Isekai Ojisan

Description

From Yen Press:
Seventeen years ago, Takafumi’s uncle fell into a coma but now he’s back like a man risen from his grave. Soon, Takafumi discovers two bizarre things: His uncle treasures video games above all else, and, while comatose, he was actually transported to another world as some heroic guardian! Now, not only does Takafumi have to room with an uncle who is literally magical, he also has to catch the guy up on two decades of history. Smartphones, high-speed internet, modern anime tropes and the traumatic outcome of the ’90s console war.

An Good Painful Parody

by dragonlord7012

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

(Dropped at Ch-11) It's good, perhaps even excellent. But my tolerance for cringe doesn't allow me to really enjoy it.

The gag is the uncle got OP, but cannot do social and remained a cringy kid his entire journey, and even afterwards. It's funny, in the trainwreck-comedy sort of way.

And it IS funny. It really does a good job of parodying Isekai. But you really just wanna smack the stupid out of these idiots.

If you can enjoy characters being dumb, I highly recommend it.

Beautiful girls. Beautiful art.

"Oh my god how can my Ojisan be so dense just bang the girls aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah." Well that's just how this manga does... Having said, I don't know how do I even defend it though.

...what comment do I have to make about manga like this one though. I swear I have been revisiting past manga and they all make you feel like you are losing your brain cells just by writing reviews for them. I don't like what people have to say about manga like this, and the issue with the manga seems to match the audience as well.

"You are what you pretend to be", well the manga sure is stupid even though the author perhaps is just pretending to make it seem stupid.

The girls all seem to have exactly 2 notabilities: being beautiful, and being tsundere.

The comments do complain about "blue balling" do have a point - might well just make the manga an adult one if the beautiful women are already the selling point. Although that would limit the age of the audience so... there you have it. The reason.

Jlhonestly not for ne

Rating: 4.0 / 10.0

The reason why i do not really like it is because it never takes itself seriously. I understand this is a comedy manga and as a result, it should make sense that somethings are never taken seriously.

Howeverr i cringe, like whenever the uncle shows the tsundere elf memories to his nephew, literally every advance she attempts to take, the uncle just acts like a block head (which i understand, this is a comedy manga, these troupes are supposed to be funny) but now i see the nephew doing the same thing to his childhood friend, despite knowing that the elf girl actually liked his uncle, and the uncle knows that the chilldhood friend likes the nephew.

The issue i see is that they cannot take their own love advice and see when they are getting hit on. As a result, some of the chapters just run on with the mcs just denying the women because they are too thick headed. This gets repeated a significant amount of times. As a result, the manga becomes stale

I could have worded this better. But tldr, if you want comedy and dont mind being somehwat infuriated with the characters sometimes with their decisions, go read this manga

Great comedic value

One of the best comedy mangas in the last 10 years. Interesting characters, great gags, engaging story and fanservice is just right, some but not too much.

This manga starts out quite interesting, a returnee from an Isekai adjusting to the modern world and recounting his tales to his nephew. It repeatedly hints at a greater story for both his history in the Isekai world and the events occurring in ours.

Unfortunately, it never delivers. In 40 some chapters, I can't make note of any character growth at all. Every single character is static. There are no major shifts to the story or setting either. It's like the author has ideas of how to make a complex narrative and interesting characters but is too scared of change to implement them, so instead he relied on the character's central gags. Even that could be interesting if this were a gag manga and sufficient twists were put in the formula to keep character gags interesting. But no, it's the same thing every single time.

Man this is...different

(reviewed at ch 27)
Early on there's a fair bit of cringe-comedy. Especially when it comes to interactions with the tsundere (god I feel bad for her). There's also some really funny normal comedy throughout.
It's definitely better for people who have some idea of the isekai genre tropes, as it is a parody foremost.

The reddit theories that show in the scanlator's credit page radically changed my view on the entire story though. Makes everything have this air of bitter-sweetness so I feel like it coloured my view of the story from that point onwards. I'm really looking forward to the conclusion so I can see how it plays out, unfortunately this looks like the type of series that could continue for ten more years with gags :/

Oh! This isn't really a gag-series, though. It starts with self-contained gag stories but it's actually piecing together 17 years of adventures. And this is mostly done in a linear fashion where one flashback will follow shortly after the last.

This..is a good series. And different, though it reminds me of other dark depressing series. But it's a comedy..
I actually think it'll do better as an anime, but after I saw the PV I couldn't wait and read it and now that i'm far past what the first couple seasons could reasonably reach 🙁 (edit:turns out it reached ch 33 in one season)
edit: The anime overall I'd say is a better way of consuming it because the animation and ost is pretty much perfect for its style. Also the Japanese VAs are either decent or absolutely perfect! (The English dub is hit or miss: Uncle, Elf, childhood friend are all great, Mabel, imo, is too distracting [though an interesting choice] and I just don't like Hero's)

This manga toys with your feelings. This manga is Ojisan himself and we are Tsundere Elf.

An interesting comedy

by bobIV123

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

It's a nice comedy that's parodying the isekai genre (though not as directly as some other series). The humor is a little subtle, but not too subtle, if that makes any sense. I recommend reading a chapter or two to see if you like it.
