Unfortunately, his body has shrunk to that of a grade-schooler, and he must conceal his identity to protect himself and those around him.

Wishes, desires, and bad luck. For all of Kimihiro Watanuki’s young life, he has been plagued with the ability to see and be effected by spirits all around him. All he wanted to do was live a mostly normal high school student’s life and get closer to his adorable classmate Himawari. In a stroke of luck that’s either good or bad (depending on your viewpoint), Watanuki finds himself stumbling into the wish-granting shop of the witch Yuuko. She agrees to remove Watanuki’s ability to see spirits under the condition that he work as her assistant till the value of his work efforts has become equivalent to the value of his desire. That seems simple enough, right? But when Watanuki’s life becomes even stranger because of Yuuko’s customers, acquaintances, and the tasks he’s assigned to do it begins to seem a little more trouble than the reward could be worth to normal people. Instead of seeing fewer spirits, now he comes face to face with more of them than he ever had a desire to! Will Watanuki ever have a normal existence? And will Yuuko ever stop drinking?

She goes boom, boom, boom. The Slayers all began with an underdeveloped sorceress, Lina Inverse, and her quest for fame and fortune. After thinking he saved her from some revenge-seeking bandits, Gourry Gabriev joins her as her self-proclaimed protector. It’s only Lina’s misfortune that his wit isn’t as sharp as his skills with a sword. From there, the two set out looking for rare treasures and spells and find themselves constantly getting swept up in plots larger than themselves. Constantly meeting allies along the way, such as the taciturn Zelgadis and the energetic Amelia, the main cast of Slayers always finds themselves one step away from danger rather than closer to their individual goals. People of the world might revere them as heroes and saviors from plans to destroy the world. However, the destruction they seem to cause in the meantime seems to override any respect people might have for them. Comedy and adventure is in high quantity as Lina Inverse shoots for the stars to become the most powerful sorceress there is.
