[Ruki0089]

Nope, it's time for her to attack!

[watisit]

So is it confirmed that Darkness ship sunk? or its a lie?

I wouldn't say sunk, but Megumin is definitely in the lead.

[Mirable]

So is it confirmed that Darkness ship sunk? or its a lie?
According to runset and kidstandout spoiler, it isn't sunk and definitely won't sail either, Megumin ship too. Author will stall their relationship, not making any process till the end.

[Kuroageha]

After catching up after months and. seeing the current developments I can say Darkness ship is just a bone thrown to her fans, Megumin's sailed buy can't see where it will arrive until series ends and Aqua's is as dead as her braincells.

[runset]

Just saw this special konosuba channel starting megumin, kazuma, and eris VA.
Promoting latest novel + other of bunch new novel and also confirming about what they said in last konosuba radio. They even still have the letter and envelope that was given to them when they announce a new animation project.
They didn't know what kind of animation project and when it will be informed to them. Megumin VA said that the anime is in the 4th vol of LN and just said that let's do until vol 6. the possibilities are endless.

Takahashi Rie also voiced that "sentence" from the colored illustration of vol 12.

I heart in reddit discord. Author says that he was neglecting Aqua for a while so I assume that next vol is Aqua vol. It was writen in afterwords.

Sorry for bad english.

[Kuroageha]

I meant her ship.

[KnightShade]

Wat ship? XD

Exactly that!

Oh so THAT'S what that rotting pile of lumber and trash on the dock was. I was wondering about that.

Aqua doesn't even understand what it means to be romantically interested :heh:

She don't need any guy or man in general, she can go get a woman though. :D

So, who is the minidarkness?

[Jorna]

Finally caught up, looks like everything is going fine.

[Ulin]

I've just started reading the first novel but I found it, at least at the beginning (I've read around 40 pages or so yesterday at night) surpringsingly poorly written. If I didn't know how funny it is because of the anime, I don't know if I would keep on reading it. Does the writing style improve as the volumes go on? Maybe it is just the beginning... I'll make a report when I finish the first novel

[Lnlover]

I didn't read the ln from the first volume but from when I read, the Ln was interesting and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

-Kazuma defeated demon lord with point blank explosion.
-die as result.
-he got choice again. reincarnated as rich child have beautiful wife in earth, reincarnated again in another world as genius child, or continue in this world as it is and still may wordship awaiting him since demon lord is only one of those boss character.
-he choose Aqua[she also resummoned to divine world] and to continue his hardship.
-the epilogue is from Goddess Eris, How Darkness got huge boost in her nobility status and keep receiving marriage proposal but rejecting all of it and keep telling Kazuma about it[Eris commented that this guy is so slow by not noticing that SHE ACTUALLY WAITING FOR KAZUMA PROPOSAL], Megumin still with her hobby exploding castle.

You're wrong about Kazuma choosing Aqua, he actually chose Eris as he was about to pick Aqua because he was pissed by Aqua saying he is useless without her. But Aqua still followed them. And they reappear in the throne room re uniting witj everyone.

WN ending is translated

[Iroha Isshiki]

^really? but na dont need it, I read it a long time ago.

Also WN ending isnt the true ending, it'a the LN ending that we should prioritize, and this time I hope author wont pull the same stunt he did on WN. And just give a real harem ending.

[Hakuri1]

and Kazuma chousen Eris bekause he marked heaven as his teleport point. He admited it if he failed to register heavens then even he wont leave Aqua there.

theres not alot of LN with true harem endings

[Roxanne]

I am curious now in the LN Kazuma will choose Eris again? :heh:

you are worry too soon, the LN seem very far from ending:heh:

[Kaizerkoala]

Could someone confirm me, I remember that from word of god, Eris is the "main Heroine?" (with "?"). Maybe from Volume 2 character introduction or something.

But then again, it doesn't mean she will end up with Kazuma though.

[Zer]

Volume 13 looks good

[Xero8420]

Whatever happens to Lalatina...

[Hujan]

I am disappointes with Kazuma in the last volume, That's NOT Kazuma that I knew.
The Kazuma that I knew is a SCUM that will jump in the opportunity, considering Darkness had serving herself to him, The Kazuma that I knew, as a regular in a "certain" shop would happily accept Darkness.

I think Megumin is the best character, but I dont think as the best pairing, that's why I hope this will be Harem ending. I like Eris the most and Kazuma had confess to Eris (although in a teasing tone), and Eris didnt answer seriously. sad. T.T

Changing the topic a little, do you guys think that the author's New novel Will have a similar vibe to Konosuba? Just looking at the cover and seeing how similar the cover of the first volumes of the two series are made me think that maybe this story also happens in the Konosuba world (It would be pretty awesome If that's the case)

I think she was meeting someone fancy. Or going on a date, hence the peepers.

[tuckersister]

In the end, Kazuma and Yunyun would make a decent couple.

[DanielSong39]

I'd take Rin over any of the girls in Kazuma's party but I suppose it's a lost opportunity.

[tuckersister]

I wonder if Kazuma and Megumin are trying to make their relationship work.

[Mr.Snappy]

Can someone explain to me wut happend to darkness? Did she quit on kazuma? And is she still on the party? And is it true that dust's girlfriend is yunyun?

[joako210293]

Can someone explain to me wut happend to darkness? Did she quit on kazuma? And is she still on the party? And is it true that dust's girlfriend is yunyun?

not exactly, from what I understood, kazuma rejected her advances since she was somewhat confused and he did not want to take advantage of her or something like that and also because he doesnt know whats going on with megumin. she accepted it but still did not give up on him and asked him to tolerate her advances from now on. as for yunyunXdust, in the volumes that I have read so far there is no progress nor evidence that they have feelings for each other

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Isn't Dust into Rin? I remember that in one of the volumes he and Kazuma followed her because she had a "date", the outcome was great lol.

[Ruki0089]

I wonder if Dust actually got his butt raped...:heh:

[tuckersister]

I need to know if Kazuma and Megamin are in a relationship cuz it was mention throughout in Vol 12. They have hard time get alone time.

[The Green One]

Don't bother trying to hide yourself Darkness. You know you want us to look.

[tuckersister]

Still no spoilers for the recent volume. I'll keep looking at the wiki site more often.

[Rinvelt]

^Just finished it. Basically:

There is a guy who wants to fight Wiz for a reason, but because of how he worded it she thinks it's a marriage proposal and half the volume is about her worrying between quitting the shop and Vanir or not. Of course, at the same time the usual shenanigans of the characters continue.

As for the relationships:
Megumin being more open about how she loves Kazuma saying stuff like he's her man.
Darkness is still tempting Kazuma.
Kazuma still saying he wants to be earnest and only be with Megumin, but it couldn't be helped if Darkness who is stronger than him assaulted him and gives her a chance to assault him. (stopped by Megumin)
Aqua is Aqua.

Thing that happens in this volume which connect to the next:
There is actually the selection of the next chief of the Crimson Demon Clan which Yunyun was selected to participate. She can take one person with her (asked Dusk at first, but he refused) and ends up going with Megumin. There are three trials and she failed two times because of Megumin using Explosion. Volume ends with her asking Kazuma this time.
Of course other things happen (though this volume is short), but tried to be vague and not give too much info because it's going to be translated anyway, so not like a summary is really needed.

[GLDarkLord]

^ So next volume will be focusing on Yun yun and her trial?

[Rinvelt]

^I guess? I mean, I think it'll me the main thread, but like this volume, which was supposed to be on Wiz, it'll just be the characters messing around together as usual.

[tuckersister]

Kazuma and Megumin can never catch a break can they. Also if Yunyun failed 2 out 3, doesn't that mean she automatic can't be chosen?

[Shadow5YA]

It'll probably be another Megumin volume, much like how vol 12 was still mostly Darkness despite the introduction of Sylphina.

[GLDarkLord]

I see , i have some understanding on how the author used his characters. Yunyun is probably a subplot for the first chapters in the next volume..... but still ,i m hoping she Will be the cover girl in the next volume. If we follow the pattern of previous cover girls, she always after Wiz.

Also, dammit Kazuma! Don't stick one girl in a fantasy world!. Go for the harem route goddammit!

[joako210293]

my best girl was rejected :(

I still do not understand why people think that the ship of darkness is over and megumin is still valid. I mean we already know what kind of novel this is, it will not follow the typical rules and cliches. from my bitter opinion kazuma is only a very stubborn coward and does not dare to have anything nor with megumin nor with darkness even if he likes both of them. i mean, according to him, with megumin they are not lovers, but they are more than friends (so nothing). with darkness they are only friends but sexual harassment is allowed (so nothing). those two do not care about polygamy in particular, but kazuma surprisingly and conveniently yes he does, and thats because if he agrees with polygamy, everything is resolved, Both megumin and darkness would not feel bad for each other and the relationship would be good. but for the love of argument, kazuma must be a good for nothing and have nothing with anyone

[blitz1/2]

I REALLY hope that the author will do a different spinoff in which he has the other heroines (Wiz, Chris , YunYun and Iris in his party). Let's see how Scumzuma will turn out.

Geez, what do you expect from Kazuma?
He admitted himself that he have zero experience when it come to romance... Do you expect him to just say "I love you both" and problem solved?
Yes, Kazuma is good for nothing coward but he at least trying...
He is better than any stupid dense mc...

of course i know that, is as you say. but the thing that I am emphasizing is that knowing the personality of kazuma and the way this novel is going, its kind of silly to suppose that the relationship of kazuma with megumin is a fact and the relation with Darkness is over.

[Rinvelt]

Because nobody cares with spoilers, going to write directly.
Kazuma said he liked both, just that Megumin confessed first and quite a long time before Darkness, so he has been far more conscious of her, so he 'chose' her. Kazuma wants to be an earnest man, so no two-timing.
But the thing is that, in the end, he's still Scumzuma, so even if he says that, he still wants Darkness to assault him because it wouldn't be his fault then. So he provoke her to make it happen and even says in public that her boobs are his.

So in the end, he's still Scumzuma.

Megumin...my best girl~~

[AB079]

For a little bit more context (credits to magnavalon).

「“You want a lover, right? ...Does that really have to be Megumin?”

“If you simply want a woman to screw… Can't I be that woman? I can go along with anything you wish,
no matter what it is, I'll endure it.”

“... I also…”

“... I like you too.”

“... I like you. At first because you were scummy and I liked scumbags, so it was a perfect fit. However,
as time went on… my type shifted to just you. No matter what you turn into, I would always like you.”

What’s happening? This is bad.

I’m glad.

I'm really very happy.

“... I like you… yet you say that you love Megumin. Even then, I still like you… and Megumin. Aqua, too.
I feared that the things I just said would destroy the harmony within our party, so I was originally going to
keep them to myself, but…”

“... Kazuma… Will I… really… not work…?”

Damn, why can’t this world be like those eroges?

“... I never came close to anything like romance in the country I’m from. Back then, I’ve always felt that
I’d probably end up being single forever… that I’d probably never get the chance to chat properly with a
girl… And here you are telling me that you like me for who I am. How could I not be happy?”

... My heart hurts, it hurts so bad that I might burst into tears.

Just like in light novels, in games.

Like in harem manga.

“... But… I’m sorry. I already have someone in my heart. I’m not thick-skinned enough that I can go 'I love
you too' under this circumstance, and I'm not experienced enough to be able to go out with two girls
simultaneously. I’m not that trashy of a person. I can’t be with you.”

If I'm in an alternate world, it'd be great if I could go for polygamy.

Arriving at a happy ending without needing to choose would be great.

But these thoughts are nothing but empty wishes.

Darkness closed her eyes and looked back down—
—I wonder how long we spent in silence.

Finally, Darkness spoke up,

“...Thank you for answering me honestly… Sorry for all the trouble.”」

He's more or less mocking his younger self for what he thought.

The ol' "It's not CIS, it's meta commentary!" excuse.

It's less that he's mocking his younger self and more him chickening out of the very prospect he's been indulging since he got there. "I'm not that much of a scumbag" pretty much screams copout.

Megumin is good and she is cute but I think that Kazuma x Darkness would be pretty much a perfect match, a shame that he basically rejected her.

“... I like you… yet you say that you love Megumin. Even then, I still like you… and Megumin. Aqua, too.
I feared that the things I just said would destroy the harmony within our party, so I was originally going to
keep them to myself, but…”

“... Kazuma… Will I… really… not work…?”

Damn, why can’t this world be like those eroges?

“... I never came close to anything like romance in the country I’m from. Back then, I’ve always felt that
I’d probably end up being single forever… that I’d probably never get the chance to chat properly with a
girl… And here you are telling me that you like me for who I am. How could I not be happy?”

... My heart hurts, it hurts so bad that I might burst into tears.

Just like in light novels, in games.

Like in harem manga.

“... But… I’m sorry. I already have someone in my heart. I’m not thick-skinned enough that I can go 'I love
you too' under this circumstance, and I'm not experienced enough to be able to go out with two girls
simultaneously. I’m not that trashy of a person. I can’t be with you.”

If I'm in an alternate world, it'd be great if I could go for polygamy.

Arriving at a happy ending without needing to choose would be great.

But these thoughts are nothing but empty wishes.

Darkness closed her eyes and looked back down—
—I wonder how long we spent in silence.

Finally, Darkness spoke up,

“...Thank you for answering me honestly… Sorry for all the trouble.”」
I'm greatly disappointed in Kazuma in this scene. I hope he will change his mind and choose the polygamy route.
Since this series has become mainstream, it should go for polygamy route and show the mainstream people that polygamy can be done.

[Tenzen12]

Megumin is good and she is cute but I think that Kazuma x Darkness would be pretty much a perfect match, a shame that he basically rejected her.

Kazuma and Megumin has great chemistry, but it all honesty I was pretty disappointed that he abandoned Darkness ship so easily as at one point they were into each other. He didn't make move on her because he was afraid to damage relationship in gang and than Megumin practically "stole" march on her.

This is why I personally don't like Kazuma x Megumin despite being really cute together.

[Rinvelt]

I still find it sad that now if he doesn't go the harem route the MC is treated like a wimp by the readers. I mean, come on, choosing one girl means you have the courage to shut down the others, and you love the girl to the point you want to be only hers as much as she's only yours. That's worthy of respect in my book.

Of course, it's sad for the other girls and I still prefer to have all the heroines happy with an harem end, but I'm just fed up with people saying that MCs able to be earnest and decisive are wimps.

But of course, this doesn't apply to Kazuma, and you should know it if you read the spoilers I wrote.

[Ruki0089]

@Rinvelt
I agree
Yup, some idiots desired harem ending like me... But I truly respect Kazuma... He admitted himself that that he have zero experience when it come to romance... Don't expect him to just say "I love you both" and problem solved... He completely clueless about Romance...
But he being be earnest and decisive... Which is very great... He is real man not some wimps

[LeftSeven]

i'd prefer this series ended with open-end or kazumax eris lol than otp , such thing like romance is meh. someone like scumzuma basicaly just a coward because of what he'd been experienced in his previous life in japan as neet, suddenly got love development from people near him make his head like boom, he choose to be with megumin for now as a result of megumin keep attacking him behind her rival, so if darkness don't give up once more perhaps kazuma would change his mind. yeah he is scumzuma, undecisivezuma anyway

[KnightShade]

Its not about this being a harem or otp; either is fine just dont waste my time with volumes teasing both options only to go nowhere. Kazuma being all talk only makes this worse.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Its not about this being a harem or otp; either is fine just dont waste my time with volumes teasing both options only to go nowhere. Kazuma being all talk only makes this worse.

I completely agree, we know how Megumin feels about him and how he feels about her, It frustrates me that neither gave a step into deepening their relationship, also, is it too much to ask for a kiss?

[LeftSeven]

kiss? hah !!
what do you expect from a boy who'd rather go to succubus ero service instead of execute some hot chick in his party, even in WN he's still same.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

That's exactly why Kazuma disappoints me sometimes lol

[Ruki0089]

What do you people expect from Dude that have no love experience? You asking from too much from Kazuma...

[The Green One]

Mainly I'm just seeing people frustrated that their favored paring or pairings is not currently being supported by the story. People get invested in pairings they like and get disappointed when they don't work out.

Then there are the people who get more......extreme about it to put it politely, but we won't talk about those.

[Ruki0089]

Lol, it's not like Darkness give up though.. she will be more aggressive to get Kazuma...

[Idealist 99]

" If I'm in an ALTERNATE WORLD, it'd be great if I could go for polygamy. "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you living now? Dumbass

There are two very legitimate reason for Kazuma to follow polygame --

--- Its an alternate world of a novel so Japan's law doesn't work there

--- No matter whom Kazuma chooses at the end, he still have to live with all 3 of thse girls because he is the only one that can handle them. In fact, they are already living together under one roof like a Polygamy family.

After all, what else would change if Kuzma marries both Megumin and Darkness expect sleeping with them ? Kuzma choosing only one of them can break the party apart.

[dragon1412]

surprise no one mentioned Aqua, purely by setting, Aqua can't be separated from Kazuma you know, of course, what they think about each other is a completely different matter.

[Ultragunner]

kiss? hah !!

“no experience” can be an excuse for being awkward, but everyone has to start somewhere right? :heh:

about the harem end though, before we jump into conclusions, what do Darkness and Megumi think (yes, no Aqua :p)? Kazuma would be helpless if they banded together on this matter :heh:

I wonder if there will be more Kazuma/Megumin awkward moments in future volumes now that they're a couple.

[Rinvelt]

Hey guys, finally got volume 12 in Japanese, so I can now say it clearly, the translation was a little wrong. (didn't want to say it without seeing the Japanese).

Here are the lines (Translated in English, too lazy to copy them in Japanese):
Even though it's an other world and I could just go for polygamy.
Even though I could just not choose anyone and everything would conveniently turn out fine.

So yeah, Kazuma isn't that dumb.

[Kuroageha]

I share that feelings, but the treatment he gets is expected when there is more than one favorite girl among readers.

[Weather]

Honestly in this context, its perfectly fine.

Kazuma perfectly explained his reason.

[AzureDragonX]

do you guys think in dust spin off novel there is a possibility they're gonna reveal the dragon knight who kidnapped a princess?

[Chosen_Hero]

Yeah, sorry but his reasons are partly just bullshit in my opinion. He is literally golden for the polygamy ending especially considering that being NTR'd ebery single day would be heaven to Darkness, I mean, he is/would treat her the same way he has whether they are together or not so I don't see the problem, also I am sure that the girls are close enough to at least talk it out and come to an agreement on how to divide his attention between both.

If I am correct they live in a fantasy world, right? A world were polygamy isn't illegal or unheard of, right? A world were having a mistress isn't exactly frowned upon, right? Soooo why does the real world's rule have to apply? He says he doesn't have any "experience", but how will he gain that experience if he doesn't even try it out? Let's be real, what exactly is going to change by becoming boyfriend and girlfriend (especially in anime/LN/manga, and especially in this series)? She will become slightly more dere and open about her feelings, and will be slightly more open to more risque advances and... That's about it. Any supposed serious relationship drama would just end up being a comedy moment in this series and would be Kazumas' fault it even happened in the first place since he would be the one to actively instigate it (he literally said he is putting effort into making Darkness attack him and that he wouldn't resist if she did), so scratch that out of the equation.

Darkness literally said that he is the only one she can see herself with or wants anymore, she has literally become Kazuma-sexual and it's not like Darkness (and to a lesser extent aqua) are going to go away anytime soon so Kazuma is still going to actively tease Darkness i to attacking and Darkness is still going to be in love with him... Welp, so much for wanting to be faithful to one girl.

Also, him saying what he said to Darkness and his real thoughts are contradicting each other and make him look not like the fun scumbag we know and love but as a true scumbag trying to pass himself as doing a rightful thing while actively trying to cheat by influencing someone else to act?... who even is this Kazuma? Won't that hurt Megumin far more than going the polygamy route? But as I already stated, if it ends up being handwaved as just a comedic moment, then what would be the point of not having the polygamy route at that point?:eyespin::confused:

Many LN and manga writers have this exact same problem where they somehow end up cornering themselves due to (for some reason) having their characters apply the normal worlds logic to a fantasy setting, so Kazuma is holding himself back due to normal world logic while actively knowing the same logic does not/does not have to have apply to this world only to turn around and actively go against the normal world logic he applied to his situation in a scummy way that could end up hurting the girl he supposedly loves but that also has a chance of becoming a comedic moment (you know, if actively instigating the cheating on his girlfriend can be a comedic moment for you) that would seem out of place due to his current relationship status? <--- This my friends isn't being meta, this is cornering yourself at it's finest.:twitch::eyespin:

It's a fantasy series, how can you go balls to the wall crazy on literally every aspect but when it come to the romance aspect it is somehow a no no to be loose with how their relationship could be? Why hold yourself back? Why hold your characters back, especially the one group of characters that barely have any restraints in the first place?:confused:

But, I could just be getting ahead of myself and in the next few volumes Megumin and Darkness could end up talking about it and coming to an agreement behind his back on how to share him or something (at this point they should be savvy to Kazama scumbag ways, at least enough to know that having a girlfriend won't stop him from acting like himself) and Kazama could just snap out of it and realize how ridiculous he is being (at least for the setting that he lives in). Also to clarify, I am not against Kazama being with Megumin, I am just dissapointed that the scumbag that I know is using the same generic excuse every other fantasy/harem series mc uses to avoid going down the route that is literally being handed to him on a silver platter. And like someone said a few post ago, why develop other female characters into having feeling for the mc if you are just going to stick to just one girl in the end and throw the others to the wayside as a cheerleading squad for the "main girl"? Kind of a waste of writing, at least in my opinion. As for Aqua... Well, she is the equivalent of that one kid in the corner that likes to eat paste, so just leave her as she is.:heh::heh:

Here's to hoping for the release of another season of the anime.

[Kuroageha]

The problem is Darkness is all talk at the end.

[Rinvelt]

Many LN and manga writers have this exact same problem where they somehow end up cornering themselves due to (for some reason) having their characters apply the normal worlds logic to a fantasy setting

Hmm, no? In fact, each time it becomes an harem, so I'd like it to be one heroine only sometimes... (I know a few like that, but it's nothing compared to the overwhelming number of harems in fantasy worlds)

Also, you're thinking too much. It's quite simple, Kazuma wants to be earnest with Megumin, but at the same time he has feelings for Darkness too. Kazuma being himself, that is, not being honest, he's probably trying to make Darkness assault him to have an excuse to give in, not for Megumin, but for himself.

Kazuma isn't conforming to the rules of Earth, he's just trying in his own clumsy way to be earnest with Megumin, just that in the end he's a man, and wants Darkness too.

It's already been stated multiple times that 1) Vanir has no gender and 2) that he prioritizes negative emotions above anything else.

Even if Wiz likes him (or "it"), it's clear Vanir will have feelings for anyone like that. Remember how he brushed aside the succubus because he was several thousands of years older than them?

They will always be a comedy duo, but Vanir will never fall in love with anyone, much less her.

[The Green One]

Vanir is always in love with Misery-chan. It's a bittersweet love.

So no Wiz/Vanir pairing possible. Vanir is spoken for.

[Chaserjacksaw]

wherever if there is Wiz x Vanir or Wiz x someone ooor Vanir x someone. And also wherever trashzuma X explosion or trashzuma x M or trash x useless.

There is only one truth..... Kazuma shall fail magnificent when the time come!! It will be a awesome "boink" scene!!! So that the love trouble shall never stop!!

And for those who ever wish for a harem end(which is clearly a pandemonium scenario regardless of what Imagination we have)
The only way for it to be possible is through Princess Iris to be wed to our trash scum virgin hero! By killing the Demon king(who is probably innocent or rather victim of Axis cult) in doing so he will have a privilage to wed the princess as the 1st wife and authority to have concubine. It will shut up all opposition of monogamy and with this, it will be reasonable and logically possible to have a harem despite you like it or not not. even the common sense of japan cannot by pass the fame and authority of a world savior, demon king slayer hero. despite his trashy reputation the populance shall sing praise for him the noble faction wont be able to do anything since Princess Iris shall surely be their enemy if they do so!


Also its a win win situation since Princess Iris also like the kazuma party she wont want them to be torn apart since its fun if the party is complete and also for sure the entire kingdom will expirience one hell of a ride of thise four were to rule above it! A trash, scum weakest hero, a explosion maniac, a noble hardcore masochist, a fcking useless failure of a goddess and a child like princess who mighty be the strongest individual in the that world history ever!

[joako210293]

so, ¿can someone give any spoiler or summary of volume 14?

[Rinvelt]

Just finished the volume, and considering all the bad ratings on Amazon, I still thought it was a great volume. But I understand the complaints. KonoSuba isn't what is was anymore, now it relies greatly on love comedy elements with Megumin at its centre.

Anyway, the comedy still works for me, so I won't complain. As long as I'm entertained and have my fun I'm fine with it. (and even if I'm not a Megumin fan their chemistry is pretty great and their interactions are really fun to read)

As for spoilers, it'll get translated after the Dust spin-off, so won't give any.

I just hope the author does more side volumes without the main cast, and that in itself says a lot on how stale the main series has gotten to me.

wondering if this series will get a harem ending or not, how's his relationships with his girl/harem?

[LeftSeven]

no, author has decided the otp kazumaxmegumin earlier to boost sales, so chance of harem ending is quite low, but let's hope the author get hit by truck, so she forget about the said otp.

[DanielSong39]

I support Megumin, she is surely the most popular female character. With that said Kazuma and Aqua do look good together in their rare moments, but she is admittedly a comic relief character.

[Log]

Kazuma and Aqua together is never gonna happen. Not in a million years. Among all the Kazuma x female couples Aqua easily has the least amount of chance just purely based off their relationship dynamics.

Right now Kazuma x Megumin or Kazuma x Megumin x Darkness (threesome end) looks the most possible.

[cyberdemon]

If he eventually marries the princess then he would eventually be king and kings have consorts. If not then he could make it legal lol

[LeftSeven]

or it takes wn ending=open ending..lol

After all the effort the author has put into the pairing with Megumin, I doubt it.

[NeutralZero]

Megumin can have this one but hopefully they'll make an alternative volume for a darkness end.

[Kuroageha]

New zoku volume out. I forgot. More church antics, Iris and the obvious otp.

Sorry Iris fans but it's not going to happen.

[mark1246]

it funny how i see all those 4chan post that dont understand the relationship with Kazumin, tell me if this is good enough to post:

"The relationship started in volume 5, which will be the upcoming movie.
Even Kauzma in that volume at the begining says that he is not attracted to Megumin at all, but throughout it he gets closer to her until the final part.
Vol 6-8 is slowly building more and more trust and moments between the 2 of them, Kazuma starts to get feelings for her by volume 8.
And they confess in volume 9, after that is just more building moments between the two until they become a couple in vol 12

So yeah, it honestly doesnt feel rushed, since it developed with the long run in mind"

[Endscape]

I have no problem with KazuMin, I just wish the author would stop beating around the bush already and make it official.

Gotta cock tease harem end as much as possible.

[Rimbo99]

Gotta cock tease harem end as much as possible.

It's natural progression. Let's face it, Kazuma is a scummy NEET with no social life and Megumin is a Chuunibyou, explosion loving psycho. They never had any interaction until they met each other.

BTW, do the Gods resent Aqua?

[Chaserjacksaw]

I personaly dont find it good the Kazu x Megumin ship why? Just because we all like megumin personality does not mean she is a good heroine....oh pls dont get me wrong I like her cuz she is crazy & funny & not because she is waifu for the story or something like a true main heroine

I like megumin as a character but just dont find her to be the type for a ending heroine at all....if thats the case whats up with all those darkness romantic event & Iris ring development who looks far more romantic than all of megumin scenario combine?

But oh well what can be done? Seems like were almost at the endgame regarding who is kazuscums partner...in the end Megumin become the heronine just because she is a popular character .......this ship felt like a misconception right from the beginning up till end... the fck~

[Tenzen12]

I like Megumin, but going that route was always pretty contrived to me, because Darkness built-up.

I mean they mutually liked each other, but Kazuma never make move because he was afraid to change status quo. Then it suddenly is not relevant and start dating Megumin without any kind of closure with Darkness.

As far as I am concerned Megumin >>>> Darkness, but I feel their romance was plainly written badly.

[Endscape]

Gotta cock tease harem end as much as possible.

Well yeah, but there's a point at which you reach diminishing returns with that. They'd be better off just sealing the deal with KazuMin and having Darkness continue trying to be his mistress or something.

That's not the reason it's Megumin. It's because the other two top options make zero sense. Why would you pair Kazuma with Aqua when he pretty much dragged her to this world out of spite. As for darkness... yeah a masochist like that would make an awful girlfriend. I mean seriously she gets turned on by the idea of everything and anything assaulting her. Kinda hard to pair her with anybody.

I disagree with u about Darkness, you notice right that Darkness M only happen when she's with Kazuma group. And she's also quite serious about her relationship with Kazuma, although always get rejected because Kazuma is scared.

Make no mistake Darkness is a fanfiction writers dream because she's got big breasts and doesn't mind most sexual scenario's but as a couple.. yeah no.

Darkness make lot of sense. Yes she is masochist, but even if we treat it as demerit (which is in matter of fact isn't when her partner is clearly Sadist like Kazuma), it doesn't change she and Kazuma had mutual feelings to each other and only reason why they didn't get together was because Kazuma was too cowardly change status quo as far. Then author just started pretend it never happened and pair him with Megumin instead without ever addressing his issue.

This is not matter who is best girl or who would make best girlfriend (out of three it is without doubt Megumin you are right about that), but about storytelling and Megumin got shoehorned pretty badly into relationship on account of Darkness who had most progress up to that point. If it was good story, Kazuma would now have "terrible" girlfriend and it would make perfect sense.

[Rinvelt]

^We already talked about that a few pages back. It's not like they pretented it never happened, it's just that Megumin actually stepped up before Darkness so it went in this direction.
Kazuma being the chicken he is (as well as trying to be faithful to Megumin) said he's already going out with Megumin so he can't be with Darkness, but he's still Scumzuma so he tries to create situations were he would end up with Darkness too.

Made a post back then too:
Because nobody cares with spoilers, going to write directly.
Kazuma said he liked both, just that Megumin confessed first and quite a long time before Darkness, so he has been far more conscious of her, so he 'chose' her. Kazuma wants to be an earnest man, so no two-timing.
But the thing is that, in the end, he's still Scumzuma, so even if he says that, he still wants Darkness to assault him because it wouldn't be his fault then. So he provokes her to make it happens and even says in public that her boobs are his.

So in the end, he's still Scumzuma.

I mean the new Goddess that replaced Aqua and that was terrible at her job so much so that they begged Aqua to come back. I had an idea for a one-shot using her and i need a name and description for her. if that one up there is the same i just need a name

[Breimn]

Isnt it probably the angel itself? And it is not that she is bad at the job, she probably just tells the truth as it is. That the world is a terrible place .

[jagt]

The one who took over Aqua was the angel I showed in my previous post, and you're right, she's too honest for the job, when she says to all the japaneses that they may becomes vegetals if something goes wrong while learning the other world language and about the risk of fighting in the flesh instead of from behind the monitor everyone refuses, that's why now they want Aqua that was good at deceiving them for accepting the reincarnation back in heaven.

[Ruki0089]

That's definitely the Angel.

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

Well that's fine by me. Thank you gentleman

[ultramanfanz12]

Can anyone share a summary/spoiler to vol 5 of dust spin-off?

[AntonKutovoi]

Some of the novels characters got voice actors in Konosuba mobile game:
Iris - Kanon Takao (Latina in Uchi no Musume, Aku in Maou-sama, Retry!)
Cecily - Ai Fairouz (Hibiki in Dumbbell Nan-Kilo Moteru?, Valkyrie in Cautious Hero)

[AP24]

Looks like Vol 17 is the final volume based on the synopsis

[WingedAccelerator]

If it's not April Fools', it was about time. I like the series as a whole, but there was no need to extend the webnovel content to 17 volumes and milk the franchise with all those spin-offs, even if they are entertaining as well. I would love to see the rest of the LN animated, but at least it would require 48 episodes and Kadokawa is notoriously stingy.

[Ruki0089]

It's gonna really end... Ahhhh... don't end it! Please give few more volume!!

[Soulwarfare42]

I prefer Darkness but Megumin is pretty much a winner at this point.

UNLESS the author decides to go with open ending or harem but I dunno...

I prefer harem ending, but quite sure that it will end with an open ending, Kazuma will remain as an indecisive scum that will not choose anyone, technically he will choose Megumin but they will end up as more than friends but not a couple, with Darkness they will not be a couple but he will let be sexualy harassed by her because technically it will not be his fault, and with Aqua they will be remain as partners....Although throughout history it has changed a bit in how they relate to each other, everyone's personalities have remained unchanged so it will surely end like this.

The best ending would be an open ending if we're being completely honest because none of them are suited for Kazuma in any role beyond what they are now. You have tons of characters connected to Kazuma. Megumin might have won the race but it's obvious her quirkiness won't allow for anything long term. Darkness may have lost the race but let's be real as a couple she and Kazuma wouldn't be suited well at all. Aqua and Chris are goddesses so no matter what feelings they have they have to run their groups Iris is too young. The group has relied on the fact that they work well because everyone has their role at this point and changing that wouldn't work

well you're right about it i just said i prefer an harem ending because if kazuma chose just one of them it would be kind of a bitter ending if you think of the rest of the group so yes technically an open ending would be the best option

[Kuroageha]

It's unlikely tha author would make Kazuma and Megumin to break just for an open ending. It's way too late for that.

[WingedAccelerator]

You know the drill already. If open ending, Kazuma x Megumin will be still a thing, but it will be kept on null in the final volume just to suggest Kazuma is not taken. Honestly, I want something different compared to the WN. Make Kazuma return to his world with Megumin on his side. :)

But what about Darkness, Aqua, Chris, Eris and the others? If it's just a Kazuma Megumin ending and nothing else, it would be a bitter ending if you think the others don't get anything and are left alone

[Rinvelt]

It was already confirmed that the LN will go farther than the WN, you know?
Volume 17 isn't the end of the series, but the end of the main story. After that it'll be after stories.

[WingedAccelerator]

You can't please everyone. I will take a couple ending over any coward open/pseudo-harem ending. Unless it's changed, Aqua also voiced that she wanted to go back to that Goddess dimension. Darkness just needs to find an S guy for her needs, not necessarily Kazuma. Chris-Eris is completely fine at her job.

Here I thought I would lost my favourite series...

Aqua and Eris/Chris are goddesses they really can't be shackled to one person even if they may want to. That and Aqua and kazuma are a horrible match.

Darkness is the type who would probably get off on the idea of an unrequited love. Hell it might actually make her want to become a true noble.

Nobody else would even make any sense since Yunyun and Wiz are side characters and Iris is a brat. If Iris was Kazuma's age that would be one thing but she's not.

[Shadow5YA]

Darkness just needs to find an S guy for her needs, not necessarily Kazuma. Chris-Eris is completely fine at her job.

Aqua has also said that she likes it in Alcanretia and wouldn't mind continuing to live her current life on multiple occasions. It was only recently that the heavens asked to bring Aqua back since there weren't enough souls being transported to this world :heh:
That aside, it's been stated multiple times that Kazuma does not see her as a romantic partner because of her personality.

Chris has also stated multiple times towards both Darkness and Megumin during their girl talk that she would give them her full blessing and support to go for Kazuma. I don't think she has any particular affection for Kazuma either.

So ultimately it really just comes down to Darkness and Megumin.

[Sixth]

I just binge some volumes this week and it made me laugh so hard.

Sometimes I don't get it about the Guild Girl. She hates Kazuma for being a scum but at the same time, she needs his scum personality to finish off the Tranquility Princess. :heh:

Although it is nice to see that there are people out there actually accepting the fact that Kazuma is the most terrifying man for real in the world whether from human side and demon side.

I guess that Aqua is his true walking Cheat Item. Cheat Death ability, Curse Remover, Ultimate healing that even cancel the Memory Loss Potion, and almost instant kill power against undead and demon is so useful and amazing compared to other Divine Items in the series.

[The Green One]

Well Kazuma and his group gets results in the fight against the Demon King and his generals so people are a bit more forgiving of their antics then they would be otherwise.

[ooPeaToo]

It's not the end, btw. Afterword confirms there'll be other volumes, just that there is a pause as it's the end of the main story, so will probably be next year.

[Sixth]

Turned out it is just copypasta ending from WN.

No one win.

[Soulwarfare42]

You still can laugh at Aqua shippers.

[WingedAccelerator]

Boring. Prolong the WN material and turn it into an LN, only to end the same way.

[Rinvelt]

Come on, people, we all knew that Konosuba is pure comedy, not a love comedy.
Personally I liked the way the main story ended, it was quite funny (which is the main point of Konosuba), so I was satisfied.
Now I'm just waiting for the after stories, hopefully releasing next year.

This is not the point, the point is that the author herself said she wanted to end the light novel in a DIFFERENT way than the web novel, and instead...

[Rinvelt]

I mean, I can understand people being disappointed that the ending is the same, but I was talking about the romance part, so doesn't change my point.

Though, if what you said is true, the author was lying, yeah, so that's bad.

Also, the author is a man, people should stop using "she".

Wasn't she a woman? I remember reading that the author was a woman...

[Rinvelt]

^That's people spreading false info. Just search for an interview of the author, you'll see it's a man.

[Ruki0089]

Also, I believed that's his pen name, not his real name.
I have seen people spreading this false info everywhere. Especially on YouTube. There are a lot of smart-asses who claimed reading WN and LN yet doesn't know anything.
Author mentioned that this not ending of novel but the ending of main story. So, I believed the ending would be different.

[Diluc]

People salty are hillarious this comedy not romantic comedy of course is not going to end with this waifu win.
People should stop with this unwritten rule every LN / WN must end with harem ending or this girl win or that girl win ignoring theme and story of the series.

Yahari also suffers with this shit as well.

[wuhugm]

Someone must win at the end

And you shouldn't make such sweeping argument, but if insist doing so, at least use example that does not disprove your point. Because let's be honest Oregairu ending was clearly trainwreck.

[blitz1/2]

Did they reveal maou daughter yet?

[Rinvelt]

^No, it's planned to be in the after stories.

So why did the author even start baiting with romance if you can excuse everything with "Duh, it was a comedy LN!".

Two sources of salt are present as far as I'm aware and both are justified to some extent:
- Why involve romance, why drag the romantic side of the plot out, why dedicate volumes on the romantic side resolution, if you just blueball the readers in the end?
- Why the hell did it end the same way as the WN? By Volume 5, six of the eight Demon King Generals were known, sided with Kazuma or defeated. Considering the daughter of the Demon King is one of them, only one general got introduced in the next 12 volumes! Were those 12 volumes absolutely necessary additions? No. So it's not even that prolonging the LN this much served any real purpose. But when it's over, it's the same freaking ending as the WN.

[xeco]

I have read that there is a short after story that comes with the limited edition of final volume where its show that Megumin still won and Kazuma and she go on a date

Is that true?

And you shouldn't make such sweeping argument, but if insist doing so, at least use example that does not disprove your point. Because let's be honest Oregairu ending was clearly trainwreck.

Nah , the majority of people say that Oregairu ending is bad just because the mc did not end with their favorite girl

[Algester]

I mean let's also be honest konosuba is "far" from done its also a given that in the after stories Megumin and Kazuma are dating (there's doujins about it too)

and let's not get started with LN fan drama or it may just end up like OreImo's ending scandal

1.) because the nature of the story flowed into it. Kazuma is the only one who supported Megumin's love for Explosion magic. Of course she is going to reciprocate.

2.) because ultimately, Kazuma and the Demon Lord are still the same characters from the WN. Kazuma's party killed most of the generals, so the Demon Lord is coming after the ones responsible in Axel Town. Why would this be any different?
Even with a Megumin/Darkness romance subtext, it only encourages the same ending, where Kazuma loves this world for a variety of reasons and does not want to go back to Japan, even when given the opportunity after beating the Demon Lord.

Now use your head for a bit. Even with a romantic subtext, why would you expect Kazuma to suddenly pursue any romantic/sexual activities with Megumin or Darkness during or right after they were attacked by the Demon Lord? Are you going to be in the mood to go out with your partner during/right after your town gets bombed?
The Demon Lord attacking was only a matter of time. Are you suggesting that a romance with Megumin and/or Darkness would somehow change this plot point?

[kavinh]

Honestly the melodrama romance aspect was the worst part of the series for me.

Most of the risque scenes for the first half were mostly for comedic effect like megumin/kazuma being locked up being due to her mom being a gold digger by proxy.

None of the ships were really particularly good, so i'm ok with an opened ending. the kazumin shipping warfare got pretty obnoxious when volumes were dedicated melodrama about how to turn down another girl that liked him just cause kazuma has no guts.

1.) because the nature of the story flowed into it. Kazuma is the only one who supported Megumin's love for Explosion magic. Of course she is going to reciprocate.

none of it flowed into it naturally, you could've easily made the same argument for aqua being a leech off a rich slob in kazuma and enjoying their lives as a bickering couple and masocist darkness finding her perfect man in Kazuma.

There's nothing that made megumin have any more appeal other then presumably her being the most popular heroine. When the series clearly had no clear romantic pairing for the majority of it just a harem.

[Ruki0089]

Nobody win?
Short story after vol 17 epilogue already out.
Megumin officially Kazuma's lover. :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Nah , the majority of people say that Oregairu ending is bad just because the mc did not end with their favorite girl

And you are wrong about that. Only two girls had chance: Yukino and Yuigahama and noone really like Yui (well I like her but Yukino is better). Everyone just agree she (and everyone else who wasn't Yukino) were better choice given how much toxic that relationship is. Majority of people say Oregairu ending was bad because It simply was that bad. There is no really point of making excuses here.

To me it feels you just don't care how your waifu specifically wins as long as she does and just projecting yourself on others. Of course it's also possible you are just simply wrong even without projecting, but I doubt that's the case.


edit: As for this particular story of course people would complain too given author explicitly said he plans give it different ending and didn't deliver on his promise.

Lol , so tl;dr version of your comment : " you are wrong and I and all the others that agree with me are right"

At the end its just your opinion

[Ruki0089]

That's why it take place after vol 17.
Even he being kicked out. The mansion is on Kazuma's name. He could return anytime and just need police to take care of it. :heh:
The story itself confirm that Megumin and Kazuma officially dating.
But it's very short. It should be longer...

[Tenzen12]

Lol , so tl;dr version of your comment : " you are wrong and I and all the others that agree with me are right"

Opinion supported by solid argumets provided in both Konosuba and Oregairu treads. You in other hand just dismissed ANY argument by asuming bias, without even adressing single of them. That's Argumentum ad hominem, which is NOT argument at all.

Well, I too assume you are biased, based on you backward arguments, but that was NEVER part of MY argument. Argument was first paragraph, personal opinon about you second and I explicitly noted that as my impression.

[kuudererules]

Natsume Akatsuki teased on his twitter (https://twitter.com/akatsukioffici3/status/1259684826770096128) that his new KonoSuba work will be centering the male protagonist tentatively titled "Satou Kazuma's Counterattack" which likely sets in the future (after the FINAL volume.)
