Fun little fact: isekai comes from two words. Ise (伊勢市), meaning border, world and kai (開), meaning open. In other words, open borders. It was about the fantasy of escaping to another country, one with open borders that welcomes Japanese citizens. Japan's xenophobia makes this irony delicious. Over time, isekai has changed to mean escapist fantasy, ones involving a protagonist being whisked away to a fantasy world or, in many cases, parallel to this one.

There, she enters a house; from the house to a mirror. There she falls into an existential crisis as a wizened dragon, appearing from the mirror, enquires into the nature of her existence on a journey to his kingdom of Okkai. She soon wages war on the trickster fox, creatively named Kitsune, who has been fighting the dragon for over 500 years. It was not a mainstream success, but highly influential in manga circles and soon male mangakas followed this formula, adding their own flourishes and introducing sexual elements, of course.
