Synopsis
When sarcastic loner Haruka gets transported with his class to another world, he's not wild about adventuring, but he wouldn't mind having some cool powers. Unfortunately, he's last in line when the magic cheat skills get divvied up, so by the time it's Haruka's turn, there are no good choices left. Now Haruka will have to take on this fantasy world the hard way–on his own, with a hodgepodge of bizarre skills! When infighting and chaos break out among his classmates, can this loner come to the rescue? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)

Oh ok so. They're doing the whole class gets isekaied thing, but the mc gets like some nonsense.
The premise by itself actually has potential but it depends a lot on not just the main character, but what actually happens to the rest of the class

@MegamiRem the mc is kinda out of touch with reality(yeah, the usual he dont know he actually strong, but in other ways too, so its not completely generic.) The mc talks in a specifics style of dialogues, that you may find funny or not, depends on the individual. The light novel has raunchy parts the web novel i read even more so. Thats all for now.

More generic isekai to watch.

As I was reading through the manga adaptation, I was wondering why an isekai manga adaptation of a light novel had so many chapters (I stopped reading after 190 chapters!) and no anime adaptation.

Although, to be honest, I probably couldn't tell you a single plot point of the manga even at gunpoint. I think some bullies and gyarus are mean to the MC at some point, but that's typical for a "classroom isekai(?)". How did nothing sink in even after reading so many chapters LMAOOOOO?

ANYWAY, I put the manga on my interest stack for predicting future anime adaptations after seeing the leaks for future anime announcements. Glad to know that they're reliable.

They really fucked with us by giving us a near 2 month break of short black haired mc isekai fantasy anime announcements

Great, another isekai with a lone protagonist who becomes the strongest? This is truly something new....

Okay, congratulations to fans of the novella for the adaptation, which will also be released very soon, given the complete lack of information - sometime in the summer or fall season.

Ooh, now this I'm hoping will be a good one. I really enjoy the light novels so far. I've always wanted to see the girls yell at Haruka and seeing them have their girl talk. Wondering how much censoring there's going to be since there are a bunch of bathing scenes and sexy times, in the light novel at least.
