Synopsis
All-powerful king Grey dies and is reborn as Arthur, finding love and facing danger in a magical world.
The story follows the strongest king in history, Grey. Although he possesses unparalleled power, wealth, and fame, there is no one who stands by his side…and he trusts no one. One day, Grey suddenly meets his death and is reincarnated as a powerless infant named Arthur in a world of magic. Surrounded by a loving family and companions, Arthur starts to experience joys in this new life that he never knew in his previous one. However, during a journey, his family is attacked by bandits... Thus begins his second life, filled with love and adventure! (Source: Official site)

- 8 “This was a nice surprise. People say that it cut a lot of moments, rushed some, and that the animation lacks quality. However, despite its flaws, I was very entertained. The Beginning After the End...”
- 7 “This series delivers exactly the kind of low-grade isekai fix that keeps cravings at bay between premium releases like Jobless Reincarnation. It's undeniably bad, yet it remains entertaining enough...”
