I just got an email from Seven Seas saying they licensed this manga, where does it fall? quote:Talk about your extreme career changes! Naruse Soushi, a single, middle-aged man and private secretary to a politician, lies on the verge of death. Meanwhile, in another world, the princess knight Reina is about to lose her life. The princess’s soul is removed—and Naruse is summoned into the empty husk of her body! Reincarnated as a beautiful young woman, this man is doomed to the fate of…working at a yuri brothel! Does he have what it takes to succeed?

Captian Kil posted:Watched the first 4 or so episodes and they have a total of 5-6 young girls all interested in the main character in one way or another. It is garbage. You have a guy maneuvering an other world fantasy conflict and a underground psychic war. Why is that not interesting enough? Why add this creep poo poo into it? I loving hate that poo poo where its one guy and all the girls seem to gravitate around him. Its such a loving common wish fulfilment trope. Im Ok when it happens and all the girls just happen to not have any interest in the guy like what happens originally in Konosuba and with Chaika.

90% of anime is weird wish fulfillment now because Japan's society is apparently a stress nightmare so everyone wants to die, go to another world and just luck into having a harem I hope Japan finds its way so that they can make other genres again

peeps is a great concept and first episode let down by not really having anything else and, yes, a bunch of underage girls all wanting the main character to give them attention and love in a way that, while not strictly speaking pedophilic, is definitely a wish fulfillment trope for "libertarians" plus, cute bird

All the female characters in The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic are great, even when (especially when) they're terrible.

When I heard Science Saru was doing an anime of that I thought about reading the manga, but then I remembered Science Saru was doing an anime of it so I should probably just wait for the anime.

Scarabrae posted:yes its called harem genre and you are supposed to ignore it exists On rare occasions you end up with things that have cool elements but are "infected" by the harem, like Re:Zero (I dislike pretty much all romance elements of that series - none of the pairings are good, including Rem). That's not very common, though; normally stuff with harems is just straight-up bad so it's not exactly a dilemma where it's "ruining something." Speaking of Re: Zero, I appreciate that it's one of the only isekai stories where the young protagonist actually thinks about their parents (who they had an actual relationship with) and acknowledges that they'll never see their family again. That's almost always missing from those stories in a way that is really bizarre. Communist Thoughts posted:Yeah ive been reading dandadan and it's pretty good, kinda the flcl to chainsaw man's evangelion, but it's also really turning into a harem kinda thing with the tiny kid protagonists This is another good example. I enjoy it in spite of that, but it still sucks that it's a thing.

That's almost always missing from those stories in a way that is really bizarre. I think it's weird how there's no isekais where the character is upset about getting world-swapped and wants nothing more than to go back to their own world. That's probably how I'd react in that situation.

like the first thing that happens is the karate man slays a monster, which results in the nearby village trying to kill him so they can sell off the parts or the biggest recurring danger to him that he's saving money instead immediately spending it and so attracts the negative attention of every bandit/noble nearby

That's probably how I'd react in that situation. The reason itself is pretty easy to understand - the protagonist is a self-insert and you're not supposed to sweat the details. If they had a clearly defined Earth life, it'd be harder to treat them as a self-insert. But it does make the stories far worse. In Re:Zero it actually explains why the protagonist was mostly disconnected from his Earth life (he didn't even attend school in the months/years leading up to his isekai-ing), but he was close with his parents (who are both great and have distinct personalities that clearly influenced the protagonist's personality and behavior). I felt so bad for his parents at the end of that part. From their perspective their only child just disappeared forever.

Truck-kun specifically seeks out the most pathetic, desperate examples of humanity who will miss no one and no one will miss. Sometimes he messes up but nobody’s perfect

That's probably how I'd react in that situation. Witch’s Printing Office. The whole plot is that the girl wants to find a spell that will send her home. But rather than search the world for it, she creates a magical convention where magic-users can show off their new spells, in the hopes that eventually the spell she needs will come to her. It’s a very fun little series.

That's probably how I'd react in that situation. That’s part of what makes it isekai and not an earlier pre-isekai world hopping story though. It’s not strictly mandatory but it’s part of the “checklist”.

Homeless Friend posted:I always thought it was funny that all isekais rely on a conception of a immortal soul. whereas really you’d be told “no luck, you’re a copy” That's not true. Plenty of Isekai have people just physically teleported to the other world, like El Hazard or the previously mentioned Witch's Printing Office.
