Week 10: Isekai

Isekai is an increasingly popular genre of Manga in which the protagonist suffers a, usually, abrupt transfer from one world (reality) into another. Sometimes they are teleported; sometimes they are reincarnated.  My favorite Isekai film so far is The Boy and the Beast (2015) dir. by Mamoru Hosoda. I was wrong, it is currently off Netflix. 

 Reading Assignment:  You can substitute an Isekai manga you have been wanting to read for this week's assignment if you want, but otherwise, I would like everyone to read That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime.  This is the link.
