Crimson Magic Clan members Megumin and Yunyun are at the top of their class, but they still have a lot to learn. Yunyun's begun learning advanced magic, but Megumin has gone down a different path-the path of explosion magic! Despite being warned of its limited usefulness, Megumin believes explosion magic is the way for her to become a great, voluptuous wizard, and she won't be convinced otherwise!

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!

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?

The ultimate magic... explosion! Pushing aside her hometown's teachings, Megumin, the genius mage of Crimson Magic Village, sets her sights on the raw destructive power of explosion magic. But when she arrives home with Yunyun to find Komekko, her little sister, surrounded by monsters, she's faced with a tough choice. Will she give up on explosion magic and spend her precious skill points on advanced magic in order to save her sister? And what has that strange cat got to do with all this?

Game loving shut-in Kazuma Sato's life as a young schoolboy in Japan abruptly comes to an early end...or at least it was supposed to. When he opens his eyes, though, he sees a beautiful goddess that offers him a once in an after-lifetime chance to be reborn in a parallel world. The catch is that the world is violent and threatened by a growing evil! Fortunately, he can choose any one thing to bring with him. So he chooses the goddess, Aqua! And so his adventure with his gorgeous companion begins--if he could just get enough money and food to survive, keep his goddess out of trouble, and avoid grabbing the attention of the Demon King's army!

Kazuma's first winter in another world isn't going so well. With companions like Aqua (Arch-priest), Megumin (Arch-wizard), and Darkness (Crusader), his party of advanced classes should be the most powerful in Axel--but they're so dysfunctional, even the easiest-seeming quest goes terribly awry, and they can barely save enough to afford a stable! When an opportunity arises to stay in a mansion, it's like a dream come true--the only catch is that they have to exorcise the evil spirits haunting it. Goddess Aqua is an expert with the undead, so the quest should be a piece of cake, right...? Unfortunately, with this useless goddess, things have a way of working out for the worst...

Out of nowhere, devout followers decide to throw an "Aqua Festival" and Kazuma gets dragged into helping out. At the same time, Chris asks for Kazuma's help with a festival of her own. While all this is going on, Chris also ropes Kazuma into infiltrating a mansion to recover the Sacred Treasure, the "Talking Armor." Between helping out with two different festivals and tracking down another Sacred Treasure, can Kazuma catch a break...?
