<h2>The Isekai Phenomenon: A Genre Explained</h2>

<p>But what *is* isekai?  Simply put, isekai anime centers around characters who are transported to, reborn in, or otherwise find themselves in another world – often a fantasy realm filled with magic, monsters, and adventure.  The genre’s appeal lies in its escapism, power fantasies, and often, its clever subversion of traditional hero tropes.  What started as a niche interest has exploded in recent years, becoming a dominant force in anime and manga.  The genre’s success is a testament to its ability to tap into universal desires for adventure, self-discovery, and a fresh start.</p>
