N2 - We present a comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic study of the Type IIP supernova (SN) 2018is. The V band luminosity and the expansion velocity at 50 days post-explosion are −15.1 ± 0.2 mag (corrected for AV = 1.34 mag) and 1400 km s−1, classifying it as a low-luminosity SN II. The recombination phase in the V band is shorter, lasting around 110 days, and exhibits a steeper decline (1.0 mag per 100 days) compared to most other low-luminosity SNe II. Additionally, the optical and near-infrared spectra display hydrogen emission lines that are strikingly narrow, even for this class. The Fe ii and Sc ii line velocities are at the lower end of the typical range for low-luminosity SNe II. Semi-analytical modelling of the bolometric light curve suggests an ejecta mass of ∼8 M, corresponding to a pre-supernova mass of ∼9.5 M, and an explosion energy of ∼0.40 × 1051 erg. Hydrodynamical modelling further indicates that the progenitor had a zero-age main sequence mass of 9 M, coupled with a low explosion energy of 0.19 × 1051 erg. The nebular spectrum reveals weak [O i] λλ6300,6364 lines, consistent with a moderate-mass progenitor, while features typical of Fe core-collapse events, such as He i, [C i], and Fe i, are indiscernible. However, the redder colours and low ratio of Ni to Fe abundance do not support an electron-capture scenario either. As a low-luminosity SN II with an atypically steep decline during the photospheric phase and remarkably narrow emission lines, SN 2018is contributes to the diversity observed within this population.
