Watch out for truck-kun! Throughout the years, isekai has become such a common trope that you can find it in anime/manga, books, movies, tv shows, and even in webcomics. What is isekai? It’s a sub fantasy genre where one gets reincarnated or transported into world unfamiliar to them. While it originated in Japan, webcomics have taken this 'new world’ trope and ran with it. As long as creators continue to imagine and create new and unique ways to express their stories every time, then it seems like the isekai genre is here to stay for good.

Here’s just a few of the many isekai series on CANVAS:
