Takafumi’s “Ojisan” uncle was reincarnated to another world, but back home he was just in a coma for 17 years after being hit by a truck, like so many others. Thought to be crazy by his nephew, after he displays the elite tier magic that he learned, Takafumi has no choice but to believe him.

It’s a dark comedy of an isekai that takes place mostly in the real world, but with some fantasy elements. An interesting read!

The most powerful magician of another world used all of his power and life force to summon average college student Tarou and passed away. Upset by this, he reincarnated the old man himself as a frog, and both learned that he had 8 million times the magical power of anyone else. Unfortunately, Tarou doesn’t have enough to send himself back, so he’s forcing the old frogman to show him the strange fantasy world he brought him to, while its inhabitants liken Tarou’s appearance to the advent of a dark god. A comedy where the protagonist isn’t on the same page as everyone else, it’s an interesting isekai about differences in perspective.
