The Water Magician (Manga)

Upon being reincarnated into a fantasy world, Ryo wants to live out his days in peace with his newfound water magic. He can only conjure a cupful at a time, but it’s enough to eek out a comfortable existence—or so he thought. The powers that be cast him into the wild outlands with nothing more than a humble shack, a single knife, some food...and abilities that are yet beyond his comprehension. The area is overrun by monsters and there’s nary another human in sight. Ryo must now figure out how to survive above all else, but he’s ready to take bulls, boars, and a whole host of other monsters by the horns if it means seizing the life he wants for himself. Each new victory brings a new challenge, but what could a fateful encounter with a headless horseman, a dragon, and a castaway swordsman have in common? They’re the first steps on a grand journey that will take Ryo beyond the borders of all he knows to become the greatest water magician the world has ever seen—one adventure at a time.

Ryo’s enjoying the survivalist lifestyle of his second life in this new world. Then one day, a young man by the name of Abel washes ashore after his ship was destroyed by a giant sea monster. He desperately wants to return to civilization, but he can’t make it out of the dense forest on his own. So he convinces Ryo to accompany him as his bodyguard/guide… Thus begins the journey of the strongest magician and strongest swordsman, the two who will someday change the world! What awaits them on their travels?! Find out in the second volume of the adventures of a water magician who just wants to live life at his own pace!

After arriving in the city of Lune with Abel, Ryo finds himself leading a completely different life than the one he had in the literal middle of nowhere. He’s exploring the dungeon with his fellow newly minted adventurers, searching for alchemical texts in the library, and just generally letting his interests lead the way. He couldn’t be happier with city living! So then how exactly does he end up fighting an akuma...?! His Ice Wall might as well be flimsy paper to her. Could the secret to defeating this unprecedentedly powerful enemy be found in his special hot water...? Find out in the third manga volume of the adventure featuring the strongest water magician who just wants to live life at his own pace!
