Keeping up with some weekly stuff, but heres my favorite of this week: Watashi no Musuko ga Isekai Tensei Shitappoi. Yes, it had Isekai in is title, but don't let that fool you. Its mainly about a mourning mom, whose child died in an accident, and her coping mechanism is that he actually got isekai-d, and trying to find a way to bring him back. Its pretty heavy, and more about the mind working through grief, but its just makes you feel, you know?

I hadn't heard of this one before, but the premise is super interesting. As somebody that reads way too much isekai (see my wall of text in this thread), most of them waste a huge potential of the genre that this one focuses on. Namely, the whole premise of (most) isekai is that there is one or more people that vanish from their world. However, we usually never see anything about the people and places that were left behind. This is one of the reasons why I am of the firm belief that most isekai are just fantasy stories that have the unneeded addition of the reincarnation/summoning/whatever isekai element added to them.
