Go To


  • In Accidental Centaurs, Alex and Sam not only get transported into another world, they get turned into centaurs as well (or at least they SEE themselves as centaurs — in reality, they transformed into something so strange that they'd go insane if they knew what they REALLY were).
  • The main character of Astray 3, Emily, is transported to another world by walking into a closet. She's not the only one to be magically whisked away like this, either.
  • At Arm's Length: A new character was introduced, coming from another reality. Sadly, nobody knows how he got there, aside from him just appearing on a roof top, or how to send him back. In the mean time, he will be disguised as a native, and is technically an Alien Among Us as well.
  • Vacationers contend with deadly water in Between Two Worlds while looking for a lost cat.
  • The plight of the titular characters in Bob and George, but eventually one character even points out that they are not from any megaman dimension, but nobody seems to care anymore. Given that it was actually a conspiracy to do it to Bob, and he tried to do it to George in revenge...
  • Children of Eldair: The main characters are snatched away from Earth and deposited in the world of Eldair.
  • Chitra follows the standard isekai plotline — the protagonist, an average 21st century high school girl, is run down by a speeding truck, and a god offers her a second chance at life in a fantasy world. She'll have to complete quests, gain power, and utilize RPG mechanics to level up her skills. Not to mention the harem of beautiful men she can acquire to help her on her journey, which she gains by using the god's exclusive gacha system to summon powerful pretty-boy allies.
    Phobinus, the God of Beauty: The reason why I'm here is to give you a new opportunity — The chance to live a second life! Of course it's not for free. You'll have to complete tasks given by me in your new life.

  • Invoked in Erfworld, with the summoning of the protagonist, Parson Gotti.

  • Kevin & Kell has Danielle, who is an IRS auditor. When auditing a company allegedly dumping garbage at sea, she was thrown through a stray portal, but the people on the boat expected her to bounce back as normal. When she didn't return, they threw in a life preserver, but that was being bounced back because the trampoline was repaired in the short timeframe. She was presumed to be murdered at sea. On the other side of the portal, she was transformed and now is a doppelganger for a character that was previously murdered - although she attempted to return with Nick & Ki during the crossover episode.
