Seventeen years ago, Takafumi’s uncle fell into a coma, but now he has returned as a man risen from his grave. Takafumi soon discovers two strange things: His uncle values video games above all else, and, although in a coma, he has actually been transported to another world as some sort of heroic guardian! Now Takafumi not only has to live with an uncle who is literally magical, but he also has to catch up to the boy with two decades of history – smartphones, high-speed internet, modern anime tropes… and the traumatic result of the 90s console war!
