About “Reincarnated as a Sword” in a few words:

“Reincarnated as a Sword,” also known as “Tensei shitara Ken deshita,” is an isekai anime series where the protagonist is reborn in another world not as a human, but as a sentient sword. Navigating this world, the sword teams up with a young girl named Fran, and together they embark on a journey filled with adventures, challenges, and the forging of powerful alliances. The story deftly blends action, humor, and heartfelt moments, offering a fresh spin on the popular isekai genre.

Meet the characters from Reincarnated as a Sword

Fran

Okay, Fran is basically a walking contradiction and I love her — tiny, ferocious beastkin who will hug you and then punch anything that insults you, sometimes in the same breath. She’s fiercely loyal, has this carefree warrior energy, and also secretly likes fluffy things (but will deny it loudly, of course). She fights like someone who’s been training forever but still gets distracted by shiny rocks or food — and will probably challenge a mountain just because it looked at her funny. Also, she has the cutest grumpy face and a habit of declaring battle plans with snacks in her mouth, which is somehow both heroic and ridiculous.

Teacher

Teacher is that calm, slightly mysterious mentor figure who gives the best one-liners and the vaguest advice until you realize it was brilliant all along. Quiet, intelligent, has maybe a closet of weird hobbies (collects maps? grades souls? who knows), and you get the sense they’ve seen a thousand wars but still forget where they put their tea. They’re patient but not soft — will scold you like a parent but show up when it counts, and also will probably read three books at once and fall asleep halfway through each. There’s a cool behind-the-eyes sadness sometimes, but then they’ll make a terrible joke and you remember they’re human (or whatever they are) after all.

Amanda

Amanda is sharp-tongued, fast-thinking, and just the kind of chaotic energy the party needs when plans implode — she can haggle a dragon down a toll and then complain about the breadcrumbs on her cloak. There’s a pragmatic streak to her, like she’s always calculating the next move, but she’ll also stop to rescue a stray animal or an embarrassing cause if it tickles her fancy. She’s good with numbers and gossip in equal measure, probably owns a ledger full of secrets, and might bake you bread that’s suspiciously perfect and slightly burned at the edges. She acts like she hates sentiment, but you catch her humming when she thinks no one’s looking, and that’s when she’s most honest.

Jet

Jet is the hotheaded sword guy — loud, proud, totally into proving his strength, and secretly a softie who collects tiny trinkets from every town (don’t tell him you noticed). He rushes into fights with a grin and a plan that somehow works? sometimes? — and his confidence is contagious, even if it’s a little reckless. There’s this rivalry-vibe about him, like he needs to be pushed to be better, and he’ll flatter you awkwardly and then challenge you to spar for no reason. He talks a big game but will stay up all night nursing a wounded teammate, and he’s inexplicably afraid of spiders despite being a literal warrior.

Murelia Krishna

Murelia Krishna feels like royalty dipped in moonlight — elegant, composed, fabulously well-read, and somehow intimidating even when she’s knitting or sipping tea. She’s strategic and a bit theatrical, the sort of person who plans ten moves ahead and then buys a ridiculous hat because, why not. There’s an icy exterior that melts in tiny, inconsistent ways (she’ll issue decrees like a queen but cry at a bad pop song), and she wields power with a calm that suggests ancient experience. Also, she’s annoyingly good at riddles and keeps one very opinionated pet that she insists is low-maintenance but which everyone knows is secretly the real boss.

Lumina

Lumina is light and chaos in equal measure — bubbly, idealistic, and annoyingly optimistic, but don’t mistake that for weakness; she’s tough as nails underneath all the glitter. She heals, she inspires, she’ll decorate a battlefield with lanterns if she thinks it’ll cheer people up, and she has this habit of giving nicknames that stick forever. She’s kind of scatterbrained (forgets appointments, loses socks, names plants) but shockingly perceptive when it matters, like she notices the small things other people miss. Also, she insists on trying new recipes constantly and somehow all of them are edible, which I think is a minor miracle or very good editing.
