Isekai

Isekai is a genre of fiction, primarily in anime, manga, and light novels, where a character is transported from their ordinary world into a fantastical or alternate universe. This new setting often involves magical, medieval, or otherworldly elements. The genre explores themes of adventure, self-discovery, and adaptation as characters navigate unfamiliar environments, sometimes gaining special abilities. Isekai provides a narrative framework for exploring escapism, personal growth, and the contrast between the mundane and the extraordinary. It has become popular for its imaginative worlds and the opportunity to reimagine familiar characters in novel scenarios.
