Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o!

While the LN is going in another direction, its likely that some of the general plot threads will carry over like.

Level Reset, Manadite, how Kazuma defeats the Demon King.

Theres still lots of plot threads left hanging in the WN, like Wiz's past, Vanir, Iris, etc.

I'd rather they didn't bring in manatite since it would mean Kazuma's Drain Touch becomes obsolete.

[quigonkenny]

Drain Touch certainly gets the job done, but is also inefficient (costs Kazuma mana), and requires a willing (or at least unsuspecting or easily overpowered) "donor". Manatite is expensive, but reliable, cheap from a mana use perspective, and usable in all situations.

Kazuma can still use Drain Touch, especially as an offensive tactic or for party discipline, and would probably only use manatite when the job requires it (he's not the spendthrift a certain other person in his party is, after all).

[Shadow5YA]

That's precisely why Manatite shouldn't be introduced into the LN's story. With how rich Kazuma is, it's too convenient of an item that removes Megumin's flaws.

The charm in Kazuma's party is that despite how horribly unbalanced its members are, they find ways to make it work. Manatite trivializes a big part of that.

It's like why the dynamite was tossed out before Kazuma ever got a chance to use it. It would certainly be useful, but then Megumin's contribution would be less valuable.

[Village Idiot]

They had already introduced manatite. Vol 3 and Vol 6.

I would love to include the Income Tax part of the WN though, that was a riot.

[Tenzen12]

Aqua is Goddess
Megumin has strongest spell
Darkness has impenetrable defense
Kazuma is loaded

I don't see problem here

[Fiir-chan]

jesus.. all these (spoiler)landmines waiting to be set off by some overly curious anon.

I see. LN will go on for a little bit more huh.

Also, love that final party line up. I would've loved wiz to be there instead of one of mitsurugi's girls.. but she's neutral so we cant do anything about it.

So i just bought v3 ebook and going to start reading. Is there any difference or missing development from fiest 2 volumes that is absolutely very critical/important that i should be made aware of?

[Okashira]

So i just bought v3 ebook and going to start reading. Is there any difference or missing development from fiest 2 volumes that is absolutely very critical/important that i should be made aware of?

Ah, from memory nothing comes to mind; this series has little "critical plot points" and issues more or less go with the flow; most of the foreshadowing in the earlier volumes point towards the middle of the series as well, is not something like "foreshadow the volume right next to this one". Oh, and by structure, volume 3 has a re-cap of the previous 2; so that helps.

Ah, and of course; if you are coming from the anime, as usual most characters were decontructed as to look cuter, Aqua and to an extent Darkness are not even half as bad as they should be; for example :heh: :heh: :heh:



...... The big fight of volume 3 is awesome, I'm sure you'll finish it quite quickly.

[watisit]

Huh? What about Wolbech?

Who's that?

Edit: Oh, that 2nd of the 3 I said for the WN.

Her appearances in the LN so far has not revealed her name, that she is the DK's daughter nor that she is an executive.

[nfsac]

I noticed while comparing both WN to the recent volumes we got of the Light Novels that the author seems to focus much more on Darkness interest on Kazuma in contrast of Megumin's on the WN. I cant be sure but in the WN, Megumin kinda ''won'' or it became a harem like finale?

In the LN I notice it is moving more like a Darkness marriage flag ending?

Aqua has no focus at all, even Wiz seem more fond of Kazuma then her.

the WN was open ended so no one really "won"

the ln, megumin and darkness seem more evely matched given that v7 for darkness didn't exist in the wn. and given the spoilers provided, it doesn't seem like an mcbowl

If you're coming from just watching the anime, then yes. There were two quests cut from the anime (not counting the quest that introduced Wiz, which we got the CliffsNotes version of), and one skill mention that was tangentially related to one of those quests. The skill and one of the quests are necessary info.

The first quest is adapted in chapter 13 of the manga. It's found easily enough, but I'll summarize it here. Dust (in his first appearance, right after the General Winter incident) is giving Kazuma shit about dragging his party of high-tier members down, forcing them to take low-end quests like carrying luggage to make up for his weak class. He says Kazuma has it easily, constantly being supported by three beautiful women, and that he's trying to set up a harem. Dust suggests that they swap places for the day, which Kazuma gladly agrees to, talking shit about how idiotic the idea of those three being a harem is, in the process. Kazuma hooks up with Dust's party, which consists of archer Keith (Dust's compatriot in the later succubus shop visit), cute wizard Rin, and crusader/leader Taylor (the latter two got a cameo in the last episode). Their quest for the day is a goblin hunt. Kazuma initially just carries their things, but after some things don't go as planned and Kazuma is instrumental as the party encounters (and avoids thanks to Kazuma's Detect Enemy and Hide skills) a high-level feline monster called a Rookie Killer, wipes out a large group of goblins without incident (thanks to creative use of Kazuma's beginner magic like fouling arrow shots with Wind Breath and trapping all the goblins with Create Water and Freeze), and eventually chases off the Rookie Killer when it returns (thanks to a combination of Create Earth and Wind Breath), they have a huge amount of respect for his ability and start to understand why he is leader of a group of top-tier adventurers even though he himself is the weakest class. Meanwhile, things go as expected for Dust as he has to put up with the Three Stooges, and he ends up begging to switch back.

At some point after this, Kazuma learns an archer skill "Snipe" from Keith, which allows him to have better chance to hit a target with an arrow shot. It's luck based, so in Kazuma's case, it basically guarantees success in even the most unlikely of circus shots. This becomes instrumental later on in the story, but I don't remember if it's relevant for any of the events of Volume 3.
The second quest is adapted in chapter 14 of the manga. I'll summarize it here. Shortly after the previous quest, Kazuma lamented the fact that he was levelling up more slowly than the other party members. Megumin kills everything with Explosion, Aqua does the same to undead with Turn Undead, and even Darkness got xp credit for a number of kills from various methods that escape me ATM. So he decided that he would solo a minor dungeon outside of town. It was a low-level dungeon that was often visited, so he shouldn't be in much danger, and his Hide and Detect Enemies skills would let him avoid danger should things get too hairy. The party (minus Aqua) went with him to camp outside the dungeon, and he went in and shortly after met Aqua, who had gone in before him. Turns out that most of the monsters in the dungeon are undead, who can detect his life force whether he Hides or not, so he would have been screwed had he gone alone. Kazuma and Aqua work their way through the dungeon, fighting off a great number of minor undead, until they come to encounter a far more stereotypically undead lich named Keele. Turns out Keele was a famous mage from a story that had been mentioned previously, who stole the princess of the kingdom (consensually) and ran away with her, fighting the kingdom's army as he went, until eventually he ended up building this dungeon, which became his lair. They both eventually died peacefully. Her first, with him becoming a lich when he died so he could continue to protect her. It was very sweet. He asks Aqua to send him along on his way, and she does so, telling him to ask Eris at her request to reincarnate him in such a manner that he can be together with his love again.

On the way out, it is revealed that they were being swarmed by undead due to the undead being attracted to Aqua's goddess nature (as in the fight with Beldia), so Kazuma Hides and leaves.

This is the quest that will be important for Volume 3. As for "why", that will be explained when you get to that point.

[Village Idiot]

To those wondering, ya, the WN had a rushed ending because before the last WN arc, the author mentioned that Kadokawa had picked it up for serialization and that she would have to take down the WN, but before that happens, she will finish the ending so WN readers will be satisfied.

WN had an open ended ending but heavily favors Megumin. However, Darkness would have likely be given more development had the ending wasn't rushed.

[KnightShade]

^hence why v7 exists

[Fiir-chan]

ah I see. aqua went ahead to the dungeon first. I thought until now that she followed kazuma after escorting him.

so thats why the WN was like that.. it got rushed.

and huh? the author was female? thats new news to me

[Shadow5YA]

Who's that?

Edit: Oh, that 2nd of the 3 I said for the WN.

Her appearances in the LN so far has not revealed her name, that she is the DK's daughter nor that she is an executive.

Huh? I'm pretty sure her name was revealed in the KonoBaku spinoff.

[Village Idiot]

She revealed her name in Vol 4 of the LN while in the hot spring.

[Fiir-chan]

alright guys. fanfic site is down again

[KnightShade]

alright guys. fanfic site is down again

give it a little while, it'll be back

[quigonkenny]

Huh? I'm pretty sure her name was revealed in the KonoBaku spinoff.
Her name was revealed in the Axis hot springs town, but her ties to the monster imprisoned in the Home of the Crimson Mazoku weren't revealed until the KonoBaku novels. (I say "until", but I'm not clear on when they were released, so the first KonoBaku volume may have come out first.) And even then, at least so far in the first KB novel, it's not explicitly stated, but only heavily hinted (albeit sledgehammer-level). Pretty sure her actual relation to the Demon King (other than that she is working for him) has yet to be mentioned in the translated portions of the two series.

A question just popped into my head. Exactly how many named characters has Megumin hit with Explosion and killed? Beldia was hit but survived. Destroyer probably counts, even though it's not a person. Vanir was hit and killed, but it didn't stick. Darkness was hit and survived. I want to say the polluting Demon General (name escapes me) might have been hit with it, but that it was Aqua who eventually dispelled him. And Sylvia was taken out with a magitek superweapon (Komekko's killsteal), albeit one charged by Megumin's Explosion. That's one; two if you count Destroyer; and another half for Sylvia. Not as many as I thought. Did I miss any?

[Fiir-chan]

Wow. Its not that many as we thought.. What? So Hans was purified by aqua? I mostly skim through the cheesy parts and the most dumb parts.. So her explosiom didnt finish hans huh.

[Okashira]

Did I miss any?

There it was this demon general who was at the capital who always gave cool speeches before runing away; Megumin blew him up before him giving his name :heh: Since it was narrated from a 3rd point of view, he might have survived without we knowing.

[Nvis]

There are three more unaccounted executives so I doubt it'll end soon barring some kind of accident.

In the WN the 8 executives:
Hans doesn't make an appearance. There's an angel-like one, the daughter of the demon king, a dark priestess and one who died.

Are they hot?:naughty:

[Fiir-chan]

Re-read the spoilers from 3 pages ago.

So contents thatare not yet out would be vanirs, wiz, wolbach and the remaining stuff from the wn huh.. But since we got vanir ss already.. Then..

I would really like to see mitsurugi's stereotypical adventures before he met kazuma.

[quigonkenny]

Wow. Its not that many as we thought.. What? So Hans was purified by aqua? I mostly skim through the cheesy parts and the most dumb parts.. So her explosiom didnt finish hans huh.
I misremembered. I looked it up and Megumin did blow Hans apart, but they needed Wiz to freeze the pieces afterwards, since he was inherently poisonous. You could probably count that as a defeat by Megumin, although it is mentioned in the epilogue that Aqua's efforts cleansed all the pieces of his body. If Explosion or Wiz's Cursed Crystal Prison didn't kill him, that did.

[Okashira]

10~12 volumes at it's earliest, but the author isn't rushing things up at all.




Oh, and a Wiz x Vanir spin off is about to start


http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91ftw4JJ05L.jpg


Wiz is definitely the cutest, yes. And I wish my local magic item shop would serve tea when waiting in line.

[LOLw]

why so little? i mean i expected at least 15 or a sequel :D

[LOLw]

is it confirmed by the author that it will end at 10-12 volumes?

[quigonkenny]

Oh, and a Wiz x Vanir spin off is about to start


http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91ftw4JJ05L.jpg

Nice. First best heroine gets her own spin off, and now best side character and the wealth-killing lich get their own spin off. So...going by the other abbreviations, Konokame, then? (short for Kono Kamen no Akuma ni Souden o)

As for today's releases... Megumin becoming a woman full-fledged Arch-Wizard was as epic, yet anticlimactic, as expected. I'm surprised that Megumin realizes something of Chomsuke's nature. Perfectly in character for her to still carry it around as a familiar, though. I lol'ed when Aqua sucker-exorcised Vanir just when he was about to spill the truth to Kazuma. And damn, I thought Megumin had it bad for Kazuma, but she's not as far gone as Darkness is... Very nice usage of POV this chapter, including a tease at Aqua's POV (though it was actually Kazuma). Loved Darkness' reaction to him "buying" her. And damegami being not so dame for once. Still has no sense for mood, though...

[nfsac]

Not really, but 12 volumes is kinda the standard for many series, so many think it will end on 12th.

With this second spin off, it shows the series is selling well, so more plot to be added for the LN.

[The Green One]

The series does seem to have become a decent cash cow, they'd try to avoid taking it to the slaughterhouse just yet I'd think.

[quigonkenny]

Twelve seems a little light. I imagine they'll be adding enough to the WN plot to get to 15.

[nfsac]

It is an infinite possibilities world. You can add plot as you want as time is not an issue, aside for Aqua wanting to return home :)

[quigonkenny]

I'd say 12 is probably a good minimum, though. Given what plot apparently remains from the WN, they'd need at least that much.

[Shadow5YA]

It is an infinite possibilities world. You can add plot as you want as time is not an issue, aside for Aqua wanting to return home :)

pretty sure she has forgotten about that most of the time :heh:

[nfsac]

Kinda, she even forgets she is a Goddess, time to time.

Also I am not sure the author will adapt all the WN into it, he may even take original plots he could not use in the WN.

Does Eris go to Axel on her Goddess form during volume 8?

[Fiir-chan]

Well, the eris festival might happen in axel, since I remeber it was the central area for th eeris sect? Or is that wrong? And since spoilers say the kazuma was head of festival, made it a success and requested chris to appear as eris in the paegent to lure aegis, I'd say yes, she appears.



I'd say eleven or twelve. Damn, I didnt think you could cast explosion in the air unless there was a target, but since it was out of control, it cant be helped.. But the thing that shouldve gone better was kazuma not being trash at the end for hiding behind the person they were rescuing.

[nfsac]

He ended up without any cash, same old same :eyespin::heh::heh:

[Dual Blades]

It's always going to return to status quo for Kuzuma lol.

[The Green One]

It's just not Kazuma if things don't go hilariously wrong for him despite his best efforts.

[charasu]

ok, eris sama spin-off when@@

[LOLw]

i wanted to know are 7 and 8 vol of the lightnovel spin-offs or they follow the story,because i have been told that they are spin-offs

[watisit]

Are they hot?:naughty:

Two of them had no description in the WN.

The dark priestess is probably Sena from vol 3, the prosecutor lady. They even share the same name. I'm not saying anything about her being undercover in the LN though, it may be the author just decided to change her role.

WN Sena: Dark priestess, DK executive
LN Sena: Prosecutor

Wow. Its not that many as we thought.. What? So Hans was purified by aqua? I mostly skim through the cheesy parts and the most dumb parts.. So her explosiom didnt finish hans huh.

Megumin's explosion blew hans into pieces, Wiz froze the pieces and Aqua purified the frozen pieces. Hans is a slime, even if you blow him apart he can just join himself back together.

Actually she's called Serena in the WN.

[Stark700]

Lol, Darkness' thoughts during her wedding is really amusing in regards of the outfit:
She even said ‘He will probably ravage me for days and nights without anything to eat or drink, how exhilarating.’

The wedding crash is brilliant. I loved the part where Aqua insulted the Landlord with the vow speech.

[Fiir-chan]

lol. aqua cant read the mood and was gawking at darkness' father when kazuma, darkness and the father were talking seriously.

so funny

[moridin84]

I've just been thinking, Konosuba is actually a love triangle disguised as a harem isn't it?

[quigonkenny]

I've just been thinking, Konosuba is actually a love triangle disguised as a harem isn't it?
Well, technically speaking, all one requires for a harem is two haremettes, so all love triangles are harems from the view of the one receiving the affection. In practice, even in harem anime/manga where there are more than two haremettes, it's usually only one or two who have a legitimate chance with the MC.

Agreed.


We have Darkness and Megumin going for Kazuma as well, the world rule that Kazuma will have to marry Iris if he beats the Demon King. Kazuma considers Eris his perfect girl though :D

[quigonkenny]

And in reality, the former two are really the only ones who have much of a chance. Iris is a princess, and one who Kazuma frankly isn't interested on in that way. She's the obligatory haremettes that likes him, but will end up getting friendzoned. Eris is a goddess, and hasn't shown much more than curiosity at Kazuma. She'll probably end up friendzoning him after he mistakenly gets the impression that she's interested in him romantically. Darkness and Megumin have both clearly and hopelessly fallen for him, and he's certainly shown an attraction to each of them, though they both have issues that hold him back. Aqua is right out.

I'd give Megumin the edge, because I get the impression that the biggest thing holding Kazuma back from going after her (other than the fact that Darkness and/or Aqua would kill him) is her age. That issue will take care of itself, eventually. Darkness has deeper, less easily handled problems, even though he's more physically attracted to her.

idk, kazuma isn't exactly a fan of mugumins explosion magic obsession. it's seems so even to me that i'm perfectly fine if either both win or it ends like the wn (open).

A love triangle isn't a harem. I think that you'd at least 3 love interests to be considered a harem. Personally, I'd say at least 4.

The problem is that two, and only two, members of the "harem" have gotten serious romantic development. And that romantic development is pretty serious as well, all things considered. They are both at the stage of "mutual acknowledged romantic interest".

I find Megumin more of a comic relief, but seems others like her more than that.

As we can notice, Darkness got way too much focus ever since volume 3, Aqua is just a side character at most now :upset:

[Tenzen12]

That's go for you and me, but I don't really see why Kazuma hesitate here. He is genuine S and enjoy his various plays with Darkness a lot, they both do. His unwillingness is partially caused by his fear of breaking status quo and partially because he is in denial about his own fetish.

Anyway, his feelings toward her are not just physical attraction, at least I don't think that would be enough to actually be willing completely give up on one lifestyle and go full elopement route.

He's indicated his distaste of her excessive M personality many times. I don't think he's just been "tsun".

[nfsac]

Many of Lewdness remarks would make anyone feel a chill.
I find Kazuma much more on the tsun part and a person like many of us that would love to get a maid Darkness, who can blush and act shy, then say something related to her masochism and burn the trope.
His life aspect as a shut-in made him a coward, as Darkness said many times already.

People all call Darkness a Masochist, but aint her also a Sadist? Many of her actions, like trying to break Kazuma arm/hand or whatever other bones she can iron claw?

For Darkness to be a sadist means that she enjoys the act of inflicting pain. I don't think that she has some sadist tendencies. Going by Vol. 7, why she would try to break Kazuma's arm would be in self defense.

[Fiir-chan]

you know. that versatile entertainer skill is really good for foreplay.

I did not expect the fanarts to blow out of proportion for megumin.

I don't think you guys realize this but, a commoner marrying a noble is kind of up there. I don't think there a re even records of commoner to noble marriages back in the day, and if there were, it didn't go well for the commoner. like really, it wouldn't. and we haven't touched darkness' con package yet.

on megumin's case aside.. well, she's also quite the problematic person. do remember that when going on their Eksuprosion! excursions they are always lucky to not be assaulted by monsters when megumin is down.. but yeah, thats good I guess. you wouldn't want the appearance of the rookie killer or one-hit bear to kill you of hilariousness. seriously. and we're not even on the part of what stupid things will happen when kazuma gets together with her yet..

remember this alternate world australia is quite the crapsaccharine world. despite the characters' casual way of describing the world, it still is quite disturbing. I don't think kazuma really put much thought about who he should choose back in the WN ending, but I'm guessing his luck stat got him out of the pinch he was surely in for if he did.

[KnightShade]

he didn't put thought into it because he made no choice, it was an open end

[Village Idiot]

Kazuma/Megumin's in no real danger using Explosion outside of Axel since all the monsters nearby have already been hunted to extinction.

When they went for their daily Explosion in Alcanretia, Wiz accompanied them and she subdued the Rookie Killer.

[nfsac]

During volume 6, when she found him freeloading on Iris' castle and who can forget on volume 7 her rage mode after Kazuma calling on her def. abs :heh:
Also during the many encounters with nobles when she tried to crush his hand when he was doing the usual goof and embarassing talk.

Sometimes I can almost say Darkness and Lalatina are separated personalities due to the setting with or without nobles stuff around.

Also the one that defeats the Demon King can or has to marry into the royal family? It is not made very clear if you got a choice or must run for your life.

In the WN, after beating the Demon King why Aqua returned to the game world? Wasn't her goal to return to Heaven and to her job in there?

[runset]

In the WN, after beating the Demon King why Aqua returned to the game world? Wasn't her goal to return to Heaven and to her job in there?

Stated by eris that because her senpai(aqua) is like that, aqua doesn't even realize that she already fallen in love with kazuma. Kazuma also said that recently aqua always stared at him all the times completely oblivious to her feeling and when he is getting carried away a little (according to him)and said that maybe he will created a harem next, aqua gets really mad and kick him out of the house and said tohim to cool down his head first. So long story short, she want to be always with kazuma in the end

[Fiir-chan]

he didn't put thought into it because he made no choice, it was an open end

point is, he could've chosen one. and point is it wouldn't go well. and would hilariously be so.

Kazuma/Megumin's in no real danger using Explosion outside of Axel since all the monsters nearby have already been hunted to extinction.

When they went for their daily Explosion in Alcanretia, Wiz accompanied them and she subdued the Rookie Killer.

true, beldia was around during that time and wiz was also around during this time but despite the apparent danger that was glossed over. it is still quite dangerous to be so far out of the safety of the city(?) walls to cast a flashy spell that attracts monsters that can only be used once and only has a squishy idiotic fake goddess or a low level squishy adventurer as guardian.

[Tenzen12]

He's indicated his distaste of her excessive M personality many times. I don't think he's just been "tsun".

Yes he does, he also show great enjoyment in harrassing her, call her slutty, putting her into maid costume to order her around and be disappointed when he can't "scold" her for not doing perfect job...

No matter how you look on it Kazuma likes SM plays, though he tries pretend he has no such fetish and he is relatively normal. He also use it as excuse cover own insecurity as he is afraid going for Darkness would destroy current relationship with her and others. If Vanir said so (twice) it has to be true.

[Fiir-chan]

I like the bit where aqua stares at kazuma all day long.. this is quite sweet. you know. although I'm not sure if this is legit info or not. she's completely fallen for him if so.. despite her being aqua and all.

[Tenzen12]

I really hope this part will not make it into LN. It feels completely out of character and these two are just fine way they are.

[nfsac]

How old is Aqua and Eris?

Well you see, Kazuma is a jerk. He says rude things to everybody. And yes, he does like making her embarrassed and he definitely does like putting her in sexy clothes. However, that's hardly to the level of Darkness's M fantasies.

[Village Idiot]

I really hope this part will not make it into LN. It feels completely out of character and these two are just fine way they are.

Ya, would have been better if Aqua chose to stay because its a lot more fun on this world than her old job in heaven.

[Tenzen12]

@/Mordin You are seriously downplaying Kazuma "jerkness". His maid-master plays is pure SM and they both enjoy it. Sure, Darkness M side is my resume extreme than Kazumq S side, but gap is not that big to truly matter. Deal breaker here is Kazuma fear of changing their current relationship. As I noted before, Vanir said so and he is most trustworthy guy around , which gives his word has far more weight that random fan (yours) theory.

She and Wiz all I care about for this series.

Just remember one of them is Vanir.

[Shadow5YA]

When is the OVA coming out?

[nfsac]

Just remember one of them is Vanir.

One of the succubus ladies is Vanir? :confused::uhoh::twitch:

[LOLw]

when you say at its earliest you mean that the series will end at 10-12 volumes or you mean the most quick finish of the story it will be 10-12

[quigonkenny]

How old is Aqua and Eris?
They're goddesses. How old is water?

when you say at its earliest you mean that the series will end at 10-12 volumes or you mean the most quick finish of the story it will be 10-12
I say bare minimum 12. By 15 we should at least be in the last arc, if not finishing it.

[nfsac]

Water is older then our planet for sure.
In volume 8 Kazuma asks Aqua about, I am not sure if she says she has the same age as him or dodges the question.

[LOLw]

i hope it will end at 12 so we can get an entire new sequel what are your thoughts gentlemen??? or madams

[Shadow5YA]

One of the succubus ladies is Vanir? :confused::uhoh::twitch:

Not necessarily, but... remember his speech in the popularity polls?

As a special service for my coming in 10th, I will change into a half-naked beautiful girl and….Whoops! It looks like that’s all the time I get for my spot! Too bad!

:heh:

[Village Idiot]

Remember Vanir would sometimes change into a hot girl, seduce a male Adventurer only to reveal who he is at the last moment just to troll them.

[Waxman]

Speaking of Vanir, when Kazuma put on the mask Vanir gave him to brak into the palace with Chris his personality changed and his performance rose much in the same way Darkness did when she was possessed.
.
I wonder if that was because it was a magic mask or it was just Kazuma venting his frustation.

[Village Idiot]

Vanir mentioned that wearing that mask at night when the moon is up will increase the wearer's mana and metabolism.

[Fiir-chan]

“This is one of the top seller in our shop, mass produced Vanir mask that is really popular in the society. If you wear it in a moonlit night, your mana will increase, metabolism enhance and your skin will have a silky luster because of the mysterious power of the devil. This is a rare black mask amount these products, so you can flaunt it to the kids.”

Well, yeah. it was quite the paper thin disguise he had back there. no wonder iris found out.

I wonder if that was because it was a magic mask or it was just Kazuma venting his frustation.

No thats because that is kazuma's potential. he is quite creative with his spells.

[Waxman]

Yes its likely that Kazuma's performance rose but what i wonder its if his change on personality, he became more... well not heroic but maybe more asertive.
.
I was wondering if that change of personality that surprised Chris was due to the mask or Kazuma was only venting beign understimated.

[Fiir-chan]

I think there wasn't really any change to his personality. he did not become assertive during that part and most certainly not heroic, not the least bit.

I think we could say he was the most calmest during the castle siege than any fight he was in, only batshit panicking when they reached darkness. the effects of the mask was only increased mana pool but not by much, enhanced metabolism and a silky luster of skin.

Also, the most important thing to note in the series so far is despite his 'hands off trouble' policy is that this is the only troublesome thing kazuma did out of his own free will. without any troublesome influence or build up from any previous volume or arc, he just pressed the fuck it button and jumped in there.

Nah he just, had to protect his little sister.

[watisit]

I think the mask just unleashed his inner desires more. Not totally insane, just makes him give less of a damn. Combine that with a stat boost and you get that flashy Kazuma.

[nfsac]

I have seen two doujinshi so far for the series. Let the porn come in lol

[Fiir-chan]

I've seen guys post one of each girls' version on 4chan, although I'm not sure if it really is one of each. its untranslated yet.

the only one I've seen is mega**ico

[nfsac]

Some artist did a drawing of Aqua, Darkness, Kazuma and Megumin visiting the Succubus' shop and being served by all the girls, but I am not sure about posting it here. I read the forum FAQ and it could or could not be considered a violation of the rules. Very close to what any To-love-ru manga chapters show but one or other detail could get into a bad route. Anyway I could check this?

Remember that this is the 100% accuracy predicting magic shop demon Vanir here. The mana and metabolism raises could be due to the fact that he knew Kazuma would be spamming Drain Touch after he put it on (which would have those effects), and the "silky skin" sounds like the kind of BS salesman speak that Aqua would fall for. The mask may have done nothing other than hide his identity (not that it was entirely successful at that).

[Village Idiot]

Ya, Vanir gave Kazuma the mask because he knew what was going to happen.

[Village Idiot]

Ah Vanir, master troll.

[Fiir-chan]

that is one convenient hat.

now unto the megumin SS

Devils are too dangerous. Kazuma should really destroy Vanir

[crimsonflair]

The trap cards have been activated.

I like it when Kazuma can show his capability as an adventurer. He is a strong party shot caller and excels when his skills can affect the situation.

[babbo3d]

This supports my theory that if you fight for a loli you can summon more strength than a mother for her child.

[Fiir-chan]

SS is completed along with vol 7. so, reading that to quell the thirst for more.

as much as how vanir hates aqua their indebtedness are now mutual

[Tenzen12]

For moment I though it was Dio.. But it was him, Vanir.:heh:

[Stark700]

Vanir is a such a funny character lol, the guy has really grown to me as a character in this series. Ah volume 7 was quite amusingly fun.

[Mikobun]

I hated the way he talked at first, but now he's saving everyone and become likeable to me.

Just like Aqua, I hate her at first because damegami, but turns out she's really useful and likable.

Her skills are top-notch. Problem is she's dumb. And very unlucky.

[The Green One]

Just her incompetent brain renders her otherwise exceptional abilities null and void 95% of the time.

[Tenzen12]

Her skills are top-notch. Problem is she's dumb. And very unlucky.

If you consider that even situation Darkness got into this last arc was her fault. Even this she didn't do that much than just cleaned own mess.

Vanir is MVP, I really wonder what would happen if Kazuma got Devil instead Godess when he got "reincarnated" here.

[quigonkenny]

He'd be the Demon King.

[nfsac]

Vanir did not help Kazuma at all, he just used the situation Darkness got herself into to obtain the rights for many products ideas Kazuma had.
The landlord made a fatal mistake by declaring he would pay the price of summoning a devil, despiste the relique he had gave him a free pass into using that devil magic up until now.

It's not the relic, it's that the devil keeps forgetting things so he could bluff his way through. The relic was just to summon him.

Kazuma could help Darkness only because money he received from Vanir, that's the fact. Whether said devil profited from whole deal is completely unrelated. So yes, Vanir did provided help to Kazuma.

And without Vanir coming for Maxwell, landlord would be likely able bluff his way from whole thing again and come with some other plan.

[The Green One]

Vanir helped himself and Kazuma at the same time. No reason why he can't profit while helping Kazuma to the best of his ability. Extra bonus!

I like how the author hid that little gem (and sure future plot point) in the fact that Kazuma was talking to Chris at the time... I imagine those who read it without having previously been spoiled about the specifics of Eris' "extracurriculars" completely missed the implications of what she said, and were too caught up in what Kazuma said, and the reveal that entailed... I am constantly finding myself impressed with Akatsuki-sensei, and not just for her impeccable sense for humor.

[watisit]

Oh right now that I think about it:
The buying of all those manaite crystals, revealed in the start of vol 8 is a sign of the end times. In the WN Kazuma buys the crystals and passes them to Megumin who blasts the DK castle with consecutive explosions.

Theres still more arcs to go through, especially Wiz/Vanir since their stories weren't finished in the WN due to it having a rushed ending.

[quigonkenny]

That was finally realized in the epilogue.. although not the half-naked part..
Actually...
The one who was looking down at me was without a doubt Lalatina.

And she was wearing a seductive negligee, with a warm smile she normally wouldn’t show. She descended down the cellar’s stairs slowly.

No she isnt, Eris just got goofed..

Eris did say that she doesn't want to be Kazuma's enemy and somewhere in one of the volumes, one of the girls said that kazuma will unscrupulously grab the enemy's weak point and use it against him.. too bad Eris was on the receiving end of Kazuma's onslaught this time.. she's got nowhere to run now..

considering that the other gods rolled with kazuma's choice of cheat, theres no helping it.. I dont understand the part about aqua's duty in sending people to a new world.. but just to clarify, you didnt mean that specifically only to that world right? the world they get sent to might be random after all.
“…? I won’t know even if you ask me. I know the common knowledge of this world, but not the situation in town. This is just one of the many existing planets, and just a small town at that! How would I know?”

very.. also, the last time I laughed out loud was during the Axis Cult Application Form scene.. there isnt any joke that can top that for me yet.

Don't know where you got that idea. Whether or not Aqua acknowledges the existence of different worlds, this is the only one that has been mentioned as an alternate to Heaven or to reincarnation on one's original world, and that is due to the strife caused by the Demon King on this world. The very reason why that option is offered (hardly anyone from this world chooses reincarnation over Heaven) shows that reincarnation is generally limited to one's own world, and the fact that Kazuma had to agree to even come to this world shows that reincarnated souls can't just be sent to a random one.

Otherwise the Powers that Be would just be fudging the "randomness" to send more souls to this world to replace the ones who don't want to reincarnate, and would be picking and choosing who they give the "cheat mode item" option to, to limit it to those who best have a chance to actually beat the Demon King, probably with a bit of blackmail ("Well, we're reincarnating you on that world anyway..."), rather than just offering it to everyone (as Aqua's rehearsed sales pitch suggests).

[watisit]

Theres still more arcs to go through, especially Wiz/Vanir since their stories weren't finished in the WN due to it having a rushed ending.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the backstory of Wiz and Vanir is covered in the latest spinoff, the one with Vanir as the MC.

But there are 3 executives left so that should be at least 4 vols with the DK I hope.

[Fiir-chan]

snip

Ah, is it? Whether its true or not, the way aqua said that, I dont think its a joke, and gives me an idea that other lifeforms could exist. But since it cant be proven, i really have no say.. Thanks for clarifying. I got confused with crimsonflair's statement.

[Hakuri1]

can someone spoil what happened in Vanir spin-off?

[watisit]

Just a few short stories. There's no point in giving a summary since the main thing is in all the negativity Vanir creates.

I think we are focusing too much on the WN ending, if the author wants she can make this series go up to 20 volumes.

[Romanticide]

Does he ever stop sexually harassing/assaulting people ? I had to drop the anime once i found out, but i'm curious if he stopped.

[Sacredus]

Wait... what? Don't bring that sh**ty "Kazuma is bad because he's treating Aqua like tool/sexually harassing/assaulting her" discussion here, please.

[Romanticide]

Wait... what? Don't bring that sh**ty "Kazuma is bad because he's treating Aqua like tool/sexually harassing/assaulting her" discussion here, please.

He does that to Megumi, a 13 year old, too. It's not just about his actions with Aqua, and it is bad of him.

[Tenzen12]

That's totally wrong! He does it Megumin 14 years old and that one year is big deal here.

But the if it help you Kazuma never harass Aqua at least. Sexualy that is.

[Shadow5YA]

They're all "bad" people. Kazuma is a perverted and lazy HikiNEET. Aqua is selfish and vain. Megumin is trigger-happy and short-tempered. Darkness is a masochist who enjoys getting into trouble, despite not being able to fight back herself.

The only reason they've come so far is because they all keep each other in check. All the trouble the three girls get him into keep Kazuma busy so he can't afford to laze around for long. Kazuma keeps Aqua in check and prevents her from wasting all their money, as well as getting her to do her job as an arch-priest. He keeps Megumin in check and prevents her from wasting her only shot. He keeps Darkness in check whenever she leaves on her own.

it's hilarious to me that people still dont get this. these aren't good people, which is the point of this series. if you were looking for moral white-knights, look elsewhere

[Tenzen12]

That said, Kazuma behave well, when teamed with people who doesn't deserve to be harassed.

[quigonkenny]

Does he ever stop sexually harassing/assaulting people ? I had to drop the anime once i found out, but i'm curious if he stopped.
Kazuma has never (intentionally) sexually harassed anyone over the course of the series, and certainly has never sexually assaulted anyone. You make him sound like that pervert MC from To Love Ru. Talk about someone who'd be under the jail right now if real law were anime law.

That said, Kazuma has threatened to do both (generally in response to physical threat), but it's left up to the reader as to whether he would have gone through with it.

He stole Megumin's panties. He also made quite the display of brandishing Chris's panties in the anime.

Technically everything Rito does is unintentional as well. That doesn't really excuse him now, does it?

Actually, my comparison with TLR was more for quantity and degree. And yes, lack of intent often does excuse otherwise criminal behavior.

Stealing Megumin's panties was unintentional. And as for "brandishing" Chris' panties, think of it from Kazuma's perspective. He's a healthy teenage pervert boy and has, through no intent of his own, been granted a great treasure (greater than he knows, actually). Of course he's going to be excited. He didn't exactly go around crowing about it afterwards, after the initial excitement of it wore off, did he? Chris was the one who ended up turning it into a continuing embarrassment.

[Village Idiot]

Not to mention Kazuma was getting back at Chris for essentially trying to scam him.

[kazzuya]

Furthermore it is a bet with both parties consent that kazuma can own the item that he will gained after the bet.Because it is technically his own possession he can do whatever he wants with it. And Chris and anyone else has no.choice but accept the result.

[darks]

After reading vol 7 of konosuba i really wish that aqua would just die

[Tenzen12]

Stealing panties by accident is on thing, but it's not like that's only thing he did to Megumin and Chris, isn't it?

[Okashira]

Stealing panties by accident is on thing, but it's not like that's only thing he did to Megumin and Chris, isn't it?

Thinking about it, at different times; those two had to run away from a perfectly closed room since it was a very dangerous situation :heh: :heh: :heh:

[tuckersister]

Does Chris talk to Kazuma more openly after he found out she was Eris?

[Fiir-chan]

Does Chris talk to Kazuma more openly after he found out she was Eris?

With how kazuma treats darkness and aqua, i dont think eris has any reason not to. Iirc she does say that its fun bein around him, kazuma will probably melt with her around though. Strange, this reminds me of a chapter in kamachi kazuma's book. The part where its a pink/red arrow for the girl but its complete black fo the guy.

[quigonkenny]

Stealing panties by accident is on thing, but it's not like that's only thing he did to Megumin and Chris, isn't it?
Slept in same bed at Home of the Crimson Mazoku with Megumin magically passed out for some of it (harassment on her mother Yuiyui's part, there). Didn't do anything untoward. Had Megumin violate his body while he was dead and deciding whether or not to rez. That's about it for Megumin.

Groped Chris while wrestling with her in the dark, as he thought she was a dude (when Chris broke into Derpaderp's mansion looking for Cheats). Might have threatened to Bind her once or twice (as payback). That's it for Chris.

Most of Kazuma's reputation is just that. Reputation. Most of his "crimes" have been exaggerations and hyperbole.

[Tenzen12]

Kazuma didn't do anything untoward,, because Megumin barely escaped from his perverted hands, even though Kazuma tried seal all escape routes beforehand. He even openly admitted his intend go for kill.

As for Chris Kazuma groped her on at least three separate occasions. And even that "mistaken for guy" was just blatant excuse.

Kazuma reputation is well deserved a d almost always on spot.

That "someone" is Beldia?

that right

[Breimn]

Just a question.

Why didnt she kill him? Did she not become a lich to save her comrades? Did she perharps do a deal with maou, with him stopping the death curse and her serving him?

[Introspector]

Beldia hide in Maou's castle. She became lich to find Beldia. Afterthat She quit adventure and Maou ask her to bear a barrier as apology to destroy his castle.Anyway She stolel Maou's treasure to open shop

[quigonkenny]

Wiz's kid with Kazuma.

Sike

[obnuchious]

so after Megumin, there's Vanir . . . and to think that receptionist girl will be included . . .

[Kaizerkoala]

Wiz's kid with Kazuma.

That's my head canon now.... Oops...

[hibiki3190]

Just finish KonoKamen. ;)


Wiz make magic's store out of money, Vanir have to work more to earn money. (use his power for counseling, in guild)

Short-story of Yunyun : Maiden of ''hundred years of solitude'', wanna find friend. she gets bad-boys (Dust) entice and flirt, then with Dust and Vanir together looking friend for Yunyun. Generally failed, Vanir suggest Yunyun make friend with Wiz.

Short-story of Elise (Iris's fakename) : in the position "daughter of the silk merchant", hime-tan hired Vanir as guidance, looking for bad guys to punish for justice, then will show-off with her "onii-chan". But was unsuccessful because of this town's weird. She go back to home and don't meet her "onii-chan". Poor hime-tan. :(

Short-story of Luna: Vanir noticed her, and he begin "flirt" Luna under the support of YunYun and Wiz. But the fact is... =]]

Short-story of Succubus: nothing to spoil. =]]

Short-story of Wiz: Damegami-sama (Aqua) to drink tea as usual, she wondered why Wiz become the Lich and Wiz began to tell the past when she was as the adventurer. Her team met Vanir, day by day being teased by Vanir. Someday, her team was cursed by Beldia, Vanir helped her learn magic forbidden, become Lich. Wiz has attacked the Maou's fortress, defeating Hans and Sylvia, forced Beldia to remove curses, then she accepted to keep barrier of Maou, as atonement.

>defeating 3 demon generals alone
How much OP is she?Are we sure she is not a transported person or something like that? Maybe the lich skills should really be nerfed .Or did she get help from Vanir?

[Kaizerkoala]

Seem like as a human she have no problem beating Beldia . So when she become a lich....

Maybe the only one that she couldn't beat is Maou himself.

[hibiki3190]

When Wiz still a human, she is a mage very strong. Maou reward her team's head with a very high price. (but still can't kill Vanir, lolz =]] )
And she solo while attacked the Maou's fortress.

[kazzuya]

It is impossible to defeat Vanir without Aqua. After all Vanir said so himself that he is (might) stronger than the Maou.

[Village Idiot]

Remember Vanir holds back because he doesn't want to kill any humans.

[KnightShade]

vanir and wiz ftw

[Katori]

anyone know when the vol 8 come out
i hope the next vol will focus on wiz

[kazzuya]

Remember Vanir holds back because he doesn't want to kill any humans.

He didn't hold back because Aqua is not human.

[quigonkenny]

He didn't hold back because Aqua is not human.
Not to mention she's on the shortlist of existences in this world that can give him trouble. The only other characters on that list that we've seen or heard of so far are probably Eris, the Demon King, and Lady Wolbach. Maybe Max, too, though probably not while he's in his current state.

[Fiir-chan]

Wiz is too frigging OP. So thats why Hans turned tail when she got mad and beldia was currying her favor and peeking up her skirt.

[Nvis]

I get the idea from reading here that Beldia chickened out and ran inside the Maou Barrier and human Wiz couldn't follow him in.

Didn't we learn that we needed to beat all the generals(or most in Aqua's case) to dispel the barrier?

So she became Lich to be able to enter barrier and kick ass?

[watisit]

anyone know when the vol 8 come out
i hope the next vol will focus on wiz

? Vol 8 is out, unless you're referring to the TLs in which case I don't know. Vol 8 is focused on Chris. And Vol 9 very likely on Megumin

[Fiir-chan]

Rofl. Emperor Zell finally hatched, and volume 2 chapter 3 of explosions is damned funny

[quigonkenny]

"It wouldn’t be surprising if someone developed affections towards me. Or rather, it was strange that I still did not have a harem after living among the girls for so long."
I don't know if I've ever seen a line of internal dialogue so succinctly epitomize a character...

Though after reading the latest chapter of KonoBaku, neither he nor Darkness are even close to the title of "most perverted character"...

[Okashira]

Rolf! :heh: :heh: Now that the evil landlord is not in town, Kazuma is the most evil and despicable person in that city!! :heh: :heh: :heh: :heh:


Even though it is a chicken, its name was the most impressive among us.


:heh: :heh:

[Elestia]

Even Chomusuke is wary of it. Another fun chapter, but had mixed feelings about this chapter of konobaku. Mainly about Zesta, he seemed like a really funny character, but wasn't he eaten by Hanz? I feel like I am going to dread reading his final moments.

[Waxman]

No, if you remember Zesta appear in the epilogue speaking about Aqua real identity.
.
Also, guarding the entrance to the source of the hot springs were Eris believers so i believe poor Zestas will be relieved from his duties.

You're making the same mistake the lady knight is making. She's not thinking fourth dimensionally, which one has to do when dealing with prophesies. Keep in mind that in KonoBaku we are currently several months to a year before all those events in the main series take place. This may very well be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The accusation being leveled at Zesta's position causes him to be removed from it, allowing the eventual victim, and thus Hans, to take his place.

[Elestia]

Had to re-read the epilogue, but I had thought it was Cecily at the time. That's a relief.

[Kuroageha]

So Aqua is a literal cuck.

[The Green One]

The custody battle was a long and bloody ordeal.....

[quigonkenny]

So Aqua is a literal cuck.
INB4 Konosuba NTR doujins...

Actually, I imagine it's probably a little late for an INB4 on that one...

Had to re-read the epilogue, but I had thought it was Cecily at the time. That's a relief.
When we visited Alcanretia in the main series, it was made apparent that there is something terribly wrong with the Aqua cultists.

But now, after seeing Zesta and Cecily in their full glory...I say they take off and nuke the entire city from orbit. Only way to be sure..

[Tenzen12]

I thought Vanir is only one who can be hilariously dick and get away with that. Seeing him get rough threatment just because completely legit transaction AND loose all profit pain me greatly:(

Zestas is the head priest of the Axis cult. The one eaten by Hans is the manager of the hot spring source.

@Carinder

I presume Kuro is referring to how Vanir NTRed the chick from Aqua seeing as how it thinks Vanir is its parent rather than Aqua.

For quigon I presume he chose the wrong quote for the last two lines.

For Tenzen it's how Vanir tries to earn money only for Wiz to blow it all on useless things which cannot be sold.

[Kaizerkoala]

got it

let vanir take care of the chick. i wouldn't trust anything with aqua, not even the taxes.. except when one needs resurrection

go nuke alcanretia.. its complete whack

[Dual Blades]

Nah nukess might not work if you guys rmb Aliens Colonial Marines that god awful game. Axis cultists = xenomorphs and facefuckers I mean huggers, Aqua = Hive Queen. It's going to take who knows how many explosions and a lot of Manatite lol.

[Fiir-chan]

Oh my god, the updates today are full of complete crackheads and idiocy!!

Just amazing! With cecily around in the main series, its like there are two aquas. Also, aigis finally appeared but heck..!!

Kisama haninnda! Damn it megumin! It was your fault i was laughing to death in volume 4, you created and taught all those techniques and whacky stunts the aqua cultists are pulling left and right..! Poor anis, she only wanted to be with her master. Also, zesta was OP despite having the bearings in his brain completely missing

[amtro]

What's this about Aqua being a literal cuck I hear?

[Waxman]

More that Aqua beign a cuckoo she was cuckooed whe someone sold her a "dragon egg".
.
So she became the proud mother of Emperor Zell.
.
Anyways these last chapters were really great, i am loving to hate these axis cultist.

[Shadow5YA]

Anyone know if the Yunyun OVA is officially out yet?

[fullillegal]

Luna is only a receptionist, or she has other "part-time job"?(like Wiz)

[Tenzen12]

To be honest Aqua and her cult is getting old afaic. In other hand Chris/Eris is full of gold. I am thinking about switching from Darkness ship to best goddess ship, Kazuma and her have perfect chemistry.

[Breimn]

Daily reminder that Chris alone has as much worth as an harem by herself and so is best choice!

[quigonkenny]

Well, she's not an chuuni Explosion loli or a masochist amazon, so clearly she's not worth as much as the harem Kazuma already has...

Anyone who deals with two and more crazies on daily basis?

[KnightShade]

eh scumzuma isn't exactly mr idealistic either :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Kazuma has his predispositions, that much is true, but lot of his behavior comes from reactions to all craps he is facing. He can be very nice on people that are nice to him (Yunyun Wiz...ect) Get him together with Chris/Eris and result will be just slightly mischievous Saintzuma (otherwise he would receive terrifying divine punishment anyway).

[Fiir-chan]

It is sad to know that you can no longer subtly sekuhara your favorite girl in any situation.

[KnightShade]

i'm reading the megumin spinoff and i gotta say, the yunyun x megumin frienemy dynamic is hilarious. yunyun is so tsundere for megs :heh: and i just love how chunni that whole village is! the food names are too much. sacrificial lamb sandwhich for the demon god? wtf does that even taste like :heh:

[quigonkenny]

with explosion-chan and dankness, who needs pads-chan?
Now, let's not go overboard here. I never suggested Eris/Chris couldn't find a place in the harem, I only suggested that she's not worth more than the two primary members. It's a harem. By definition, the more the merrier.

you have point, guess i misread *shrugs

but yes the more the merrier :heh:

[Fiir-chan]

Do remember she fills up two character slots, crhis and eris. True she wont weigh as much as megumin or aqua by significance, but she is on par with yunyun and wiz.

[Tenzen12]

I don't really think you can say Chris/Eris is less worth than "primary members" considered their "worthiness" are causally in negative values...

[quigonkenny]

I don't really think you can say Chris/Eris is less worth than "primary members" considered their "worthiness" are causally in negative values...
Not practical worth. Harem member worth. Very few characters in this series are very useful practically, except in specific situations. Pretty much just Kazuma and Vanir. The three stooges' pluses and minuses are well known. Wiz is a fine Arch Wizard, but don't let her near the money. So is Yunyun, but she's terminally insecure and a walking doormat. Chris/Eris is a competent goddess and thief, but she gets flustered in situations she should easily be able to handle, and appears to be letting her thief side get a little out of hand, if the latest chapter is any clue. Zesta and Cecily? Scarily competent Arch Priest and Priestess respectively, but both of them should be locked up for various levels of criminal sexual indecency, with Cecily also in need of some food addictions counseling. Katsuragi? Lol...where do I start? Iris? Well, we haven't really seen enough of her to tell. She certainly has poor taste in men, but that's hardly uncommon in this story, given that Kazuma is the designated harem lead...

There's a whole lot of broken in this world.

[Tenzen12]

Eris doesn't let her thief side get better of her, it's her chivalrous thief side. Stealing from greedy pigs and give it poor children. It might be impractical, but hardly negative quality. I also think you overestimate whole "getting flustered easy". She is solid candidate for best girl objectively speaking... both if them.

Wiz, yeah her inability handle money, might be cons comparable of explosion freak-ness or hard core masochism. If Kazuma wanted to date her, he would need make Vanir continue to be her handler, that much is true.

Yunyun is extremely insecure... but unlike other of her kind she wouldn't let herself to became burden to others. She really wants friends, but it's exactly that: friends. Not emotional crutch. I am pretty sure Kazuma could live pretty happily with her as wife.

Iris: well she is nice girl, issue is most of her merrit comes from her position instead of character. It's not her fault but if Kazuma became her husband he would became ultimate sleazball.

[Shadow5YA]

konobaku was nice, but I think the most interesting part was the "fairy tale" of the lone hero who eventually became the next demon lord.

Most likely it wasn't fiction at all, and Kazuma will eventually meet him.

as for konosuba, I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get an illustration of Kazuma drinking together with the two succubi :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Why my dear Chris had to go through all this cr*p? She is only normal, nice person around. I guess Karma is just used to everyone being idiots it stopped checking list...

[quigonkenny]

Kazuma confirmed as greatest MC of all time.

[Okashira]

Why my dear Chris had to go through all this cr*p? She is only normal, nice person around. I guess Karma is just used to everyone being idiots it stopped checking list...

Check the novel from the beginning, it was pretty much shown from the get go that Eris only dark point and source of unhappiness is being Aqua's kouhai and being unable to go against her demands :heh: :heh: :heh:



“Hey, why am I still helping out!?”


:heh: :heh: :heh:

[Fiir-chan]

you know whats the saddest part in all that?

Chris losing devout believers because she set up a stall for the axis cult.

jfc your opponent is too strong

[quigonkenny]

Author-chan is a comic genius. I won't say I've never laughed at a novel as much as I have with these (though I can't think of one I have, off the top of my head), but I'm pretty sure I've never laughed at one this much that had to go through the process of translation for me to read it. The only ones I can think of that are even in the conversation are NGNL and Haruhi, and while both are great, and each probably do some things better than KonoSuba, both pale in comparison when it comes to just straight up humor.

[Dual Blades]

Praise Konosuba. Has me cramping and peeing my pants.

[Fiir-chan]

its wednesday m'dudes. wednesday

[Village Idiot]

Poor Chris became the butt of all jokes.

[Shadow5YA]

Doesn't Aigis' tastes make him a perfect fit for Darkness's body? This all could have been avoided if they had just offered her body :heh:

[The Green One]

Assuming they don't just get the iron claw for revealing to Darkness that they were out thieving again.

[Shadow5YA]

too late for that now :heh:

[The Green One]

Totally called it. :heh:

[EvI]

hahahahaha poor chris, goddess of luck became the target of everyone jokes
sorry but for me eris best girl "main heroine" hahaha

[Fiir-chan]

oh dear aigis is kind of getting annoying now..

and chris getting all insecure because everyone else she know is gradually approaching the top of the stairs to adulthood is too cute

[Kaizerkoala]

Now we know why she's jumping straight to the second place of popular poll in one book.

Hail Eris!

+1 my man.

kazuma needs a harem so his life can be even more hilariously messed up. :heh:

[EvI]

^agree this can't just end with megumin route

let kazuma enter harem route later, please author

[KnightShade]

^agree this can't just end with megumin route

let kazuma enter harem route later, please author

well the wn did end on an open note with megumin and darkness, but with eris blowing up in popularity i could see a harem end

but yeah it can't just end with megumin. as entertaining as she is, i just dont find her as attractive as the others(never was a lolicon). the constant self-cockblocking and being a complete bitch to yunyun in her own spinoff(and in general) doesn't help, as funny as both of them were.
