KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! is a series of light novels that has been adapted into a manga and an anime.

After his accidental death, the main character Kazuma is offered a chance to reincarnate to another world, where a hero is needed to defeat the evil Demon King. Kazuma is allowed to take one special thing with him, and he chooses the person making him the offer - the goddess Aqua.

So Kazuma and Aqua find themselves in a world that functions just like a roleplaying game, two among many hopeful low-level adventurers doing quests for money and XP. Soon two new girls join in, making for an adventuring party of four.


 * Affectionate Parody: Of roleplaying games.
 * An Adventurer Is You
 * Kazuma: The Jack of All Trades.
 * Aqua: The Healer.
 * Megumin: The Nuker.
 * Darkness: The Tank.
 * Area of Effect: Megumin's Explosion spell.
 * Belligerent Sexual Tension: Between Kazuma and Aqua.
 * Black and White Magic: Embodied by Megumin the Arch-Wizard and Aqua the Arch-Priest.
 * Black Mage: Megumin. She specializes in explosions.
 * Cast from Hit Points: Megumin's explosion spell apparently works that way. It is possible though that the spell simply takes more mana than a low-level character can have and the cost overflows to hitpoints.
 * Character Level
 * The Comically Serious: Megumin. She is very serious about explosions.
 * Crater Power: Megumin's explosions leave big craters. Not bad for a level 1 character.
 * Crippling Overspecialization: Affects everyone except Kazuma.
 * Curse: Darkness gets hit by a curse that leaves her only a week to live.
 * Ecchi
 * Elemental Powers: Fire, water, earth, and air are the basic elements. Holy also seems to exist. Chances are that Megumin's Explosion spell deals non-elemental damage and that's one of the reasons she chose to specialize in it.
 * Experience Points: Gained by killing monsters.
 * Eyepatch of Power: Megumin has one.
 * Glass Cannon: Megumin can cast a high-level explosion spell... once per day, and then she is useless afterward. She refuses to put her skillpoints into anything that doesn't make her one spell better.
 * Job System
 * Level Grinding: Kazumi, Aqua, and Megumin grind on giant frogs.
 * Luck Stat: Kazumi's Luck is remarkably high while all his other stats are strictly average. Conversely, Aqua has low Luck while most of her other stats are sky-high.
 * Making a Splash: Aqua is a goddess of water after all.
 * Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest
 * Master of None: The Adventurer job. Kazuma makes the most of it.
 * Min-Maxing: Megumin invests her all into being the best at explosions.
 * Darkness is built along those lines too, but she isn't actually trying to make herself powerful. In fact she wants to lose and be captured alive.
 * Nice Guy: Kazuma.
 * No Experience Points for Medic: The party chooses a quest involving undead just so that Aqua can use her Turn Undead ability and get some XP for once.
 * No Hero Discount: The characters have a chronic lack of money. Justified because adventurers are so common in this world.
 * Outside the Box Tactic: How Kazuma likes to solve things.
 * Point Build System: Characters get new points every time they level up.
 * The Red Mage: Kazuma builds his character this way.
 * RPG Mechanics Verse
 * Stone Wall: Darkness puts all her skillpoints each level on improving her armor. This leaves nothing for improving her attack - or anything else for that matter.
 * Support Party Member: Aqua's only real offensive ability is Turn Undead.
 * Turn Undead: Aqua's special ability.
 * Video Game Stealing: The Steal skill steals a random item from the target. Kazuma learned the skill and to date has managed to steal Kazuma's extraordinarily high Luck Stat helps a lot here.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: The demon general is vulnerable to It doesn't kill him outright, but every little bit helps.
 * White Mage: Aqua.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: Darkness seems to think she lives in a hentai manga.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Aqua's hair is blue.
