Sensei is not your typical isekai savior or hero.

First, he has zero interest in “rebooting” his life.

Hes completely indifferent to the alternate world hes been transported to and couldnt care less about saving it.

Second, he lacks any conventional hero traits.

He isnt strong, skilled in combat, or gifted with magic.

Nor does he possess any overpowered knowledge from Earth that would give him an edge in Zauberberg.

Instead, as his supposed guide Annette quickly realizes,Sensei represents a completely new paradigmwithin the isekai genre.

While he does soon attract a group of companions, it’s far from the typical isekai harem dynamic.

He has no romantic interest in them, viewing them more as a nuisance he’d prefer to avoid.

Anime

The story does not take Osamus tragic life lightly.

Naturally, using these themes as a foundation for comedic effect may be seen as disrespectful.
