That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 3

Even as Rimuru explores his newfound ability to mimic a human, events do not let up. I noticed one part where the anime had cut - a couple of panels of Rimuru exploring the abilities he had gained thus far, including the new ones obtained from Ifrit and Shizue.

The ogres show up and things got tense for a while, but it ultimately ended up being favourable for the slime, as expected. The “upgraded” ogres looked better in the anime, especially the males, although Shion sometimes (it feels somewhat inconsistent) looks better in the manga (proportion-wise, not so exaggerated, you know what I mean).

And news of the orcs are building up towards something, as the lizardmen and dryads enter the picture as well. Gabiru looks a lot better in the manga too, but that goofiness is either pure annoyance or pure comedy, depending on one's taste I suppose.
