Title: "Konosuba: Vol. 2 - More Laughs, More Chaos, More Fun!"
Review:
In the uproarious realm of isekai adventures, "Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" stands tall as a beacon of comedic brilliance, and its second manga volume keeps the laughter flowing without missing a beat.
From the moment you crack open the pages, you're whisked away to a fantastical world filled with quirky characters and absurd situations. Our lovable band of misfits—Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness—continue their hilariously inept quest to defeat the Devil King, and with each chapter, the chaos only escalates.
What truly sets "Konosuba" apart is its irreverent humor and expertly crafted character dynamics. Kazuma's deadpan reactions to the absurdity around him serve as the perfect foil to Aqua's divine incompetence, Megumin's explosive enthusiasm, and Darkness's masochistic tendencies. Their interactions never fail to elicit genuine laughs, and Vol. 2 is packed with memorable moments that will leave you in stitches.
The artwork perfectly captures the wacky spirit of the series, with expressive characters and dynamic action scenes that leap off the page. Whether it's Aqua's exaggerated expressions of indignation or Megumin's dramatic spellcasting, every panel is bursting with energy and personality.
While "Konosuba" thrives on its comedic antics, it also weaves in moments of surprising heart and camaraderie. Amidst the chaos and absurdity, there are genuine bonds forming between the characters, making their journey feel all the more meaningful.
In conclusion, "Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Vol. 2" is a riotous continuation of an already stellar series. With its uproarious humor, endearing characters, and expertly crafted storytelling, it's a must-read for any fan of comedy or fantasy. So grab your adventurer's gear, prepare for mayhem, and dive into the delightful world of "Konosuba"!

Three and a half, four for a comedy.
I usually wrote my reviews in the office during moments in which I didn't have much to do. Now that I'm temporarily unemployed, I can't be arsed to produce four and a half thousand words long reviews anymore. That is combined with the fact that I'm having a hard time remembering what happened in this volume and in what order (I have to rely on an online outline), but in any case it encompasses what remained of the first season of the anime adaptation.
Our fantasy world party of lovable idiots, led by a scumbag who died on Earth and was given the choice to be put into a fantasy world while bringing along a powerful "thing" in order to restore the balance of that world, went through a few ludicrous adventures of sorts back in the first volume that culminated with them killing a general of the bad guy's army. They were awarded millions for it, which prompted the protagonist to want to quit adventuring and just live a life of leisure from then on, but they were informed by their guild that because of the magic they produced they had ended up destroying plenty of buildings, and they were expected to contribute to the rebuilding efforts, which put them in serious debt.
Winter has come (it's a shame that I can't say that anymore without being reminded of how awful "Game of Thrones" became) and nobody ventures out from the starter town to quest, but the protagonist's party needs cash, so they figure that they might as well hunt some snow sprites. Everything goes quite well until the spirit that guarded them comes out. It's basically unkillable for their power level; the rest of the party bow their heads to avoid triggering the monster's ire, but the protagonist fails to do that properly. The monster beheads him.
Next thing he knows he's in limbo, except that the goddess facing him is a different one: Eris, the local deity that had become synonimous with money. She's a beautiful, poised girl who seems full of compassion, and the protagonist is smitten, particularly after his experience with his half-deranged female party members. She offers him to be reborn back in Japan. At first the protagonist is eager to leave that fantasy world full of hardships, but when he understands he will never see his party members again, he starts crying. He realizes that he had grown much fonder of them than he knew. Meanwhile, Aqua, his arch-priest/goddess, is resurrecting him through magical means. She manages to speak to him and argues with her competing goddess to bend the rules and bring the protagonist back to the fantasy world. Eris has previous experience with Aqua's stubbornness, and gives in. The protagonist wakes up in an unbeheaded body, with his wizard and paladin clinging to him and crying their eyes out.
One would have thought that such a genuine display of care for his person would have changed the protagonist's demeanour towards his party, but it doesn't. If anything, having met a "proper" goddess highlighted the ungodliness of his arch-priest. When a drunken punk adventurer mocks him for being babysat by higher class adventurers who are also women, the protagonist offers the punk to switch parties for a day. This is completely absent from the anime adaptation, which creates all kinds of logistical problems from now on: the protagonist meets not only that punk but also his party members, who end up popping up in various situations later. In the anime adaptation they are merged with other characters, or their words are given to more prominent characters. In any case, the protagonist, who has the most basic class, ventures out with a new party to hunt some damn goblins. The basic adventurer class the protagonist is stuck in doesn't allow him to pick advanced skills, but he can learn skills from any class, which can turn him into a generalist. Along the way he uses his skills to ambush, sense foes, create ice traps in which some goblins slip and fall, and creates some earth and throws it on the eyes of a high level beast they cannot fight, which grants the party enough time to run away. The other party members aren't dead weights by any means, but they are specialists in their narrow careers, and if they lack a rogue or an ice mage, for example, they cannot approach those solutions. In the end they appreciate the protagonist's contribution, and they consider him a friend from now on. The punk adventurer returns from his outing with the protagonist's party, but he's defeated: without the protagonist his party members don't work together well, which is to be expected given that one is a delusional goddess, another a wizard who can only throw a explosion a day and then collapses, and the remaining person is a masochistic paladin who can't hit anything.
This sequence is a bit more wish fulfillment-y than what I would have expected from this series (in which things usually just don't end well for the protagonist, or at least have big "yes, but" conclusions). However, its disappearance from the adaptation created numerous problems, as those four missing characters are never reintroduced.
The protagonist decides to raid by himself, without the backing of any guild quest, a starter dungeon. Aqua, however, forces herself in, and soon she becomes useful, as she can turn undead and they meet plenty along the way. In the depths of the dungeon they end up meeting a lich, which is a very powerful undead with necromantic power. However, in life he was the arch-wizard of some foreign kingdom who eloped with one of the king's concubines, ended up fighting their entire army, received a mortal wound and decided to turn himself into a lich to keep protecting his beloved. His wife has long passed away, and now the guy asks party goddess Aqua to please send him to heaven or wherever. In a touching sequence he's sent away, and our protagonists feel pretty pleased about the situation, until they realize that they have been incessantly accosted by undead because they are attracted to the goddess, so if the protagonist had come by himself he would have been fine.
In any case, they pay a visit to the magic shop of a lich they had met in the previous volume. Aqua, being a goddess and therefore mortal enemy of any undead, keeps the poor shy lich on her toes. In there they learn that some local mansion has become infested with spirits, and the owner offers the protagonist's party to stay there as long as they can cleanse the place. Figuring that Aqua can do it without trouble, they move in. In the middle of the night, both the protagonist and his party wizard get pursued by a couple dozen posessed dolls, which promote some character development between the protagonist and the fourteen year old wizard, who at one point gets dragged away forcefully as she was taking a piss. In the end Aqua does unhaunt the place, and the owner of the mansion decides to allow them to keep living there until the property value goes up again. Success. When they go back to the guild house to claim the reward, they learn that the issues the town has had recently with wandering ghosts was due to Aqua herself having erected a magical barrier on the graveyard so the lich wouldn't go in and send the ghosts to the afterlife herself; in the process Aqua had prevented the ghosts from resting, therefore causing the trouble to begin with.
Next, the protagonist wanders through town only to come across a couple of guys from that other party he quested with earlier on this volume. They are doing a poor job at not being shady. They fill the protagonist in on a little shop they've learned about: it's a establishment run by succubi, who despite being monsters have formed a symbiotic relationship with the local men. In exchange for a bit of the involved men's vitality, the succubi give them lucid erotic dreams featuring agreed upon elements. The protagonist is eager to try it, and signs a contract for one of those succubi to come visit him at the mansion that night. When he comes back to the mansion, turns out their paladin has prepared a feast with some luxurious foods her family sent (a bit of foreshadowing for a following revelation regarding Darkness' lineage). The protagonist doesn't want to eat too much nor drink alcohol in case he won't fall asleep, but he does anyway. Later, he rolls around in bed unable to fall asleep, so he decides to take a bath. There he dozes off. He comes to his senses because someone else has entered that big bathroom naked: it's Darkness, his party paladin. By the time she realizes he's there, he's had the chance to drink in her voluptuous attributes. He figures that no way that such a situation would happen in real life, so this must be the dream the succubus produced. He stands up buck naked and orders Darkness to scrub his back. They have a back and forth between a person who believes he's talking to a figment of his imagination, and a girl with a submissive fetish who gets turned on by humiliation.
In the end, a commotion interrupts them, and the protagonist, angry, runs out wearing just a towel to figure out what's the issue. Party arch-priest and arch-wizard have cornered a succubus, who had become tangled with the magical barrier surrounding the mansion and that Aqua had set up. They intend to kill the succubus girl, because she's a monster after all. The protagonist, however, can't bear to see killed such a sweet girl whose life purpose was to give comfort to lonely men, and he stands between his party members and the succubus. As his female party members beat the protagonist up, the succubus escapes. One would have thought that Darkness would have embraced such a lewd situation, but she's regrets the whole thing.
This volume's serious threat is that the legendary Mobile Fortress Destroyer is approaching our protagonist's town. The thing is a spider-like, tall as a building automated fortress that for a long time has rampaged around destroying towns, and as nobody has been able to stop it, it's considered a natural disaster. Although his party members are packing to flee the town, the protagonist refuses to just give up (mainly because he doesn't actually know how dangerous that thing is). The whole town decides to make a stand. Pressured by other adventurers to figure out how to deal with this threat (given that the protagonist is an accomplished generalist), he figures that his party goddess Aqua will break the magical barrier surrounding the fortress, and then both the local lich Wiz and his party wizard Megumin will blow up the fortress' spider legs. Then, all the adventurers will climb to the upper levels of the fortress, kill the golems defending it, and stop the menace.
It's mostly a smooth ride until they find the skeleton of the guy who was supposed to be guiding the fortress. He died a long time ago. He had never intended to build the thing but was pressured into it, they procured him the ludicrous materials although he never believed they would be able to gather them, and in the end the fortress became automated somehow and not even its creator could control it. After the fortress destroyed it's original nation, it ventured out to ruin anything in its path. The group figures that they need to take out the fortress' magical heart, but they won't have time to move it somewhere safe. They can only send it somewhere semirandom through a teleport spell. The protagonist takes full responsibility, and figures that with his luck being so high, the bomb-like heart will land in a remote uninhabited place.
With the heart out of the way, Megumin, having regained mana thanks to one of the protagonist's recently learned spells, blows up the remains of the mobile fortress. It should be a time for celebration, but next thing the protagonist knows, an government envoy and some knights come to arrest him: the fortress' heart was teleported to a lord's mansion. Although the lord and his stuff had been evacuated due to the incoming threat, the explosion destroyed the building. The local government intends to process the protagonist for sedition.
The biggest change in this sequence is that in the original, party paladin Darkness did nothing at all but stand as the last line of defense. She doesn't contribute to boarding the fortress. The anime adaptation made her be less useless by spearheading the assault on the fortress, and giving that morale push to the local adventurers to follow her into the menace.
A very fun volume as usual, but for a while I'll have to leave this series aside, because the translation of volume fourteen of Re:Zero has finally been released.
In addition, this is a video review by internet anime guy Gigguk on this series, without giving away anything significant of incoming volumes.

Après avoir lu le premier tome et avoir fortement apprécié ma lecture, je me suis précipitée sur la suite. Et je dois avouer que j’ai encore plus aimé ce second tome. Il se passe beaucoup plus de choses, du moins il y a un plus d’action dans ce tome ci et c’est très appréciable. C’est toujours aussi frais et drôle à lire. Un vrai régal ce genre de manga. On a un peu de fan service mais c’est très léger et ce n’est pas dérangeant plus que ça pour tout avouer. J’ai déjà hâte de découvrir la suite tant ce tome ci m’a plu!
Dans ce second tome, on retrouve Kazuma toujours dans ce nouveau monde après sa réincarnation. Il profite de sa nouvelle vie aux côtés de Aqua qu’il surnomme la bonne à rien, Megumin experte en explosion et Darkness, une femme chevalier croisée. Bien qu’il soit bien entouré, son groupe est un véritable groupe de bras cassé. Elles ne sont pas très douées et se retrouvent très vite dans des situations disons le, particulière. Ils vont accomplir des quêtes pour pouvoir gagner de l’argent et surtout pour Kazuma, se la couler douce! Ils vont donc dans un lac infesté de Brutalligators afin de progresser dans le rang d’Aventurier. Cependant un jour, le général du roi démon fait son apparition et il est très en colère à cause des sorts d’explosion de Megumin..
J’ai vraiment adoré ce manga surtout la dernière partie avec l’arrivée du général du roi démon. On avait vraiment le côté action sans trop d’humour, enfin je veux dire une scène avec un grand sérieux comparé à d’autres où l’humour est très présent. Ce combat était plutôt chouette à lire. Kazuma a réussi à le combattre grâce à tout le monde et leur entraide. Enfin la finalité revient quand même à Aqua. Mais au final on se rend compte que c’est une bras cassée avec ce qu’elle a fait. Mais bon au moins ils ont réussis à le combattre! La fin est hyper intéressante également lorsqu’ils vont dans les montagnes pour battre les esprits de neige. Enfin ce n’est pas tant cette quête qui est intéressante, c’est surtout ce qui en découle. Je sens que la suite va être tout aussi plaisante à lire.
Bien qu’on ai un schéma un peu répétitif dans cette histoire, le fait qu’ils font des quêtes différentes etc, c’est quand même une histoire assez captivante. J’adore le groupe qu’ils forment entre Kazuma, Aqua qui se met toujours dans la mouise, Megumin qui devient amorphe après avoir lancé son sort d’explosion et qu’ils sont obligé de la porter tant elle ne sait plus bouger ou encore Darkness qui a parfois des envies particulières.. Y’a pas à dire ces trois là forment un sacré groupe. L’humour est très présent et ça c’est super agréable. Je n’ai plus qu’à lire le troisième tome maintenant!

I watched the anime a little while ago and absolutely adored it, so I decided to give the manga a read. I enjoyed it maybe a bit more than the anime, except the comedy is done better through animation and voice acting. If you watched the anime this is still worth reading.
Art: The art is really clean and expressive. It has almost a mix of shoujo and shonen. I do like the style because everything looks very nice. The backgrounds are pretty good too. It feels like effort went into the art.
Character: I love the cast. I found Aqua quite enjoyable here, she really steals the show. While the cast mostly serve gags, the gags like in the anime are quite good. It's usually not too excessive. But most of the dialouge Megumin and Darkness say are just for gags. I do think since it's harder to write jokes in comics than animation, the characters aren't as humorous. But it still works. I also like how the world feels more lived in with the side characters.
Story: It's very simple, but I found myself enjoying it more here. There's no dev or morals it's basically just comic junk food. But the presentation of the junk food is good. The pace is quicker, besides the fight with dullahan. It drags on for too many chapters, unlike the other plots. Also I do think it was done better comedy wise in the anime. But there feels to be more of a fantasy element here, in the anime the world didn't feel to lived in, and they focused more on comedy. Here while it's the best worldbuilding there's still a bit more substance. So if you want comedy go to the anime, but if you want substance check out the manga. The story's not the best but the parody elements and characters really hold it up. I had fun seeing this loveable band again.
It's a very simple volume but an enjoyable one.

Story: It's very simple, but I found myself enjoying it more here. There's no dev or morals it's basically just comic junk food. But the presentation of the junk food is good. The pace is quicker, besides the fight with dullahan. It drags on for too many chapters, unlike the other plots. Also I do think it was done better comedy wise in the anime. But there feels to be more of a fantasy element here, in the anime the world didn't feel to lived in, and they focused more on comedy. Here while it's the best worldbuilding there's still a bit more substance. So if you want comedy go to the anime, but if you want substance check out the manga. The story's not the best but the parody elements and characters really hold it up. I had fun seeing this loveable band again.
It's a very simple volume but an enjoyable one.

Konosuba 2: or teabagging a goddess. This is the volume that takes the story further along than I remember from my viewing of the anime. In this there’s a hilarious opening segment where aqua is put in the cage and use to purify the water with a lot of silly implications. Probably my favorite scene from the anime. I like the main character is a bit of a scumbag in some respects. It adds character to it would otherwise be a very generic protagonist. Otherwise I enjoyed the little story segments and how the group eventually deals with a dullahan monster guy who shows up. It’s a touch of more serious fantasy fighting but it’s still a little bit goofy in the style this series does well. Another favorite segment of mine is when they’re confronted with an actual honorable hero and they basically screw them over. I love the subversive qualities of the series. Four once a day explosions out of five.

⭐ Manga Review — KonoSuba Vol. 2
Rating: 4.5/5
Kazuma’s chaotic party is back — and the laughs are even bigger! 😂
In KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Vol. 2, Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness tackle new quests, slimy monsters, and a certain angry Dullahan. 💀💥 The result? Pure, ridiculous magic.
The humor stays sharp, the expressions are priceless, and the group’s chemistry is as explosive as Megumin’s spells. While some jokes repeat, the charm and comedic timing totally make up for it.
It’s not just an isekai — it’s a full-blown fantasy sitcom that never takes itself too seriously. A must-read for fans of chaos, comedy, and lovable idiots. ⚡

Cute second volume. I like that the plot is essentially really simple and the characters are growing. I am a little sad we don't have any bonus material in this series, but we do get a few color pages at the beginning so that is not too bad.
The pacing of this volume was good and it had a good ending. Looking forward to the next volume.

Well . . . this was a significant improvement on volume 1. The story was clearer and some of the humor worked. Maybe, seven volumes won't be a curse after all.

A solid sequel in this series! I’m interested to see how the story progresses from here on out and what shenanigans these characters get into next.

Du fan-service assez irritant (un peu agacée de voir toujours des gags autour des culottes, soutien-gorges et de mettre les personnages féminins dans des situations malaisantes) mais par contre, l'intrigue est toujours aussi bien et prenante !

Kazuma’s Bizarre Adventures
Konosuba volume 2 continues Kazuma’s grand adventure on his quest to live a comfortable life in a world where he must defeat the demon king. Continuing the adaptation of the light novel and also doing it own thing. While the light novel and the anime are very similar minus few changes and cuts. The manga does its own thing and changes the jokes and adds some few extras. The scene where kazuma locks aqua in a cage to purify the lake is executed differently than in the anime and light novel. It’s those changes to the same story but with a different execution is making this manga a real treat to read. It’s faster pace than the anime and novel. The art is this cutesy chibish style but not quite. As a fan of Konosuba it’s good the changes made and the few extra stuff they added fit Konosuba.
Would I recommend konosuba second volume? Absolutely very funny very enjoyable. I’ve seen the story three times and in three different media’s and I’m still not fatigued. Best isekai hands down l! 10 beheaded Kazumas out of 10 go read go watch the anime it’s fantastic.

The anime and manga are really close together.
