GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS POPULAR NEET!There's a new girl in town! And for some reason, she keeps calling Darkness "Mama." Surely there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that...right? Meanwhile, Darkness has taxes to collect! It's time for the high-income adventurers to pay their dues, and Kazuma's at the top of the list. Naturally, one night after a long game of Cat and Mouse: Tax Evasion Edition, they find themselves handcuffed together, and Darkness sees it as the perfect opportunity to ask Kazuma a burning question: "...Do you like Megumin?"

P.S. PLEASE LOOK FOR ME.With Serena’s sudden rise in popularity, Aqua’s insecurity sends her fleeing from town, leaving only a letter behind. If they no longer need their goddess, then Aqua won’t stay where she isn’t wanted! She’ll beat the Demon King by herself, save the world, and return to the heavenly realm! Little does she know, though, that the people of Axel are nothing without their beloved mascot—not that Kazuma plans to do anything about it. He’s only Level 1, after all. Oh, who is he kidding? With this latest development bringing him straight to the Demon King’s castle gates, it’s time for Kazuma to rally the troops, power-level like never before to awaken his hidden potential, and get his goddess back!

With the Iris Escort mission behind them, Kazuma and the gang relax in thelap of luxury at the Royal Palace, but it isn''t long before they receive anunexpected visitor. A wild Komekko appeared! They decide to look after her for awhile and bring her back to the mansion. But once she starts gushing about howamazing Axel''s adventurers are, they can''t resist the urge to flex and end upaccepting a rather troublesome quest from the adventurers guild...

The latest in a light novel series that follows a boy who is sent to a fantasy world after his death, forming a dysfunctional party with a goddess, a magician, and a crusader to fight against monsters. Illustrations.

Problem after problem keeps cropping up at the Undead Festival—Agent Ten gets busted for his nighttime activities in Tillis’s room, Snow gets roped into scamming innocent festival attendees, and Rose starts a new life as...an old man’s dog?! Grimm, as the festival’s organizer, is the only one of them trying to take things seriously for once, but all those issues are going to look like child’s play compared to the return from the dead of...someone Six didn’t really bother to remember!

After Wiz reveals her true identity and Vanir robs her blind, Dark PriestSelenanegotiates with Kazuma and promises not to let slip what sheΓÇÖsabout to do. But willthis set the city of Axel on a course for disaster yetagain?!

Agent Six’s squad, having failed to get their hands on the water fruit after an attack from the Sand King, are stuck wandering the desert. It’s looking bad—they’re running out of water, their capacity for rational thought is boiling away, their “survival instincts” are starting to go off the charts, and their useless necromancer is shriveling up into nothing. In the face of all that, can Six and the rest make it back from the desert alive…?!

HAIL TO THE CHIEF!It’s back to Crimson Magic Village for Kazuma’s party! Yunyun is about to undergo the Chief’s Trials, and it always helps to have friends close by. The challenge is one that steadily ramps up in difficulty, so it’s best attempted in pairs. But why is Yunyun so determined to become chief anyway? Could she possibly have an idea for sweeping village reform? In the meantime, reports are flooding in of loud explosions echoing through the night. Megumin is the prime suspect, of course, but Kazuma secretly knows she isn’t responsible…Why? Because he and Megumin were in bed together the whole time…!

CHAOS VERSUS ORDER.​After the Demon Lord Viper’s “selfdestruction,” relative peace returns to Hideout City. Now, Six and the others can turn their attention to more important matters—like how sexy their new recruit’s uniform is! But in no time at all, chaos descends yet again. The neighboring kingdom of Toris has come under the control of a new organization. When an agent of this mysterious entity starts stirring up trouble, Six and the others decide to respond the only way the Kisaragi Corporation knows how—with acts of villainy! The battle for total world domination is heating up, but will this new enemy be a match for everyone’s favorite evil organization?

Who Ya Gonna Call…?​Everyone’s favorite Crimson Magic wizard is back with a new series of odd jobs to endure…and each request is more self-centered than the last! This time around, there’s the classic frog hunt, another slime crisis involving Cecily and the Axis Church, and an encounter with a mysterious beast. Can Megumin, Yunyun, and Iris maintain their sanity while dealing with these deadbeats?!

YESTERDAY’S ENEMY IS TODAY’S PLAYER 2It’s been one week since the Demon Lord’s Army suffered an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Kisaragi Corporation, thanks in no small part to Lilith the Black. Now Six and the others have received a formal invitation to the Demon Lord’s Castle for peace talks, but could they be walking into a trap…? Meanwhile, the words “Demon Lord” immediately conjure up the image of some evil old geezer, so who is this beautiful woman supposed to be?!

"The right magic words can stir a person's soul. For Megumin, those words are "vigilante justice." Join everyone's favorite one-trick wizard, as well as Iris the Headstrong, Cecily the Problematic, and Yunyun...as they get a taste of the righteous bandit lifestyle! Evil aristocrats beware!"--

Agent Six's utterly unchivalrous tactics had been working wonders, but that all comes to an end when he and Alice are outed as spies and banished from the kingdom of Grace. How unfortunate that the Demon Army is preparing for all-out war at that very moment... Six might still be able to save his feckless former squadmates from certain doom-but only if he's willing to gain an unfortunate nickname in the process!

Megumin has arrived in Axel, and she's got a devil to defeat! Rumors abound of a powerful Arch-priest well versed in exorcism, and our resident Explosion expert intends to track her down! Meanwhile, Yunyun renews her desperate search for friends, but she's getting nowhere fast...It's the end of the beginning for these Crimson Magic adventurers as Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World comes to a fiery conclusion!

What happened to respecting the dead?!Combat Agent Six's latest mission from the Kisaragi Corporation is to fortify their base on the planet and expand their territory. There's just one problem: He had to requisition a Destroyer in their last epic battle, and now his Evil Point balance is in the negative. Again. He'll have to think up some nefarious schemes (or petty crimes, if we're being honest) to get those points back, and fast! Meanwhile, Grimm has her hands full running the annual Undead Festival. With responsibilities ranging from creating temporary vessels for dearly departed souls to interpreting conversation between them and their families, she'll need some help from Six to ensure everything goes smoothly. What could possibly go wrong...?

"Leaving Arcanletia and the Axis Church behind, Megumin and Yunyun hop on a wagon bound for Axel, where Megumin's role model awaits. It's going to be an even rougher ride than they expected, however, when monsters assault them at every turn! Is this just bad luck, or is there something more sinister at play...?"--Provided by publisher.

Megumin is the greatest wizard is the historyof the Crimson Magic Clan, no matter what anyone says! And she''s heading to thebig city to prove it! But traveling costs money, so it''s time for everyone''sfavorite Explosier to get a part-time job! ...Oh, and Yunyun tagsalong.
