Rumor suggests that isekai genre will persist for the next 5 years

This one goes out to that fan who never misses any Isekai! Today we're going to talk about two trends that are dominating the world of anime and manga : The Isekai genre and boys' love . With successful works such as “Sasaki and Miyano”, “Overlord”, “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” and “KonoSuba: God's Blessings on this Wonderful World”, it is clear that these genres have gained a solid fan base.

In a recent interview, Akira Kanai , editor of “Vinland Saga,” shared his perspectives on the future of these trends. He firmly believes that the popularity of the isekai and boys' love genres will remain strong in the coming years, especially among different audiences.

But what exactly are these genres? In the world of manga and anime, the isekai genre refers to fantasy stories in which a character is transported to an entirely new world, often with special abilities. Boys ' love is a romantic genre that focuses on relationships between beautiful young people, mainly for a female audience.

Kanai explained that while these stories are great for escapism, it's important to consume them in moderation. He compared the experience to eating fast food: it may be satisfying in the moment, but too much can harm your mental health.

Despite this, the market is full of launches for all tastes. This year, we have already seen Studio DEEN bring “Tadaima, Okaeri” to the screen, a new addition to the catalog of the Boys' Love genre. Additionally, we eagerly await the release of new isekai series such as “Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest” and “Re:Zero: Starting Life in Another World”.

So what can we expect from the future of these genres? Kanai believes that, despite its popularity, it is important for Monthly Afternoon, a manga magazine focused on a more mature audience, to offer stories that are more reflective of reality.

And you, dear readers, what do you think about the future of the isekai genre? Are you excited for the next releases? Share your opinions with us in the comments!
