Isekai Genre

The Isekai genre involves stories where a character is transported from their usual world to a fantastical or alternate universe. This transition often occurs through magic, technology, or mysterious circumstances. In the new world, characters typically encounter adventures, magic, and new cultures, often gaining special abilities or knowledge. The genre explores themes of escapism, growth, and adaptation, appealing to audiences interested in exploring unfamiliar settings through a familiar personal lens. Isekai has become popular in anime, manga, and light novels, blending adventure and fantasy with character-driven storytelling.
