Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! GN 1 Review – ANN

They say that life doesn't always work out the way you planned. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but other times, not so much. Kazuma Sato falls into the latter category courtesy of a fate with a rotten sense of humor. Normally a teenage shut-in, Kazuma dared to venture outside in order to get the newest limited edition game. Unfortunately, that results in his untimely (and totally embarrassing) death when he mistakes a slow-moving tractor for a truck bearing down on a girl. After promptly dying of fright after “saving” her, Kazuma finds himself in a portal to the afterlife, where a goddess named Aqua tells him that he now has a choice: he could be reborn, or he could take advantage of her very generous offer to be fully revived at his present age in a parallel fantasy world. As added incentive, he can take whatever he wants with him. There is a catch, of course – the world is in need of a larger population because a Devil King has been laying waste to it. But just think, a new life as a fantasy hero!
