I'm Standing on a Million Lives


Yuusuke Yotsuya had lived a pretty solitary life after being separated from his friends. This was due to him be ostracized after moving to a new place. Consequently Yuu started to hate people, not specific people but humanity as a whole. One day the most popular girl in his class Iu Shindou approaches him and wants to get to know him. Shortly after he is transported to another world along with Iu and her friend Kusue Hakozaki. A man with the top of his head missing informs him that they are to fulfill a quest and once they finish they will be sent back to earth. The quest to fulfill the village chief's wish goes awry when Shindou is eaten by a monster as well as part of Kusue's arm making her unable to wield her sword. Will Yuu be able to protect the village and save his classmates by himself? 

As far as Isekai's go I'm Sanding on a Million Lives definitely stands out. The concept isn't new but everything about it is unique. The fact that they have quests to fulfill in both the world they are sent to and during their life on earth is unique. Also the fact that they can die and come back after thirty seconds so long as one person stays alive is pretty cool. I think people who dislike the overpowered main character trope would enjoy this since the characters start out weak and when they change jobs they go back to level one so they are continually weak, but are able to succeed because even after changing jobs they retain the skills they had from their previous job. There is also no fan service which is good for those who like to avoid it. It does have some swearing though. Overall, I would suggest it if you are looking for an isekai that strays from the standard hero and demon lord storyline.
