¿Qué es isekai ojisan?

Isekai is a subgenre of Japanese fantasy light novels, manga, and anime that involves a character being transported or reincarnated into a parallel world. "Isekai Ojisan" is a specific manga that belongs to this genre.

"Isekai Ojisan" translates to "Uncle from Another World" in English. The story follows a middle-aged man named Yoshio, who dies from overwork and is reincarnated in a fantasy world. In this new world, Yoshio adopts the persona of an uncle and decides to live a leisurely life, avoiding any unnecessary stress and responsibilities.

Despite being transported to a different world, Yoshio retains his knowledge and understanding of Earth. His laid-back outlook on life leads him to use his knowledge to his advantage, solving problems and achieving success in this new world in rather unconventional ways. The manga focuses on comedy and lightheartedness, as Yoshio navigates his new life, forms relationships, and encounters various fantastical creatures and situations.

"Isekai Ojisan" offers a different take on the isekai genre by featuring an older protagonist, in contrast to the typical young heroes found in many isekai stories. The series has gained popularity among readers who appreciate its comedic nature and the unique perspective of a middle-aged man approaching life in a relaxed manner even in a new, unfamiliar world.
