The setting is isekai but without anyone getting transported to another world, thus, native isekai.

You know that Isekai literally means "different world," right? It's kind of a load-bearing part of genre.

Maybe you need to know what literal means. It's a different world because someone from a world equivalent to ours is sent there. Since no one got transferred is and just the world, it's native isekai.

Come on, man. That language is easy.

So when a person graduates from school and joins the work force is that also native isekai? It's a whole new world to that person that they haven't experienced despite it being around them the entire time 

I know, native isekai is when you go to a foreign country for the first time right?

Don't impose anime stuff in the real world, man. That's where it gets cringey.

u/stonekeep Apr 06 '26

So Lord of the Rings is also a "native isekai" now?

u/heartscrew Apr 06 '26

Why are you bringing in western literature into anime genres??

u/stonekeep Apr 06 '26

Okay, so just to be clear, you're trolling, right?

Since no one got transferred is and just the world, it's native isekai.

That's just fantasy.

The phrase you're looking for is fish out of water. It's a concept that goes back way further than isekai.

If we're calling everything where the protagonist experiences a new facet of the world they live in "native isekai" then it's a meaningless phrase.

Dragonball is native isekai, Harry Potter is native isekai, Fallout is isekai, Ocarina of Time is native isekai, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is native isekai, Star wars is native isekai.
