Uncle from Another World

W E L C O M E T O T H E N E X T W O R L D 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!

UNCLE DOES WHAT OTHERS DON’T. Takafumi’s uncle returned from an alternate fantasy world after seventeen years, and now he’s (sort of) getting the hang of the twentyfirst century. From virtual YouTubers to modern netiquette, there’s a lot to learn for a guy who lives in service of games. But as Uncle recalls his memories of ax-wielding battlers and draconic forces, Takafumi keeps noticing one thing: the swooning heroines who failed to catch his romantically oblivious uncle’s attention! Can Takafumi help him get a clue, or is it too late for such a die-hard gamer?

As Takafumi learns more about his uncle’s old adventures, he can’t help wondering: How did a seventeen-year-old nerd survive those earliest days in the otherworld? Uncle attributes his success to being a game freak, whether it was dealing with a bad-attitude hedgehog or having to fight virtually everyone he met, but is that confidence talking…or delusion? And as hopeless as his uncle might be, cluelessness runs in the family. Will Takafumi finally realize his childhood friend Fujimiya’s feelings, or is even a good guy like him gonna blow it?!

If uncle tries, he can do anything! Uncle’s recollections of the otherworld are always unforgettable. Yet, few things have surprised Takafumi and Fujimiya as much as the revelation that the adventurer Alicia was a chosen hero straight out of fantasy! They say extraordinary things can happen when you believe in yourself, but could there be a deeper truth to Alicia’s role as a shining force for good…?

this fantasy uncle is in the zone! Of the many souls Uncle encountered on the other side, few stand out like the nameless female elf. Every anecdote about them crossing paths has been filled with surprises—but the time Uncle was a raging Blaze Dragon might just top the list! As the story of their rolling, sky-high clash unfolds, Takafumi and Fujimiya grow even more eager to learn the truth: Who is this mysterious and beautiful warrior, and why does she stalk the land? The answers are close at hand…

For all of Uncle’s “loner” talk, he sure teamed up with a lot of heady girls with dynamite looks! In Uncle’s stories about late hours spent with Alicia, Mabel, and Elf (as well as stories of impending doom), nights turn into discussions about whether dreams come true. As they talk, they reveal long-guarded secrets...

Uncle’s otherworld exploits have finally reached what Takafumi’s fantasy-zoned mind has longed to see: an all-out battle of swords and sorcery! As the Deified Blaze Dragon gave a loud scream, Uncle and his allies had to fight as one or face doom. Could this be the moment they became eternally renowned as champions…?

EXTRAORDINARY THINGS CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN UNCLE! Uncle’s stories continue to echo across the tides of time, and nothing thrills Takafumi and Fujimiya more than the fact that Uncle and Elf started adventuring together! But even their travelers’ tales might pale in comparison to the challenges facing Uncle in the present—like figuring out how to order at a twenty-first-century coffee shop!

Uncle and Elf continued their crawl through a veritable house of the dead, only to realize they weren’t alone—another duo had been traversing this hairy space! But after hearing Uncle get along with their new dragon girl ally, Elf found herself under attack by a monster of the green-eyed variety. Was this an adventure…or a love test?!

The latest story from the otherworld has a captive audience as Takafumi and Fujimiya witness Uncle and his new allies barely hanging on in battle. Standing before them was the Corpse King, an ancient soul of peerless caliber whose takeover of Elf’s body made him an even greater threat to all living beings. With his own powers weakened, how did Uncle survive against those one-in-a-zillion odds?!
