Another isekai? We haven’t had those for ages, huh?
Summary:
- Loner Life in Another World is an isekai light novel series, adapted into manga.
- The anime adaptation is in the works.
- The main protagonist is rather weird.
Loner Life in Another World (Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku) is originally an isekai light novel series written by Shoji Goji. It started in 2016 and was later adapted into a manga in 2019. Now we have even more news as the series is getting an anime adaptation.
The anime adaptation was announced on January 21, 2024 and set the premiere date to somewhere in 2024. The exact release date, as well as the cast, the studio or any further details are yet to be revealed.
Isekai with superpowers
Along with his other classmates, Haruka, who’s known for being a loner, is summoned to another world by its God. The deity gives each student a special ability, but Haruka misses the moment and is left with all the remaining abilities.
He doesn’t mind and just wants to keep living his life as a loner, but circumstances force him to interact with people and try to solve their issues.
Always a loner
The first visual was released along with the anime adaptation announcement, and it has nothing and no one except for the main protagonist himself. A loner even in the visual.
Despite it being the most minimalistic visual we’ve seen recently, fans admit that it looks intriguing and makes them want to find out more about the series. The power of the main protagonist with a white background, huh?
The name of the series attracted some attention, too. Fans are curious if Haruka is really going to remain a loner or if the series will make him lose this title in a mere episode.
But manga readers promise that it’s not going to be like that. Haruka is really a loner, and he wants nothing to do with other people. However, other people do want to do something with him, constantly asking for his help and forcing him to interact with them and scold them for being foolish.
Haruka won’t become a fan favorite
Manga readers also say that isekai fans are going to enjoy Loner Life, but the main protagonist might evoke mixed feelings from the audience. Haruka is quite odd and has questionable ideas, so don’t expect him to be the most relatable introvert you’ve ever seen.
On top of that, fans hope that the anime will adapt the manga instead of light novels, because the manga is much more comprehensible than the novels.
Even the Japanese natives struggle with understanding everything in the series sometimes, so let’s have faith in the anime adaptation and believe that it’ll fix all the issues and make the story as clear as possible.
