Should I read the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime manga from the beginning?

It depends on how faithful the anime adaptation was. Starting from the beginning gives you the full experience — you'll catch details the anime skipped, see the author's original art, and often get a slightly different pacing. But if you just want to continue the story, jumping to where the anime left off works fine.
