As part of their regular updates to the English lexicon, the Oxford English Dictionary has added a number of Japanese loan words, most notably the term for a notorious genre of anime and manga - isekai, or "portal fantasy".


Isekai isn't the only genre getting OED recognition, as tokusatsu - the genre encompassing Power Rangers - gets the OED primatur as well, alongside mangaka in acknowledgement of the term for manga creators. There's also a lot of food and food related terms in the list, like karaage, onigiri, and santoku. Crafting is also well represented with terms like kintsugi and washi tape.
