Overview

Konosuba is a multimedia franchise represented in Volluble by 29 connected works across 5 media categories. This hub organizes the franchise by release chronology and gives newcomers a clear starting point.

Synopsis

After dying an embarrassingly anticlimactic death, shut-in teenager Kazuma Satou is given the chance to start over in a fantasy world by the goddess Aqua. When she mocks him, Kazuma chooses Aqua herself as the one thing he can bring with him, only to discover that she is far less useful than expected. The pair soon form an unconventional adventuring party with Megumin, an explosion-obsessed archwizard who can cast only one spell per day, and Darkness, a powerful crusader whose unusual enthusiasm for taking damage makes her unreliable in battle. Together, they take on quests, monsters, and threats connected to the Demon King's forces, usually creating just as many problems as they solve.
