Romantasy seems similar to Isekai. It is an manga/anime where an individual (often someone ordinary) is transported to another world. As an example, there's one named
Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha!. In it an ordinary student is accidentally transported into the world of Dragonball as Yamcha. Knowing the story of
Dragonball/Dragonball Z and thus what is coming, he trains to become the strongest fighter in the series.
Another one (although it is a U. S. comic book series) is
Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld. It's about a young girl who discovers she is actually Princess Amethyst from Gemworld and is transported back to that world to fight the villain who killed her parents, Dark Opal. Due to the time difference between Earth and the Gemworld, Amethyst goes from being an early teen to a young adult.
