History Manga / UncleFromAnotherWorld

* {{Deconstrution}}: The series deconstructs the typical ''{{Isekai}}'' power fantasy scenario of a friendless, socially awkward {{Otaku}} to be sent to another world: While he gains the power, his slovenly appearance, lack of socialization, and general cluelessness make the experience a nightmare instead.

Once he is out of hospital, however, Yōsuke finds that his powers barely help him deal with the changes on Earth in the intervening seventeen years, ranging between the World Wide Web, the rise of smartphones, Japanese pop culture, and the demise of Creator/{{Sega}} as a video game console powerhouse. With the help of his nephew, who offers him to live with him, Yōsuke adapts to the much-changed world.

Conversely, Yōsuke shows Takafumi, as well as his childhood friend Sumika Fujimiya, video clips of his many not-so-sweet memories of the world of Granbahamal, what with him being frequently mistaken for a sapient orc on account of his gaunt appearance, even as both Takafumi and Sumika bemoan all the opportunities he missed to at least make his life better, in particular reciprocating the affection of three beautiful girls--an elven princess, an ice witch, and a priestess.\\

''Uncle from Another World'' (JP: ''Isekai Ojisan'') is a fantasy comedy manga by Hotondoshindeiru that started in June 2018. It's licensed in English by Creator/YenPress.

Takafumi's uncle Kousuke awakes in 2017 after having been in a coma for seventeen years. However, it turns out he had been transported to a fantasy world and had been surviving there for all the years he'd been unconscious. Now he’s back, and he's got the magical powers he acquired during his time there. But now he must try to adapt to a world that is much changed from what he remembers, with Takafumi to help him out. A parallel plot is Uncle’s adventures in the other world, which he shows to Takafumi through a magic spell.

Takafumi’s uncle Kousuke awakes in 2017 after having been in a coma for seventeen years. However, it turns out he had been transported to a fantasy world and had been surviving there for all the years he’d been unconscious. Now he’s back, and he’s got the magical powers he acquired during his time there. But now he must try to adapt to a world that is much changed from what he remembers, with Takafumi to help him out. A parallel plot is Ojisan’s adventures in the other world, which he shows to Takafumi through a magic spell.

* BalancedHarem: Ojisan has three potential love interests in the fantasy world and each girl has equal amounts of screen time with him. Since all Ojisan wants is to return to his world, no one ever makes romantic progress with him.
* BattleHarem: Ojisan's harem is formed by an elf swordswoman, a girl with ice powers and a magic priestess.
* FlashbackBPlot: The story alternates between Ojisan's isekai adventures and Ojisan settling back in Earth.
* ForegoneConclusion: Ojisan makes it back. [[spoiler: Which means he eventually leaves the world where he suffered, but also the friends he made there.]]

* KafkaComedy: Nearly half this manga is Ojisan's suffering and inconvenience in both worlds.
* MemoryJar: One of Ojisan's spells allows memories to be displayed.

** Whenever Ojisan invokes spirits for powers, they demand something in return. On a hot day, he invoked the spirits for ice, and they demanded a cow’s head or else they would cover the world in ice. [[spoiler: They settled for a fish's head.]]

* SecretKeeper: Takafumi and Fujimiya for Ojisan's magical powers.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ojisan brought back priceless jewelry from the isekai world, but they were too rare to be measured by Earth's values and so the jewelry was given a value of 50 yen.

* TraumaCongaLine: Ojisan's isekai was pretty much this: he started off with being sold as an orc to a freak show, for 3 copper coins. Imagine seventeen years of similar treatment.
* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Because Ojisan has already returned, his adventures are told through a spell that views memories.

* WorldOfJerkass: Ojisan spent 17 years in a fantasy world full of jerks who would beat him up just because he's ugly like an orc by that world's standards. He did make a few allies, but even they attacked him at least once.

* FlashbackBPlot: The story alternates between Ojisan’s isekai adventures and Ojisan settling back in Earth.
