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.
