaths of those close to him. To prevent this, Rudeus attempts to kill Orsted, one of Man-God's enemies, but instead offers him his allegiance in exchange for his family's safety. After reconciling with Eris, Rudeus marries her as his third wife. The series continues episodically with a series of story arcs based on Rudeus' daily life and growing family, along with his and Orsted's efforts to ensure the Man-God's precise demise. After an unsuccessful attempt on his life, the Man-God abandons his plans against Rudeus and shifts focus to his descendants. Rudeus eventually dies of natural causes at the age of 74.
After graduating from university in 2007, Rifujin na Magonote began submitting manuscripts to publishers. After receiving no results, he decided to quit. Some years later, he was reading Kanekiru Kogitsune's Re:Monster, where he learned of the web fiction website Shōsetsuka ni Narō. After reading some of the serials on the website and thinking he would not be ridiculed for his writing, he began submitting there. Magonote wanted to depict a student who fails at school, trying to have another chance at life through this series. The setting of the work was created by adding elements of several popular Naro-kei works to the story that he had wanted to write for a long time. From then on, Isekai stories were popular and the approach was "If I were you, I would do this", "If I'm going to be reincarnated, I should write about my childhood properly" or "Is it possible to make use of the settings before reincarnation?" During his youth, Magonote was a fan of fighting games in arcades. He often regretted leaving his hometown and he channeled that sorrow as a driving force when he began writing Mushoku Tensei, aiming to overcome his past difficulties and see the story to its end. Magonote says his influences were Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and Parasyte, which focused on family and human relationships.
Magonote commented that he made Rudeus aware of his controversial personality and intended for Rudeus's actions to become more meaningful in the process. He left it to the readers to judge him. Magonote wanted the audience to pay attention so they could relate to him. He got a great response in episodes 6 and 7 of the web version of the novels when Roxy took Rudeus out. This acceptance made him think, "Let's grow in this direction." The message of the series is that "everybody can make mistakes."
