Wise Man's Grandchild

2019 · 1 season

A breezy, good-natured fantasy school romp where overpowered silliness and light comedy keep things easy and undemanding.

Overview: A young man is reborn in another world where he is adopted as a baby by the hero Merlin Wolford and named Shin. By his 15th birthday, Shin has accumulated all kinds of power by studying under Merlin, but one thing his adoptive grandfather didn't give him was a lick of common sense.
How it feels: Light, whimsical, earnest and uplifting. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Coming-of-age, found family, power, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
