TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-

Makoto Misumi is an ordinary high schooler whose life is upended when a summoning ritual in another world goes wrong. A goddess briefly crowns him "hero," then insults his difference, strips his title and abandons him at the wasteland's edge. Alone on that frontier, Makoto encounters dragons, massive spiders, orc tribes, dwarves and other non-human peoples, and because he comes from a different world he can access powerful magic and combat techniques few locals have seen. Rather than chase glory, he focuses on practical survival, taming dangerous creatures, forming alliances and quietly improving the lives of people and monsters on the periphery, even though humans and gods largely shun him. He quietly mentors others on the frontier.

TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- aired in 2021 as a TV anime created by Kenta Ihara, blending fantasy, action and comedy. Lead voices include Natsuki Hanae, Ayane Sakura, Akari Kito, Saori Hayami and Yukiyo Fujii. The show balances deadpan humor with action.

The series hasn't collected major industry awards, but it resonated with viewers, holding an average user score of 8.425 out of 10 from 401 votes. Fans and some reviewers praised the strong voice performances and distinctive character designs, which helped the show stand out within the crowded isekai field.

Among isekai and fantasy anime viewers, TSUKIMICHI became known for flipping the typical summoned-hero setup, thanks to Makoto's calm, almost incidental dominance and the series' wry humor. That mix led to fan art, discussion threads and steady online interest that kept it present in niche conversations and small convention panels.

Critics and fans praised the show for combining action-heavy sequences with world-building and a low-key comedic tone. Recurring themes include abandonment, building community and redefining what heroism can mean when someone refuses spectacle. Viewers who enjoy overpowered protagonists with gentle leadership often recommend it.
