Following the release of three new chapters on self-publishing website Shosetsuka ni Naro today, including an epilogue and a prologue, In Another World With My Smartphone author Patora Fuyuhara confirmed the conclusion of the isekai series’ decade-long story.
Fuyuhara first began publishing the series online in April 2013 before it was picked up for print by HJ Bunko in 2015 and subsequently adapted into both manga and anime. J-Novel Club publishes an official English version of the light novels, while Yen Press licenses Soto’s manga adaptation.
The recent second season of the In Another World With My Smartphone anime was directed by Yoshiaki Iwasaki (Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?) at studio J.C.STAFF, taking over from Yuji Yanase at Ashi Productions, with series composition by Deko Akao (The Case Study of Vanitas) and character designs by Chinatsu Kameyama (Kemono Michi: Rise Up), who also served as chief animation director.
Crunchyroll streams both seasons and describes the story:
After dying as a result of God’s mistake, the main character finds himself in a parallel world, where he begins his second life. His only possessions are the body that God gave back to him and a smartphone that works even in this new world.
As he meets all kinds of new people and forges new friendships, he ends up learning the secret to this world. He inherits the legacy of an ancient civilization and works together with the kings of some very laid-back countries on his carefree travels through this new world.
