I was recently made aware (by the Infinite Zenith site) of a light novel turned manga and then anime: Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. (The Department of Redundancy Department needs to have words with the author about that title.)
This is an isekai with a particularly silly twist. Virtual-reality role-player [surname never given] Yuna, a shut-in whose stock-market genius made her appallingly rich, has quit school at 15 and paid her slacker parents to take a vacation and leave her alone. Then she gets yanked into a magical world very similar to her favorite game.
The twist is that she's been stripped of all her previously earned magical items and experience levels, but given a wildly overpowered item of magical armor ... which looks like an outrageously cute teddy-bear-design onesie with bear puppets for mittens. (The Infinite Zenith commentary includes screencaps.) She's mortified at the thought of wearing this silly-appearing outfit, but the enhancements it grants (super-strength, super-speed, healing for herself and others, an apparently limitless bag of holding, various combat and utility spells, a pair of giant teddy bears as familiars, etc.) are just too valuable to pass up.
Yuna proceeds to build a terrifying reputation as "the Rumored Bear" who looks adorable but can single-handedly mop the floor with small armies and large monsters. She also wows the nobility with 21st-Century food recipes that blast their Medieval/Renaissance meals right out of the water.
Oh, and the "god" who isekai'd her also transferred much of her wealth into the magical world, converting it to local currency. In the manga, an obstructive bureaucrat demands that Yuna prove she has enough money to afford a place in the capital city's posh district. The next panels show the official crying, approximately, "Stop! You won! I accept that you've got enough! Stop pouring out all that money!" If that huge pile of coins is mostly gold, its weight might break the table....
