Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, Vol. 9

Crimson Fate

By: Natsume Akatsuki, Kurone Mishima, Kevin Steinbach - translator

Narrated by: Arnie Pantoja, Erica Mendez

A fateful encounter!In its endless war against the Demon King’s army, the capital faces a new crisis in the form of the enemy’s latest general—the dark god Wolbach. When Magumin learns of Wolbach’s approach, she drags Kazuma (against his will) to a fortress just on the edge of the front line so they can mount a defense. But to their horror, they discover that Wolbach is also a user of Explosion magic! Just what is this Explosion master’s relationship to Megumin..? And what could she possibly want with Chomusuke?!

Great ninth volume!

The humor and the characters keep been one of the best in the entire isekai genre. This volume introduces a new Devik King's General who shares a surprising connection with Megumin's past, adding depth to both her story and character. At the same time, the romantic relationship between Kazuma and Megumin takes a noticeable step forward. The voice cast is still perfect, and if there's anything to complain about, it's that we’re already reaching the halfway point of this 18-volume series.

Chomusuke is Best Girl

Yet another excellent release with plenty of explosions and hijinks. I'm looking forward to seeing Chomusuke grow up.

Great!

Very fun book series! I hear there is an anime of it, I should check it out!

Both hilarious & emotional!

This volume really feels like peak Konosuba!

We get a healthy balance of hilarious moments and rare emotional developments! It’s really hard to pick an OTP when both heroines are such a perfect fit for our main. Well… Aqua is best girl in my heart, but we all know she’s not in that race.

The action was both epic and hysterical. It’s always satisfying to see the gang fumble their way to success!

Props to Arnie and Erica for their consistently fantastic performances! Can’t wait for the next one!
