Life doesn't always go smoothly. That's what Kazuma, the main character of KonoSuba!, taught us. When you think of reincarnation stories, the characters go on exhilarating adventures using unparalleled talent and skills, but KonoSuba! is different. It's endlessly realistic and endlessly comical. We'll be introducing you to KonoSuba!.
KonoSuba! A brief explanation of KonoSuba!
KonoSuba! is about the protagonist Kazuma, a shut-in with no girlfriend or friends in the real world. He dies saving a girl from being hit by a truck while out trying to get a limited-edition first-edition game.
However, this was just Kazuma's misunderstanding. In reality, if Kazuma hadn't pushed him with the tractor, he wouldn't have been injured and it would have stopped short.
Kazuma's cause of death was shock, caused by a misunderstanding that he had been hit by a truck. It's hilarious, isn't it?
The protagonist was delusional, thinking he was about to be hit, and he suffered incontinence and heart failure, dying a laughing stock around him.
The story is about this protagonist being reincarnated into another world.
It may be a cliched premise, but there's a reason KonoSuba! is more popular than other reincarnation stories. Normally, one gains cheat abilities or weapons upon reincarnation, but the protagonist takes with him the goddess who will reincarnate him. This is the cute, silly goddess Aqua. After being laughed at so much, Kazuma decides to take Aqua along with him.
The main story of this anime is about defeating the Demon King with the cute, silly goddess Aqua. Unless the Demon King is defeated, Aqua cannot return to heaven. It's unclear what will happen to Kazuma after defeating the Demon King, but in any case, this is how their adventure begins.
Kazuma and Aqua, penniless, cast a gloomy shadow at the edge of the dining area.
Adventures often begin in a family, or you receive items and money from the king that will help you on your adventure, but this world doesn't have such things. They couldn't even earn money by registering as adventurers with the guild, as they needed money to register with the guild.
Kazuma and Aqua stumbled on the first day of their adventure and sat gloomily at the edge of the dining area.
Thanks to the kindness of an old man who worships the Junior Goddess, Kazuma and Aqua were able to obtain the guild registration fee and thus register successfully.
Huh? What about adventure? Earning a living
I think the best part of living in another world is defeating monsters, receiving gratitude from villagers, and growing stronger through these experiences. In fact, in other reincarnation stories, characters accumulate such accomplishments and are fawned over by those around them. However, there's no such happy ending in KonoSuba!.
Kazuma and Aqua spend their days working part-time construction jobs.
The monsters around the village have been eradicated, so there's no need to ask others for gathering quests or other tasks.
Gather your companions and set out on an adventure into the world!
Aqua, the goddess who has mastered party tricks, has low intelligence but high other stats. Darkness, the masochist who became a Crusader because she was being attacked by monsters. Megumin, the genius who can only use the ultimate explosive magic once a day.
Kazuma and the girls embark on an adventure filled with gags, laughter, and maybe even tears.
The characters' quirks are so unique that you'll never get bored, making it a breeze to watch.
Summary
From the very beginning, the protagonist Kazuma's life is plagued by misfortune.
A shocking death leaves him penniless, and he works part-time construction jobs...
Kazuma's only saving grace may be that it's a harem story. However, her companions Megumin, Darkness, and Aqua will suffer terribly in the future.
