Synopsis of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Upon leaving the store, Subaru Natsuki encounters a bustling city inhabited by humans and demi-humans. The city, which uses dragons and carriages as a means of transportation, is evidently not the modern Japan he knows. However, as someone who spends his days engrossed in comics and games, Subaru assumes that he is a protagonist in this new fantasy world, harnessing the supreme magical powers. Unfortunately for him, this is not the case and things quickly go awry when he runs into a group of thugs. Luckily, a silver-haired beauty named Satella comes to his rescue, as he searches for his stolen badge.

In exchange for their kindness, Subaru offers to help them on the quest, which eventually leads them to a loot shop. Assuming that the badge was exchanged for money, Subaru enters the store in hopes of negotiating with the owner about the stolen item. However, to their surprise, what awaits them is not the badge, but a brutal assassin 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 town in the first place. Thus, his life in another world mysteriously begins for the second time.
