Isekai Mou Kaeritai

For Shimoyamaguchi Ichirou, life was a quiet, comfortable rhythm. As an ordinary salaryman, he found profound satisfaction in life’s simple simplicities: a good meal, a restful night’s sleep, and the peaceful routine of his daily existence. He never yearned for adventure or glory, content in the modest happiness of his world. That fragile peace, however, is shattered without warning when he is abruptly summoned to a fantastical realm, expected to don the mantle of a hero and save their kingdom from ruin. Yet, the grand welcome he anticipated never comes. Instead of being hailed as a savior, Ichirou is met with the cold, dismissive stares of a world that sees him as a disappointing failure—a one-star hero in a sea of legendary champions. With no grand powers, no prophetic destiny, and no respect from the very people who dragged him from his home, his isekai adventure is a bitter, humiliating ordeal. His only desire, burning brighter than any quest, is a simple, desperate plea: to return to his own world. Stripped of his ordinary life and thrust into a reality that treats him with contempt, Ichirou must navigate a hostile land where he is the unwanted guest. The path forward is uncertain, but his resolve is clear. As he faces each new day in a world that despises him, the question remains: will this disheartened salaryman ever find a way back to the life he once cherished, or is he fated to remain a forgotten pawn in a game he never wished to play?
