Isekai has joined the Oxford English Dictionary with a slew of other Japanese terms.
There is no denying the popularity of anime these days. While manga carries on its domination of graphic novel sales in the U.S., anime is on the rise just the same. From top-tier adaptations to award-winning originals, you can find anime just about everywhere. And now, it seems the Oxford English Dictionary is embracing anime with a definition for isekai.
"A Japanese genre of science or fantasy fiction featuring a protagonist who is transported to or reincarnated in a different, strange, or unfamiliar world. Also: an anime, manga, video game, etc. in this genre. Frequently as a modifier."
