I love needlessly long manga titles.
My cat launched a nuke and to stop it I married my plumber!
The Misfit Of Demon King Academy: History’s Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes To School With His Descendants.
Googled it and this one is real in case anyone is wondering
And there are people like “this is the single best manga I’ve ever read” and it’s the most generic ridiculously overspecific title and premise in history
Japanese web pages are like this too. If you look up articles (not really newspaper stuff, but just random web articles), the title always goes on about a sentence more than what we’d expect in the west. I just searched for “horror movie history” and got “What was the first horror movie and its origin? Try to think about works that have had a big influence”, whereas we’d expect a title more like “origins of the first horror movie”.

It’s from AnimeMaru, which is (was?) basically the Anime Onion.
However, “Mukuwarenakatta Murabito A, Kizoku ni Hirowarete Dekiai sareru Ue ni, Jitsu wa Motteita Densetsu-kyuu no Kami Skill mo Kakusei shita” (The Villager Who Was Abandoned, Was Picked Up by an Aristocrat and Awakened a Legendary Divine Skill) is an actual series which has an anime announced.
I had the idea for some Don Quixote style story where your average isekai fanboy gets summoned to another world, and it’s the job of a member of the royal guard to protect this guy. The fanboy is a delusional, socially inept, weak lech who is convinced he’s the main character of an eroge, and the knight (the actual protagonist) has to try and keep this idiot from getting himself killed (like explaining that peeping on the princess while she’s bathing would most likely result in execution, not a “meet-cute”). Hijinks ensue.
Kyo Kara Maoh had the most unique transportation imo. Bullies gave MC swirlies and he got sucked into another world through toilet
I’m actually surprised there aren’t Isekai where the protagonist gets send into another in the future
What about an Isekai that gets thrown into our world from a fantasy one
The Devil is a Part Timer does that.
Which is especially funny because it was ahead of its time with the anime. It came out like 4 or 5 years before the isekai genre really went wild, but it took years to finally get the second season.
There’s a whole subgenre called “reverse isekai” that does exactly that.
That’s kinda what I meant, but I was thinking more of sci-fi/cyberpunk genre
There is one but it’s getting sent to the past instead of future. Inuyasha.
Depending on how you view things however, the secondary protagonist (Inuyasha) gets sent to the future
Isn’t that Parallel Paradise?
The only ones I know involve the protagonist going to a post-apocalyptic future, like 7 Seeds or in a sense Dr.Stone, or from the past to our present like Thermae Romae. I don’t think there’s any real series from the present to a Cyberpunk/Sci-Fi future, the only one I know of is a hentai (I heard the plot is actually decent, but it’s still porn in the end).

Would sell good.
