Uncle From Another World follows the titular Ojisan (lit. Uncle) who’s just awoken from a 17 year coma. After waking up, it falls to his nephew Takafumi to help him get back on his feet.

However it turns out that during his coma, Ojisan was transported to another world as its hero. Originally dismissive of his delusions, Takafumi is forced to accept the truth when it turns out Ojisan can still use his fantasy world powers such as magic.
