I usually never post on MAL, but I can't keep quiet about this one. This series, along with Ascendance of a Bookworm, are titles that I've read since the postings of the web novels, eventually purchasing the light novels and manga to show my support of the author. (I have a shelf filled with Spice & Wolf, Reincarnated as a Sword, and Ascendance of a Bookworm.)

The title is odd, I know. I thought that when I was looking for reading material. I also believed that it wouldn't be worth my time. Boy, I was wrong. For me, it was the characters that made me enjoy the novel. It wasn't the writing style or the setting, just how lovable the characters can be at times. I read a lot of web novels, light novels and manga; A lot of them don't click with me. But for this one, it did.

If you were like me, staring at the title dumbfounded, give the series a try, you might like it. I'm not saying that you are going to enjoy it, maybe it isn't your type of show. I'm just saying give it a try. I pray for a reputable studio to give this series the attention it deserves. Hopefully, it is adapted faithfully with no added or unnecessary 'extras'.

I truly hope this show doesn't die in mediocrity with the other isekai animes that we've seen come and go because, for me, this adaptation is something that I wish brings more fans to the series.

Well, that's about it. See you later.

Yup, that's why I gave the manga a try, for some cute plus action, before the anime got announced even though I'm more of an anime viewer than manga. :)

Really hope they get a good studio to animate.

I didn’t realize how under the radar this series was to people! I’m currently greatly enjoying reading the LN, and I hope the studio will be able to deliver on important chapters

The story in the manga is the same as the light novel, but the characters have different personalities. Quiet and stoic Fran from the Light novels is great.

I will give this one a shot as I am a sucker for Isekai's and being reincarnated as a slime/spider/devouring girl wasn't half bad so a sword should be no problem :P

Reincarnating as a sword is already interesting enough...but having a cat girl who wields that sword? I am in.

I've been reading the LN for this since book 2 came out and love it. When I seen Spider got an anime I've been crossing my fingers and now Sword is getting it's own show and I'm hyped. Hope they keep the pair's "Evil people deserve to die" mentality.

the fact that you like AoaB and S+W gives me some confidence that this could end up a great anime adaptation. I am also a proponent with those anime.

honestly i do like how the sword protagonist kinda takes a back seat in this series. it's more about the cat girl then anything else at least as far as i read that's been the case.

I’m giving this a try but only because I’m a fan of the Tensei(slime). I don’t think it will be better than the slime series but we will see.
