Mahou Tsukai no Oshigoto - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

I can see why the translator chose to put out this chapter all by themselves. As they said, this is a refreshing take on the isekai genre that goes in depth into the difficulties of adjusting to our modern world. It's sad that they won't continue translating this series but I really hope someone else picks this up!

Hah, a police mecha. Never change, Knight's and Magic author.

Patlabor meets Isekai, Nice!!

Godfuckingdammit, Japan.
Now a reverse isekai mecha?

@witszer, there’s hataraku maou-sama that was reverse isekai before isekai became a thing.
@RandomPasserby I too felt a strong Patlabor vibe

"Mr. Prime Minister, the demonic creatures from other dimensions are terrorizing our country! How do you plan to deal with this?"
"Our government scientists have devised a way to deal with this problem by studying the various otherworldly creatures and from exchanging knowledge with the various benevolent magical peoples that have come from these other worlds."
"Great, did you figure out how magic works and find a way to use it to prevent more portals from appearing?"
"No, but we can now make giant robots to help supplement our domestic police force!"

@rc1138: Actually, Hataraku Maou-sama was just as the isekai craze was about to get started, so I wouldn't say it's all that removed from it.

 

[Akabane]

So your telling me that in that other world they say 'itadakimasu' before they eat each meal?

 

[marianolinx]

Yes

 

[Project503]

Reverse isekai huh, actually a cool little twist. Looks promising

Girl appears out of nowhere, gets a whole apartment and not shitty four-and-half tatami either. Then cooks a decent meal out of ingredients she's probably isn't that familiar with.
That's a wet dream of every poor student.
Also, is, perhaps, Henrietta's middle name Rincewind? As the bearer of "wizzard" title.

 

[exxp]

"Japanese continent"!?

 

[Smokeball]

Nice premise, but not my cup of tea.

 

[Seraphus]

Pg 42 of all things...
You think we wouldn't notice the Terry Pratchett reference?
A "Wizzard."
😅😂🤣

She is fairly Rincewind, tho
