Always interesting to see more adaptations of manga adaptations specifically turning up like this. I've been noting this trend and seeing it become more of a thing over time, even though most casual anime viewers don't really tend to care, or consider it trivial. (Even though the source material for an anime is obviously important.)
I feel like in a few years "anime adapted from a light novel" and "anime adapted from a manga adaptation of a light novel" are going to become more individually distinct types of anime.

Anyway, can't say no to some good ole' Hideki Furukawa designs. I might give this series a look depending on what else will be streaming in the summer.
These OP protag isekai stories can get a little hard to gauge with just their base plot info, though. Does anyone familiar with the manga know what this series' charm points are?

In that context, I hope some studio adapts the when they cry manga.

Stuff like this always makes me wonder if they are actually trying to create the most generic, unoriginal series ever without resorting to actual plagiarism. Will AI ever be able to stoop this low?

"From Overshadowed to Overpowered" - Well, at least the title is honest.

Do we even need the protagonist to have reincarnated from modern Earth if he's going to reincarnate again in the same fantasy setting? They'll probably just drop that aspect after the first episode.
