Read the full take

The Isekai Returnee is Too OP for the Modern World starts from a neat irony. Morishita Daiki was summoned to another world, struck down the Demon Lord, and came home. Now he lives quietly, keeping his strength hidden in a modern Japan that seems ordinary. The premise is simple and comic, and the gap between his real power and his tranquil routine gives the story an easy hook.The series is at its most enjoyable when apparitions and special powers begin to break into daily life. The school-battle setting gives the action a fresh angle, and the hero's reluctance to reveal himself adds humour. The tone is brisk and energetic.The weaknesses are ecchi moments that may not suit everyone and power-fantasy beats that feel familiar. Readers who enjoy returnee power fantasies will find a fun ride. Those wanting originality may find it predictable, though the premise is entertaining.
