There is a reason TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- keeps coming up in conversation. TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Makoto Misumi is just an ordinary high school student living a regular life, but all of a sudden gets summoned to the other world to become a "hero." The goddess of the other world, however, insults him for being different and strips his "hero" title, before casting him off to the wilderness at the edge of the world. As he wanders the wilderness, Makoto encounters dragons, spiders, orcs, dwarves, and all sorts of non-human tribes. Because Makoto comes from a different world, he is able to unleash unimaginable magical powers and combat skills. Natsuki Hanae and Ayane Sakura lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 3 seasons (2021–2024), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

The tonal similarities to The Faraway Paladin are real, though TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- carves out its own identity quickly.
