Another older gentleman experiences the isekai phenomenon! He has a skill that lets him make instant purchases from Japan and sell items from a magical world for a profit. He would rather live a simple and slow life than try to build a financial empire. We’ll see how he does when The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World (Arafo Otoko no Isekai Tsūhan Seikatsu) premieres sometime in 2025.
Hifumi Asakura and Yamakawa released the original The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World light novel on May 10th, 2018. SB Creative has published three volumes in the Tugikuru Books imprint.
The gentlemanly online shopper is as follows:
- Kenichi Hamada — Junichi Suwabe (Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen). A middle-aged freelance artist who desires a simple life in the countryside.
A home page and a Twitter (X) page have been maintained to promote The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World. You can find more information about the series and the key visuals there. A regular guy enters a fantastic world with a keen shopper’s eye.

Kenichi Hamada is a 38-year-old single freelance artist who left Tokyo for a quieter life in the countryside. He continued working on freelance art projects for keyframes and video game visuals. But Kenichi enjoyed his new farming job even more. This idyllic life unexpectedly ended when Kenichi found himself in a forest he had never seen before.
Kenichi wondered if he had traveled to a parallel world and jokingly attempted to open a status window. It worked, but he felt dismayed at the lack of RPG mechanics. His isekai cheat skill allows him to access an online shopping network to buy items, such as food and tools. Kenichi can also sell items from this other world for a tidy profit. He’ll begin a new life in this new place and maybe get close to a cute inn employee.
