Isekai Ojisan

Isekai Ojisan

A manga about Takafumi’s uncle who has been in a coma for 17 years where the uncle has actually been sent to a different world filled with magic and monsters. The uncle is now awake and Takafumi supports him so they can make money with the uncle’s magical powers on YouTube.

We’ve discussed this manga on a recent episode.

I really like this manga which might surprise some people because I typically hate the isekai genre. However Isekai Ojisan takes isekai troupes and pokes fun at them so I love that. Bits like how the uncle was considered an ogre because he wasn’t a beautiful looking human like everyone else or how his overpowered strength only made him feared are hilarious. Also the uncle was a die-hard SEGA fan so there is a good amount of video game humor thrown in this book as well.

A great comedy. I look forward to reading more!
