Good job on setting up this other world. I can perfectly imagine everything and its very essence of this world. I'm impressed the MC doesn't go into the this other world simply by dying (I'm looking at you, typical isekai truck-kun), and the fact he has a chance to go home rather than fight some demon king is a nice fresh of air. It certainly has an Inuyasha vibe to it.
And as for the characters, I'm having a hard time connecting to Kotaro. You describe him as this nerd (having all these posters and action figure, I think?), he speaks sorta nervously in a couple parts, yet he feels a lot more extroverted when talking to Riku.
Riku also seems like an interesting character, or hell, an even better written character as she seems to clearly have connections to Kotaro. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. This chapter is looking promising.
