This is controversial due to the protagonist's flaws, but it is undeniably the best-produced Isekai. The world-building, animation, and character growth are second to none. Warning: The protagonist has morally reprehensible traits (especially early on), but the story is about his redemption.

Denji is a poor boy who merges with his devil-dog, Pochita, to become the "Chainsaw Man." He joins a government agency to hunt devils so he can touch boobs and eat toast with jam.
