Shinchosha Publishing Co., Ltd. announces the release of the first volume of the manga 'Wandering Another World with Just a Fishing Rod,' currently serialized on the web manga platform 'Kurage Bunch,' available today, Thursday, July 9, 2026.

This work, themed around 'fishing × another world,' is the latest manga by artist Natsuki Yamazaki, who previously created 'Tsurikomachi' (published by Square Enix) with fishing as a central theme.

While maintaining a relaxed tone typical of isekai stories, the series impressively recreates real-world fishing techniques adapted to the characteristics of fantasy fish, offering authentic angling depictions. The story also features a diverse cast of female characters, including beastmen and elves, and highlights delicious meals prepared from freshly caught fish.

The manga appeals not only to fishing enthusiasts and fans of isekai genre but also to readers unfamiliar with either category.

Book Description

Townsman Owari, once a celebrated professional angler in the media, now lives a hand-to-mouth existence. One day, while fishing from a boat, he is thrown overboard by a wave and loses consciousness. When Owari awakens, his surroundings have completely changed—he has arrived in another world.

In this world where fishing culture has faded, Owari begins wandering and engaging with locals, indulging in his passion for fishing. Equipped with his fishing knowledge and enhanced gear, this is a laid-back yet authentic outdoor fantasy.
