異世界失格 [Isekai Shikkaku]

In Isekai Shikkaku (2020–present, Shogakukan), a suicidal, jaded novelist is transported to a fantasy world—but unlike typical isekai heroes, he has no interest in adventure, romance, or saving the realm. Instead, he relentlessly seeks a dignified way to die, subverting the genre's conventions with dark comedy and existential angst. Written and illustrated by Hiroshi Noda, this 14-issue series (and ongoing) matters for its sharp, satirical take on the isekai formula, offering a refreshingly nihilistic protagonist whose apathy becomes its own kind of rebellion.
