What to expect from Loner Life in Another World season 1 (speculative)
Heading into the anime’s fourth episode, Loner Life in Another World seems to be betraying its title slightly. Protagonist Haruka was initially on his own, but has since slowly gotten wrapped up in the drama the rest of his class has gone through since being summoned to another world. Likewise, he’s currently traveling with a group of girls to another town, albeit against his will.
With this in mind, the first season seems set to see Haruka pursue his loner life, but never permanently or fully attain it as he continues reuniting with his classmates. This may even eventually be replaced by his meeting people native to this new world, turning Haruka into a hero of sorts. If this is the case, it’s likely fans will see this set up by the end of season 1.
