Since October 2019, the manga Isekai Shikkaku has been published on the Yawaraka Spirits. In 2024, the work received an anime adaptation produced by the studio Atelier Pontdarc, airing from July to September.
For manga fans who enjoy fantasy stories with a touch of humor, Isekai Shikkaku stands out as a must-read.
