Synopsis of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Leaving the store, Subaru Natsuki encounters a bustling city inhabited by humans and demihumans. The city, which uses dragons and carriages as a means of transport, is evidently not the modern Japan he knows. However, as someone who spends his days engrossed in comics and games, Subaru assumes he's a protagonist in this new fantasy world, harnessing supreme magical powers. Unfortunately, this is not the case and things quickly go wrong when he runs into a group of thugs. Fortunately, a silver-haired beauty named Satella comes to his rescue, as he searches for his stolen insignia.
In return for their kindness, Subaru offers to help them in the search, which eventually leads them to a loot shop. Assuming that the badge was exchanged for money, Subaru enters the store hoping to negotiate with the owner about the stolen item. However, to their surprise, what awaits them is not the insignia, but a brutal killer who leads the two to their deaths. But instead of waking up in the afterlife, Subaru is surprised to find himself alone in the middle of the day, as if he never left the city in the first place. Thus, his life in another world mysteriously begins a second time.
