Inspired by themes from Osamu Dazai’s iconic novel No Longer Human, this unique isekai story begins with a premise steeped in tragedy and existential despair. The protagonist, burdened by an overwhelming sense of disconnection and failure, resolves to end his life with his lover in a double suicide. Yet, even in this act, fate intervenes in the most surreal way—just as he leaps into death, a truck strikes him, catapulting him into another world.
Awakening in a realm vastly different from his own, the protagonist is not greeted by salvation or understanding, but by a new set of challenges. Strangely, his thoughts remain fixated on his original goal: reuniting with his lover to complete the act of suicide they had planned together. For him, this bizarre and fantastical world is not an escape or an adventure—it is an obstacle to his ultimate desire.
The story is laced with dark humor and irony, as the protagonist’s grim determination clashes with the conventions of the typical isekai genre. Where other characters might seek power, glory, or a new lease on life, his focus is singular and macabre: finding his lover, who he assumes must also have been transported to this world.
Isekai Shikkaku Plot
As the protagonist traverses this strange land, the protagonist encounters beings who challenge his perspective. Some try to dissuade him from his morbid mission, offering glimpses of hope or redemption. Others, recognizing his dark determination, attempt to use him for their own ends, mistaking his obsession for strength. Along the way, he acquires skills and abilities typical of isekai stories, but they serve only as tools for his grim quest.
Despite its heavy themes, the narrative weaves moments of absurdity and reflection into the protagonist’s journey. His interactions with the world and its inhabitants bring forth questions about the nature of despair, human connection, and the possibility of redemption, even in the unlikeliest circumstances.
Ultimately, this isekai tale subverts the genre’s tropes, offering a story that is both darkly comedic and deeply introspective. It challenges readers to consider what it means to truly live—and whether, in the face of insurmountable despair, one can find a reason to keep going. With its blend of tragedy, dark humor, and existential exploration, this story stands out as a thought-provoking take on the isekai genre.
