There is a reason Wise Man's Grandchild keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Wise Man's Grandchild land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A young man is reborn in another world where he is adopted as a baby by the hero Merlin Wolford and named Shin. By his 15th birthday, Shin has accumulated all kinds of power by studying under Merlin, but one thing his adoptive grandfather didn't give him was a lick of common sense. The chemistry Yusuke Kobayashi and Shohei Komatsu bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Wise Man's Grandchild premiered in 2019. Wise Man's Grandchild earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to.
