Personal Thoughts

While this isn’t my normal anime genre of choice, “In Another World with My Smartphone” feels like a fun, comedic breath of fresh air with a nice premise. I recommend watching the PV’s to make your own decision and to see what separates it from the other series in this genre. But overall, I walked away positive and willing to give it a chance. Let’s face it, I’ll watch anything with cute little tigers, haha.

Kohaku

Kohaku is summoned by Touya as his beast companion. He is king of the beasts and protector of the great path, as well as the eastern side. Kohaku usually keeps his appearnce as that of a child tiger so he doesn’t stand out and let others know he is one of the heavenly beasts.
