New Manga Release: Another World Summoner in Modern Fantasy Japan
There is some really interesting news for manga lovers today. On March 12th, Earth Star Entertainment has officially released the first volume of Yanma Kanara's new series titled Another World Summoner, Unparalleled in Modern Times with Mythological Monsters - A Betrayed Former Hero Wants to Live Peacefully with His Loving Friends. Actually, this is the comic adaptation of the popular novel written by Kinu Ai Ochi. If you like stories where the hero gets a second chance, this one is definitely for you.
The Journey of Reishin: From Betrayal to a New Reality
The story follows our main lead, Reishin, who had a very rough start. Back when he was just in his third year of junior high school, he got caught in a falling rock accident and was suddenly transported to another world. Over there, he found out he had a very rare talent as a summoner. He spent three long years fighting and finally managed to defeat the demon king. But instead of getting a hero's welcome, the people feared his immense power and executed him as a traitor. It’s quite sad how they treated him after all that hard work.
However, instead of dying permanently, Reishin woke up back in a bed in Japan. But here is the twist—it is not the same Japan he left behind. He has landed in a fantasy Japan where dungeons and monsters are a normal part of daily life. Even the summoned beasts he fought alongside in the other world have appeared here. This unique setting is one of the big reasons why many are saying this Another World Summoner series could be a major hit.
Key Elements of the Story
- The Betrayed Hero: Reishin's past life was full of struggle, and now he just wants to live a quiet life without any more betrayals.
- Yandere Summoned Beasts: The beasts Reishin left behind suffered a lot when they were separated from him. Now that they are reunited, their love for him has become quite heavy and borderline obsessive.
- Fantasy Modern Setting: Seeing mythological monsters in a modern city like Japan makes the plot very fresh compared to standard isekai stories.
- Mythological Monsters: The creatures Reishin subdues are not just random monsters; they have deep mythological roots and very strong personalities.
A Deeper Love and Heavier Stakes
Reishin initially decided that he wouldn't get too attached to his beasts anymore because he didn't want to worry about leaving them behind again. But the beasts have other plans. Because they felt the pain of losing their master once, they are now expressing a much more intense and "heavy" kind of love for him. It is going to be very interesting to see how he manages these powerful, slightly yandere monsters while trying to navigate the dungeons of this new Japan. If you enjoy action mixed with some complex character emotions, you should check out this Volume 1 release.
