A Journey Into Isekai

Join us for our most exciting convention theme yet…

What is Isekai? It’s a subgenre of anime and fantasy fiction where the hero(es) are displaced from home and transported to another world. There they must learn about a whole new land while surviving in strange conditions, ultimately to discover why they are there and how to get home! Some popular examples of Isekai in Anime and Western media include InuYasha, Digimon, Fushigi Yuugi, Kingdom Hearts, The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and The Chronicles of Narnia. In fact, when you stop to think about it Isekai is everywhere!

It’s not safe to go alone into an unknown world! Read this comic to learn about Wacky’s home world, The Vinyl Isle and arrive at PCAC23 ready to help save the day. Learn more about PopCult Anime Con’s mascots here.
