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！

Isekai - Reverse Course and Full Speed Ahead！The main character that this story is primarily based upon （who shall be referred to as Uncle since I cannot recall if he ever gave a name） was struck by a truck at the age of 17 and was in a coma for 17 more years。 After awakening to a different world then what he knew he gets to meet his nephew Takafumi who has grown up。 Of course when I say the world is different I am not just talking about losing 17 years in a coma and suddenly seeing a new societ Isekai - Reverse Course and Full Speed Ahead！The main character that this story is primarily based upon （who shall be referred to as Uncle since I cannot recall if he ever gave a name） was struck by a truck at the age of 17 and was in a coma for 17 more years。 After awakening to a different world then what he knew he gets to meet his nephew Takafumi who has grown up。 Of course when I say the world is different I am not just talking about losing 17 years in a coma and suddenly seeing a new society。 Certainly there is that too as Uncle learns about all sorts of things like how to make money on YouTube and what happened to the Sega systems during the game council wars but also for the past 17 years Uncle has been in another world of high fantasy named Granbahamal where he not only had to learn their language but he had to try hard to survive thanks to being so far below the average line for beauty in this world he was basically treated as a monster himself。Needless to say Uncle is back in the real world now and Takafumi decides he can use his uncles magical skills that he learned in the other world to be able to afford his lodgings while also getting Uncle to spill about some of the things from the other world that are not so bad they require a memory erasure spell。 Having a magical Sega obsessed Uncle with no sense of how to treat real women is going to be a challenge Takafumi is willing to endure for family。 Especially if the rest of the Family is unable or unwilling to help。So here is the basics of what you will find in this book。1。 Icuras Elran Uncle doesn't just tell his nephew about his times in the other world he has a spell that conjures a window into the past （seeing as he can zoom， change angles， and hear things far out of range when looking through them。）2。 Gritty Art Bombs While the manga can have some pretty typical art now and then when a dark moment or feeling of grief happens the art will drop into dark mode with super shades as black as the darkest of black coffees。 This helps offer tension and differentiates everyday thoughts from painful recollections or thoughts。3。 Dude where is my love interest？ It seems Uncle has never been the most socially adept person before the accident and being in a world that hated him for his appearance for 17 years didn't help him much。 This leads to some interesting mistakes Uncle has made in the past and it seems Takafumi is equally as clueless at least by one of female friends。4。 Magic is my Life Hack If you have magical powers and powerful artifacts why not use them to make life easier？ Sadly having grown up in a dangerous world Uncle does not always use his powers in an appropriate way though。5。 Man out of Time Uncle still remembers how things were when he was in the real world last and having some income form his YouTube videos he can finally get some of the things he has always wanted。。。however some things as coo las they were back then are out of date now or not in circulation anymore so Uncle will have to get used to how different the world is a little a a time。 :） 。。。more

This is meant to be a parody of isekai stories。 The uncle was in a coma for 17 years， but actually he spent that time in another world。 He had a pretty bad experience， he was considered ugly for the fantasy standards and an outsider。 When he wakes up from coma he moves in with his nephew， after he proves that he can still use magic。 They find an unconventional way to make money off his powers while the uncle tells stories of his time in the other world。 The setting is interesting but I didn’t fi This is meant to be a parody of isekai stories。 The uncle was in a coma for 17 years， but actually he spent that time in another world。 He had a pretty bad experience， he was considered ugly for the fantasy standards and an outsider。 When he wakes up from coma he moves in with his nephew， after he proves that he can still use magic。 They find an unconventional way to make money off his powers while the uncle tells stories of his time in the other world。 The setting is interesting but I didn’t find the jokes that funny。 The story is all over the place from the uncle discovering smart phones and youtube to retelling depressing， traumatic stories in the fantasy world with tsundere elves。 I was curious about the cute elf in the cover but she is only in the flashbacks and even then the communication between her and the uncle was really bad。 The joke is supposed to be that she is a tsundere and he took her literally， but it just comes off as being rude/mean。 。。。more

Takafumi’s uncle wakes from a coma 17 years after being struck by a car。 He might not have physically moved， but he was actually off living a life of adventure in another world。 There’s some serious readjustment ahead， but it’s not like life in another world was a bed of roses either…Boy， this might not be a black comedy， there are too many screwball moments for that， but it sure is bleak enough。 It veers into some pretty mean territory， but it manages enough laughs that I came down just on the Takafumi’s uncle wakes from a coma 17 years after being struck by a car。 He might not have physically moved， but he was actually off living a life of adventure in another world。 There’s some serious readjustment ahead， but it’s not like life in another world was a bed of roses either…Boy， this might not be a black comedy， there are too many screwball moments for that， but it sure is bleak enough。 It veers into some pretty mean territory， but it manages enough laughs that I came down just on the side of liking it。Uncle， as I shall forever call him， is a hopeless gamer dweeb who accidentally destroyed his extended family （totally not his fault， but you can tell the flavour of this series when Takafumi reveals all） by being put in a coma and he’s far more concerned about who won the Sega-Nintendo console wars than learning how society functions 17 years on。He’s not one of those high school prodigies who had it easy in another world either。 He clearly picked up some tricks， which he uses in the most hilariously mundane fashion （he can fly and has a pocket dimension for inventory， which he uses to circumvent shipping charges and to post YouTube videos respectively）， but faced with nothing but beautiful JRPG NPCs， they all thought he was an orc and tried to kill him （hey， I said it was bleak）。Having left earth before tsunderes became popular means he is utterly clueless around the ridiculously stereotypical elf girl， who runs away with this book as my favourite character。 She’s relentless in her pursuit and affection， but having no experience with this sort of behaviour means Uncle just sees her as a nuisance who won’t leave him alone。Later， Uncle not only skips out on helping a young lady whose sole job has been to wait for a hero to claim a very powerful sword， but he manages to impart some truly lousy advice that really puts the kibosh on her aspirations。 It’s definitely interesting to see an isekai hero who does as much harm as he does good。The book’s biggest faults show up in the latter half when Takafumi’s childhood friend shows up。 There’s some borderline stuff with memory erasure here that I didn’t love and she doesn’t get the best treatment （although Uncle’s assessment of her is mostly bang on and I do love how he refuses to prove his magic ability because he’s a performer now and he won’t do it for free）。I think this book has a lot of good parts and the problem is that Uncle is only occasionally one of them。 He and Takafumi have an interesting relationship， but I don’t love how he treats women。 The bonus manga where the tsundelf wears his hoodie and he wants it back really crosses a line for me （although she does righteously get him back in a way I appreciated） and it didn’t leave the best final impression， even if his intent is not what you think it is。 Some things you just shouldn’t joke about。It’s so hard to put a rating on this book。 It’s not the best looking thing， it has questionable taste a couple times， but it does have some good gags and is actually pretty decent at lampooning the isekai and fantasy genres。 I think 3 stars， with caveats， is safe enough， since I do feel like another volume might be better， especially if it can soften the edges a little。 。。。more

3，5/5Une chouette manière de revisiter les univers fantasy et ceux des jeux vidéos。 Un manga original et très prenant， surtout dans le style de dessin où les personnages principaux de l’oncle et du neveu ont des traits occidentaux。 Hâte de savoir ce que la suite nous réserve ！
