Uncle from Another World

About the story

Autumn 2017: Takafumi's uncle was hit by a truck at seventeen and fell into a coma. Seventeen years later, he miraculously wakes up. Takafumi visits him in the hospital, only to find him muttering nonsense to himself and claiming to have returned from another world called "Granbahamal." …His uncle has clearly lost his mind. Takafumi is at a loss, but his uncle casts a spell to prove that he really has been to another world. Takafumi decides to take his uncle back to share his apartment, partly because no other relatives are willing to help, and partly because he thinks he can use his uncle's abilities to make money. As they live together, Takafumi gradually learns about his uncle's fantastic adventures and his obsession with SEGA video games. Yet hearing about his uncle's lonely and cruel experiences sometimes leaves Takafumi feeling sorry for him even as he is entertained. This fresh, exciting otherworld comedy follows an uncle and nephew from different generations as they film videos in a corner of their apartment and work toward becoming internet celebrities.
