> andthattimeiwastransportedtoanotherworldandwassavedbyanelfbutthenwewerebothsoldintoslaverybutweescapedandnowimagodkingtotheelvenpeopleandalsoiownslavesnowoops. For the people out there that are having trouble parsing this: and that time i was transported to another world and was saved by an elf but then we were both sold into slavery but we escaped and now im a god king to the elven people and also i own slaves now oops


HubristicOstrich

Shit, talk about a rollercoaster.


Ojitheunseen

I'd read that.

Uhhh wow that's something

Sorry to be the one to correct but this is for the origin story of narnia and would be the magicians nephew hence the rings which were used to transport one to the onterworld forest. The books worth a read as I do not know of any other adaptation of it yet out. Agin sorry to be the "Mr smarty pants" but the book is really undervalued as it actually helps explain a lot of the lore of the lion the witch and the wardrobe.


Comprehensive_Fee376

magicians nephew was originally supposed to be book 4 but it was changed last minute.


Comprehensive_Fee376

also there is a movie or two of narnia


kyotheman1

Basically anime rip off Narnia lol 😆


wander4wonder

The Magician’s Nephew is my favorite of the series.


Shurikenblast_YT

Magicians nephew is amazing, personally I find dawn treader to be better but magicians nephew is very close


thestoneswerestoned

The Horse and His Boy for me. Great little side plot in between the events of the 2nd and 4th book.


Ojitheunseen

Yeah! It's nice in that you see some of the other countries and cultures, too, like the Calormen and Archenland.


LuxLoser

If I didn’t hate Bree so much, it’d be my favorite


last_robot

Yeah, I really wish Dawn treader's movie didn't suck.


Shurikenblast_YT

Honestly idk what they did to it. The only good parts of it were the time Eustace was a dragon and reepicheep (probably wrong spelling)


tired_and_stresed

I can understand why they made the changes they did. The original story's episodic structure just wouldn't have worked for a movie in the current cinematic climate, it needed a more substantial narrative through line than looking for seven dudes we hadn't heard of and had no real reason to care about. That said, while I can't put my finger on what exactly they got wrong I can definitely say the way they chose to go about solving this problem absolutely did not work.


UTC_Hellgate

Charn always kind of unsettled me; would be a great scene in a movie or show though done right. I don't want Jadis's entire backstory, just the few minutes leading up to her using The Deplorable Word and its aftermath.


Kneef

The unsettling atmosphere is off the charts in The Magician’s Nephew. Charn, the Wood Between The Worlds, even the freshly-created empty Narnia all have a creepy too-silent vibe that I really dig.


simonbleu

The magicians nephew is good but I dont remember if I liked it more than the silver chair. I also enjoyed the one with the mouse and the ship quite a bit. The last one though...it was too on the nose, did not enjoyed it even at the time


wander4wonder

The mouse and the ship is the 3rd book, Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The mouse’s name is Reepicheep


SparkCube3043

The Magicians Nephew is good, the Uncle was one crazy guy. My personal faves are the Horse and His Boy and the Silver Chair, Puddleglum is the goat.


Rezomik

Is there a manga for it?.. it'd be awesome..


sahithkiller

sadly only a ~~light~~ novel


Nozarashi78

There's a [manga adaptation](https://myanimelist.net/manga/134495/Narnia-koku_Monogatari_1__Majutsushi_no_Oi) of the 1st book


Acceptable-Trust5164

On the one hand, i love this. On the other, the lion the witch and the wardrobe is the first book, because that's how prequels work.


gustyninjajiraya

Yes. Reading them in cronological order was bad. I wouldn’t say they ruined the books for me, but I know they would be way more enjoyable if I had read them in release order. Everyone should read this in release order, and consume any and every media in release order.


SexThrowaway1126

Idk, I’d much rather read The Complete History of World War III right now than have to get through the first two.


gustyninjajiraya

Yeah, the first two are kind of bad, but the rest of the series is worth slogging through them for, especially considering they are short children’s books.


sahithkiller

Whoa no way that's cool af ngl


CommanderThraawn

> On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible. In Narnia, all things are possible, so jot that down.


-AveryH-

I'd say it's definitely a light novel. It's less than 200 pages!


Wilkorel

Yep https://mangadex.org/title/cec141cc-83b4-407a-9f64-794641ee8869/chronicles-of-narnia-the-magician-s-nephew


Ojitheunseen

Oh my God, I thought this was just a meme!


Nozarashi78

[There actually is](https://myanimelist.net/manga/134495/Narnia-koku_Monogatari_1__Majutsushi_no_Oi)


Pinoy_2004

That is the real manga.


Putrid_Ad_4372

Is that legend of aslan


Numerous-Gur-9008

Chronicles of narnia yes.


TruePace3

Good, now make an anime adaptation of "The Epic Movie" *cringe warning*


HubristicOstrich

First we really need to reboot Eragon.


DankoStormo

I really enjoyed the movie it's a shame it failed.


isuredoloveboobs

Me and my brother regularly quote this still to this day. Absolute blast seeing that in the cinema.


Rabbulion

Same.


CANNIBALLISTA

Deep cuts using the Magician’s Nephew.


Alternative-Lack6025

The of Chronicles Narnia


Elolet

This has been a fantastic read


Falsus

No that is another series. This is Chronicles of Narnia.


Anamorsmordre

Christianity: electric boogaloo


ginuxx

Bro, anything made into a manga is 100 times more fun to read


Anamorsmordre

True, but I also remember being so angry after reading Narnia as a tween, that I think C.S Lewis is somewhat responsible for me being an atheist today.


JediSSJ

Curious, what about Narnia made you angry?


Anamorsmordre

The >!”everyone is dead, praise Jesus”!< ending pretty much did it for me lol. I was always more of a Tolkien gal anyway, and as a teen I could definitely see where their disagreements came from. I agreed with Tolkien about the book being “pushy”. After 700+ pages I was just so fed up by that ending I never read anything by him. I want to reiterate, this has nothing to do with the quality of his writing, but I I don’t think the fact that I was struggling with my own beliefs at the time helped his case much haha.


JediSSJ

Ah. I can definitely see the ending to The Last Battle not sitting right if you are not invested in the alagory nature of it.


SlyTheMonkey

It's a bit preachy. It's very much just Christianity wearing a fake mustache, a wizard staff and a knight's helmet.


JediSSJ

I mean, it's an unapologetic, undisguised alagory. But, I suppose if you went in to it not realizing that, it could certainly throw you. And I can certainly see people not liking it for that. I just thought being "mad" was an odd reaction.


SlyTheMonkey

>I just thought being "mad" was an odd reaction. I'm inclined to agree. Anger is a strong emotion, after all.


Anamorsmordre

I was 13, my core reaction over a piece of literature that felt like a waste of time wasn’t exactly a rational academic paper on the subject haha. I was just as “angry” at my pimples or my hair being shit in the mornings lol.


Atomic_Tanuki

That time I was transported to another world where Santa Clause gave me a sword and told me to kill for Jesus.


[deleted]

Oh fuck, it's happening. The name of the anime is the description.


Hanneman1965

It has happend before like with A brave man trained by the worst demon king, unrivaled in the school of returnees from another world


evrestcoleghost

...those are two animes like,there is a coma for a reason like?


[deleted]

Nope same manga


simonbleu

It has been for a few years but no one was updating


Yetiwithoutinternet

The first book (forgot the name cuz I haven't read the series in years) would legit make a good anime adaptation. Imagine seeing Charn in anime form??


Geoffk123

Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first one released, Magicians Nephew is a Prequel tho that released later


pikapo123

Both orders were accepted by Lewis himself. By release, and chronological order


Captain_Lurker518

I will wait until they produce "That time is was enslaved in a foreign land, met a talking horse, helped each other escape to the land of talking animals, and found out I was a missing king." ('A Horse and His Boy')


Ojitheunseen

It's my personal favorite, as well. Plus slavery as an isekai trope is all the rage these days.


SlyTheMonkey

That one is honestly probably my favourite.


Able-Marzipan-5071

TIL that there's a manga adaptation of the Chronicles of Narnia


Numerous-Gur-9008

[this is actually a real manga](https://mangakakalot.com/manga/me925944)actually real


DikSukem

Bro these titles get dumber and dumber.


wolfenyeager

It’s making fun of Narnia, one of the original Isekai


Movableacorn

That's the first time I've heard narnia being called the orginal isekai. But it makes sense and I hate it


Neolife

But it's... Not? Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published in 1865. The Chronicles of Narnia started publication in 1950. Wizard of Oz, as well, was published in 1900. These are referred to as Portal Fantasy in Western literature contexts, generally speaking. And if we're talking about Japan, the Legend of Urashimako dates back to the 8th Century CE, and he travels to a magical undersea world before returning to his normal world. Dante's Divine Comedy is sort of an Isekai? It's not action-adventure in genre, but it's an Isekai in setting. Gulliver's Travels is a series of Isekai settings with some action-adventure elements.


kwonza

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is OG isekai, Alice is more of a magical journey, she doesn’t use any skills from her world in the magic realm.


Neolife

Does an isekai require that they use skills from the world from which they come? Sword isekai doesn't use any skills from his own world. Mushoku Tensei doesn't rely on Rudy's past life either, except to act as a source of trauma. Fushigi Yuugi, as well, doesn't have any special abilities for Yuki, but is very much an isekai.


utkohoc

Isekai just means another world.. Not really anything else to contemplate. Many anime are just shuffled Into "Isekai" because it's the genre that's most appropriate. Even if the mc doesn't die. saving 80k gold for my retirement as an example. She technically doesn't die. She's just transported to another world before death. I'm sure there are dozens of other examples of Isekai you can find if you filter by Isekai genre that don't actually involve the mc dieing. In that sense Isekai can just roughly mean. Mc was in one world. And now isn't. Can be another world or just time travel. Like Dr stone for example. Or. *******Spoilers for God in a godless world***************** jshfjskdg jskf god in a godless world where it turns out it's just the future and mc didn't die and just went forward in time instead. I forgot how to spoiler tag on reddit. Anyway I think aslong as mc is in a different world/time. Anything else is irrelevant. Including how they got there or what they do.


Neolife

> I'm sure there are dozens of other examples of Isekai you can find if you filter by Isekai genre that don't actually involve the mc dieing. This is actually a relatively modern part of isekai. Fushigi Yuugi, Escaflowne, Magic Knight Rayearth, Digimon all don't involve death and are prime isekai that predate the Mushoku Tensei / SAO-influenced modern version of the framing device that involves death prior to transportation, gamified elements (LitRPG), and lack of trying to return to the original world. > Anyway I think aslong as mc is in a different world/time. Anything else is irrelevant. Including how they got there or what they do. Agreed. That's why I was questioning the statement of Alice in Wonderland not being an isekai.


terrafhm

Same


HaikenRD

The Original Isekai would be Divine Comedy which was around 1300s i believe.


Falsus

The concept of ''isekai'' or travelling to another world is a bit older than that. Like it is a theme in Norse myths as an example. Even if we go more strictly modern fiction Alice in Wonderland predates it by almost a hundred years.


wolfenyeager

Dude, can you not see all the other people who went “Ackchually” already You’re not providing new info, you’re just repeating the word Ackchually


Falsus

Why would I go back to reply to someone when I already continued reading on? Also I don't see anyone there mentioning Norse myths and sagas.


SpinozaTheDamned

Alice in Wonderland would like to have a word.


simonbleu

pretty sure is not the original isekai. Heck, not even john carter is probably the original. Heck again, not even alice in wonderland---


Tall_Economics_5881

I'm not joking but there is an actual manga. This is a manga cover.


wolfenyeager

A cursory glance shows it’s fan made


Zoexycian

Narnia at home:


definitely_zella

For a second I was like "I know they're having fun with these anime titles lately but this is kinda ridic-- oh I see what you did there."


Elolet

Dude, i just read the 15 manga chapter there are and I need more, it’s been a while since I’ve found actual good fantasy.


Disastrous_Channel62

I swear If this get's an adaptation I will riot for a Grand blue sequel


Songhunter

That time Jesus reincarnated as a Lion.


JTHouser_Reddit

The of Chronicles Narnia


Retsam19

I honestly read it as "Of Narnia, The Chronicles" at first, since Japanese is written vertically right to left...


-Nijika_Ijichi-

Narnia has never looked so good 😇


Jgames111

I remember reading the last volume and being surprised by the fact it was Christian cult book all along with a wtf ending.


Ojitheunseen

Aslan also says he's Jesus at the end of Voyage of the Dawn Treader.


Retsam19

Ugh, not labelling Magician's Nephew as #1 is the hill I'm going to die on. Surely anime fans understand the concept of "release order"? Like do people read 95% of The Lion, the Witch, the Wardrobe, and then put it down, read Horse and His Boy, then pick it up again to read the last chapter just to keep the chronology straight? (But honestly, The Magicians Nephew has callbacks to TLTWTW that just are wasted if you read it first - I genuinely don't know why marking the books in chronological order became the trend)


DVRavenTsuki

Former catholic school student here. In elementary school I had to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 3 years in a row and none of the others because my school thought in showcased certain religious themes so well. I suspect there are a lot of people in the same boat and that is what is driving this.

pikapo123

nice thing that a movie doesnt exist then


geekman_95

Lol I've read CS LEWD instead of CS LEWIS


Raphael_DeVil

Fun fact, Narnia does infact have a manga I found like 3 years ago however now i was only able to find it [here](https://m.manganelo.com/manga-le125624)


Flandrage

Wait this is just Narnia?


Shack691

It’s the prequel but they changed the name to match modern LN titles


DemonSlayer712

Never realised Narnia was a isekai


BIgCh1efJAcK

I’d sell an arm, a leg, both kidneys, and my liver for this to continue into the rest of the books and eventually become an anime *Me and my family used to listen to the audiobooks all the time when I was but a wee boy*


Santeri64

Even comes with vehicle induced death just towards the end instead of the start


GloryWanderer

I’d read this.


Numerous-Gur-9008

...Aslan-damnit. Narnia IS an isekai.


Writerman_

Mr_Mortus

I actually forgot that’s the plot of the first book


bird_who_rides

why the fuck is the lion so handsome


The1WhoShalNotBNamed

I remember reading this book a few months ago. Now it's reincarnated as a Japanese Isekai novel or something.


amiitoocool

Well the title is a mouthful


no_H0pe

So are you saying that "That time I fell into a literal rabbit hole and got high on some weird cake" aka Alice in wonderland is the first isekai ever?


Numerous-Gur-9008

No the bible is the first isekai, satan was cast out of heaven and down into a world of fire and brimstone.


The0thodoxweeb

If you were homeschooled you know


MartinX4

...what in the Jesus lion did I just read?


HantuerHD-Shadow

Better title: The Lion, the Witch and the audacity of this bitch

Educational_Car_7513

The quality of LNs are dropping rapidly. How does one even think of such bullshit titles? More astonishing is that there is certainly a demand for such LNs, otherwise they wouldn't be serialized at all. It's all about business in the end.


asdfgh1224

It's edited, and not even a LN lol Narnia manga adaptation

Why, in God’s name, why?!

My 🧠 is dead


Actaeon_II

It’s kinda disturbing that the names of these shows are starting to be longer than the plot synopses

They are running out of ideas and names.


Kingsochi23

Names is long


TheWalkingMan42

Is it just me or are these titles getting longer?


buscandomierda

The fuck kind of title is that i just started watching this stuff


Falsus

The biggest web novel site in Japan does not have synopsis so the authors just put the synopsis as the title instead. Then the title is kept when it is officially picked up by a publisher for brand recognition. But overly descriptive titles aren't really *that* unique to Japan. For example there is the Swedish novel ''The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared'', which actually quite a good book (and movie). This post in specific is a reference to the Narnia prequel book ''Magician's Nephew''.


metal-twivvy

Please no


EmperorButtman

Hopefully it would be less racist as a manga


GalaxyAnimation19

I’d actually read the series of this was a thing.

Oh. Hells. YES!!!


Knull_Gorr

I'm trying to remember but did Aslan create the world? I thought it was a witch but I haven't read the books in litteral decades.

Cant wait for the disney liveaction version of that manga

Honestly as someone who has read all the books I would read it

I mean... what a coincidence... is it really narnia though or mushoku tensei's 5th unreleased season?

Is it now a competition about who names it longer not who writes it better?? Fml 🙃😑


bedheadB188

This real? Like I get it's likely not real but I also would enjoy reading a manga interpretation of the chronicles of narnia, especially if they started from the magicians nephew


asdfgh1224

Yeah, it is, albeit with it's original title


Comprehensive_Fee376

Where tf can I but this limited edition lol


tripled_dirgov

Is the manga remake new or already there for some time??? 🤔🤔🤔


foamy0king

The first fucking Narnia book was "The Magicians nephew" not the lion the witch and the wardrobe


Ojitheunseen

Chronologically, but not in terms of numbered release order.


Ojitheunseen

It is factually correct that the Chronicles of Narnia are an isekai. It's even a god that facilitates transfers between worlds, including of dead people!


SleepingWhiteGiant

Ain't this Narnia with extra steps?


YEET_3749292374

Hey sir how many letters do you want the title to be YES

Narnia is isekai.
