Now that their wild escapades in Elroad have come to an end, Kazuma and the gang return safely to Belzerg. Kazuma figures that after celebrating their successes, he’ll be heading back to Axel… But when Iris says she wants to live together, how can he say no to that!?

Following in the footsteps of the Silver-Haired Thief Gang she so admires, Megumin has founded a thief gang of her own! So far, she’s got a girl with no friends, a misfit Axis priestess, a princess in an unconvincing disguise, and a proper thief on board, and after quite a bit of frivolity, the time has finally come to take on their first job! How will this unlikely team of thieves handle themselves under pressure?

Yearning to follow in the footsteps of the silver-haired girl she met at the Eris Festival, Megumin decides to form her own band of thieves! She soon attracts several like-minded allies, but considering her nature, perhaps that's not such a good thing...

My name is...One year before a certain useless goddess and NEET extraordinaire hit the scene, Megumin, the "Greatest Genius of the Crimson Magic Clan," is hard at work. Ever since a life-changing encounter in her youth, the young wizard has dedicated her every waking moment to the pursuit of the ultimate offensive magic, Explosion! (Well...every moment not spent hustling food from her self-proclaimed rival.) And while the big sister's away, the little one will play. On a routine trip into the woods, Megumin's little sister, Komekko, finds a strange black kitten. Little does she know that this cat plays a key role in unsealing a Dark God's tomb...

After pulling off her first heist with the thieves she so admired, Megumin settles down and goes back to being a normal member of Kazuma’s party. Yet somehow, she finds herself dragging Yunyun to the castle where “Illis” (aka Princess Iris) resides. Ostensibly, she's come to invite Iris on an adventure... but what are her true intentions?!

Megumin’s adorable little sister, Komekko, has arrived in Axel! Her fellow Crimson Magic Clan members Funifura and Dodonko are along for the ride as well, and before they know it, they wind up right in front of Kazuma’s party. Komekko attempts to explain her situation, telling the group that her house...blew up? Sounds like more trouble’s in store for Kazuma...

Luck be a lady tonight!Seeking financial support in the fight against the Demon King’s army, Princess Iris visits the neighboring nation of Elroad to meet the prince: her husband-to-be. But Kazuma won’t hand over his little sister to just anyone! Scratch that. He won’t hand her over, period!

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?”

ETERNAL LIFE CAN GET LONELY There’s a stalker on the loose! …Or so it would seem. Apparently, Wiz has been receiving a lot of attention from a mysterious man. After some eavesdropping reveals the terrifying extent of his knowledge about her, she receives a letter requesting they meet. And when she brings it to Vanir and Kazuma, Vanir gets unusually worked up and threatens to take action! This gives Wiz the push she needs to handle the issue herself…but it looks like someone has been filling her head with weird ideas. For starters, why is she acting like a blushing bride to be?!

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…!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!​Serena’s priestly prowess is making a splash in Axel! …Much to Aqua’s dismay. Is the town only big enough for one powerful priest? Does Axel not need its goddess anymore…? Yet unbeknownst to most, winning the affection of the masses ties into Serena’s master plan! While having many faithful followers suits her goals, her true prize is Kazuma Satou! If successfully enthralled, the greatest obstacle to the Demon King’s ambitions would finally be removed! At least, that was the hope…

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!

WHAT A LONG, STRANGE JOURNEY IT’S BEEN… “Just think. A boy from the weakest class, with no special abilities at all, defeating the Demon King. Doesn’t that sound way cooler?!” One mountain of manatite, one trigger-happy wizard, and one party of lovable lunatics make quick work of the barrier around the Demon King’s fortress. But just as they ready themselves to storm the castle proper, they run into Aqua—the person they were trying to rescue in the first place. Yet with their happy ending already in hand, Kazuma says the unthinkable: “How much do you think the bounty is on the Demon King?” And so, our gutless NEET finds himself on a collision course with the biggest baddie of all! Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness are going to need help from some very familiar faces to bring this world-renowned isekai comedy to a satisfying conclusion!

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?!

Lady Aqua, Control Your Followers!With the ultimate offensive magic finally under her belt, Megumin is off to Axel Town to start her adventure, and nothing will stand in her way! ...Except poverty. A trip from the local Teleportation Station isn't cheap, and the closest it can get her to Axel is Arcanletia, the city of water and hot springs. It looks like Megumin's got her (part-time) work cut out for her. Thankfully, she can look forward to help from Yunyun-as well as a certain sect of devout lunatics!

A GREAT ADVENTURE STARTS OFF WITH A BANG!...AND A WHIMPER.Axel-a town where many would-be legends find their humble beginnings. It is here that the Crimson Magic duo endeavor to leave their mark on the world...but the only kind of mark Megumin can leave is a giant, smoking crater. And most parties simply don't have room for a wizard limited to one excessively powerful Explosion per day. Sadly, Yunyun isn't doing any better. Every party-request flyer she posts reeks of desperation, and her self-confidence bar is in the red! Will no one take a chance on these poor problem children?!

Someone's stolen Megumin's heart!Enamored with a supercool masked man from the Silver-Haired Thief Brigade and captivated by the group's outlaw lifestyle, the Arch-wizard resolves to form her own crew of bandits to support her newfound idols. Unfortunately, her "thieves" are problem children all around: a girl who can't make friends, a super-overpowered princess, and a priestess with questionable morals. Can the explosion-obsessed leader of this band of unlikely burglars pull things together when real trouble strikes?
