Reborn as a Dying Orphan in Her Fifth Life: New Manga Series Launches on AlphaPolis
Japanese digital publishing platform AlphaPolis introduced a brand new manga series to readers as of June 4. The series "Fifth Life, I Was an Orphan About to Die When I Reincarnated" (5回目の人生、転生したら死にそうな孤児でした), based on the original story written by Sasaki Kou and brought to life with illustrations by Tencho Ten, brings a creative breath to the reincarnation genre.
The plot of the series is quite intriguing: A young girl reincarnates for the fifth time and this time she finds herself as an orphan on the verge of death. In her previous lives, she had unusual identities such as "the strongest adventurer" and "the demon king's wife." Now she will embark on a new adventure and seek ways to survive in this harsh life. The story combines fantasy adventure and reincarnation elements, promising readers an immersive experience.
Author Sasaki Kou is a name previously known for web novels. Artist Tencho Ten is an artist noted for character designs and dynamic panels. The duo aims to handle both emotional moments and action-packed scenes in a balanced way in this new series. AlphaPolis is a platform especially known for its web novel-based manga; it has previously hosted popular series such as The Rising of the Shield Hero. With this new addition, the platform continues to expand its reincarnation-themed works.
The reincarnation (isekai) genre has become one of the most popular trends in the manga and anime world in recent years. However, "Fifth Life, I Was an Orphan About to Die When I Reincarnated" brings a different perspective to this genre: The fact that the protagonist has lived multiple lives allows for a deeper narrative of character development and the effects of the past. In particular, it is a matter of curiosity how past identities such as "the strongest adventurer" and "the demon king's wife" will resonate in the new life.
The manga is currently available only in Japanese on AlphaPolis. No official English or Turkish translation announcement has been made yet. However, since the platform has released many of its series to international readers in the past, translation news may come in the coming months. The first chapter is available for free; new chapters are expected to be released periodically. A must-read start for reincarnation fans.
