KonoSuba – a shortcut for Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku Wo! – is a series about an antisocial deadbeat’s second chance in life as an adventurer in a new world that feels like the setting of a fantasy RPG, with stat systems, skill trees, boss battles, dungeons, and guilds for adventurers to receive quests.
Before landing in the new world, Kazuma had the chance to choose any powerful weapon or item to take with him as a perk. He chose Aqua, the goddess that had been teasing him about his embarrassing death in our world. Lacking money, weapons, and a place to stay, they find themselves living in a stable and doing blue-collar jobs for cash.
Their fate eventually turns around as they meet Megumin and Darkness, respectively a dangerous wizard and a noble knight, but it soon dawns on Kazuma that his three companions are all delusional wackos in different ways. Now, this mismatched party of four goes on crazy quests to gain money and experience, and eventually become strong enough to defeat the Demon King that has risen to terrorize the land.
At the outskirts of the Kingdom of Belzerg sits the city of Axel, a well-defended community that has retained its peace and prosperity from the Demon King’s rampage. It has come to be known as a starting city for new adventurers attracted to its quality of life. The abundance of low-tier monsters surrounding the settlement makes it quite easy for beginners to earn levels and cash easily.
Axel serves as KonoSuba’s primary setting – it is where Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua and Darkness reside. Some notable locations in Axel include the Adventurer Guild building, the gang’s stable, churches for Eris and Aqua, Wiz’s shop, a haunted mansion which they exorcise to use as their new home, and the Succubus café.
Our favorite Crimson Demon can often be seen hankering for hot meals and snacks at every opportunity. For the most part, this is a behaviour she’s adopted after being constantly malnourished throughout her childhood, when she would steal bread crusts and roast cicadas and “river lobsters” to feed herself and her sister Komekko.
Megumin’s family is revealed to be quite poor, explaining why the sisters had to scavenge so often for food. This is because their father, Hyoizaburoo, is a financial disaster. While he has a magic item shop, he makes items that are too expensive to make, too dangerous to sell, or simply useless. This means he sells everything at a discount, draining the family’s finances.
As an Arch-Healer who can neutralize undead threats in seconds, resurrect party members, and conjure forth floods, our brainless goddess does have her uses.
When Kazuma and others call her useless, their main issue is that Aqua tends to create more problems than she solves due to her short-sighted and impulsive nature. She is frequently blinded by easy money, not understanding the danger she encounters until she’s halfway through a monster’s digestive system.
With some foresight and restraint, Aqua can be a formidable party member, but as far as Kazuma is concerned, this is an unrealistic dream.
