Natsume Akatsuki Books

"Kazuma Sato is a video game-loving shut-in-or at least he was, until a humiliating traffic accident brings his young life to an untimely end. But after his death, a beautiful girl claiming to be a goddess invites him to enter another world and gain some respectable perks in the process. But Kazuma's choice is going to have serious consequences for the goddess and the dead man alike..." --

Agent Six's utterly unchivalrous tactics had been working wonders, but thatall comes to an end when he and Alice are outed as spies and banished from theKingdom of Grace. How unfortunate that the Demon Army is preparing for all-outwar at that very moment...

After their base blows up yet again, Six gets fed up with their complete lack of headway on the invasion and bends the truth just a teeeensy bit in his report by saying it's fully complete, tricking Kisaragi into sending Lilith, the smartest of the Supreme Leaders, to assist them in person. Now that she's on the job, they're sure to start making major progress...right?!

After Wiz reveals her true identity and Vanir robs her blind, Dark Priest Selena negotiates with Kazuma and promises not to let slip what she's about to do. But will this set the city of Axel on a course for disaster yet again?!

It's become clear that Lilith intends to take Agent Six back to Earth, leaving Alice behind on the planet, and Six isn't sure what to think. Meanwhile, the group takes one last job investigating a ruin, but it doesn't go as smoothly as they hoped...

A fateful encounter! In its endless war against the Demon King's army, the capital faces a new crisis in the form of the enemy's latest general-the dark god Wolbach. When Magumin learns of Wolbach's approach, she drags Kazuma (against his will) to a fortress just on the edge of the front line so they can mount a defense. But to their horror, they discover that Wolbach is also a user of Explosion magic! Just what is this Explosion master's relationship to Megumin..? And what could she possibly want with Chomusuke?!

Still sitting pretty on the reward money from defeating several of the Demon King's generals, Kazuma is taking it easy. Darkness, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. Just as rumors about Darkness leaving to marry a lord begin to circulate, a letter turns up."I can't see you anymore. Please accept my resignation from the party."Is this the beginning of the end for everyone's favorite band of misfit adventurers?!

Megumin has just arrived in Axel, and she's not alone Yunyun's along for the ride, and the woman who taught her Explosion Magic is in town too Naturally, it doesn't take long for our resident explosion expert to get herself into trouble...

One week after the Undead Festival, Six's latest fortress is blown sky high! In a fit of desperation, the squad decides to call in the big guns. Lilith, one of the Supreme Leaders herself, has joined the party! But in a crazy turn of events, Alice enters a rebellious phase! As every one of Lilith's demands gets shot down, it's all she can do not to burst into tears while Alice makes her feel like an idiot...

In the wake of the chaos wrought by Selena, Aqua runs away from home, leaving only a note behind...bearing a request to chase after her. With everyone's favorite mascot nowhere to be found, the whole of Axel descends into tumult. However, with Kazuma having reverted to level one, there isn't much he can do to help. That is, until Megumin drags him off to do some Giant Toad hunting and he gets a power up so crazy it's basically cheating. It's time to get off the couch and chase after that runaway goddess!

Death doesn't stop a video game-loving shut-in from going on adventures and fighting monsters!

The right magic words can stir a person's soul. For Megumin, those words are vigilante justice. Join everyone's favorite one-trick wizard, as well as Iris the Headstrong, Cecily the Problematic, and Yunyun...as they get a taste of the righteous bandit lifestyle! Evil aristocrats beware!--

Problem after problem keep cropping up at the Undead Festival--Snow gets taken in by a scam, and Rose starts a new life as an old man's dog?! Oh, and one of the Demon Lord's Elite Four, Gadalkand of the Earth, gets resurrected as an undead, but enough about that--did Six and Grimm really just promise to get married...?

I WANT A LITTLE SISTER! As Kazuma spends his downtime bemoaning his party's lack of a little-sister archetype, he's invited to a royal banquet, where he meets the young Princess Iris. She's enthralled by his tales of adventure, and once she takes a liking to him, Kazuma ends up getting transported to the royal castle! Though he's initially unsure of what to expect, life with Iris turns out to be a dream come true, and Kazuma doesn't ever want to wake up. . .so when he hears rumors of a "righteous thief" stalking the capital, Kazuma declares he'll be the one to capture the dastardly do-gooder!

Arcanletia is known for its hot springs, but perhaps even more for its devoted Axis Sect following, which is making Kazuma quite uneasy, and he's not alone. He'll need to get it together, though, because something is polluting the hot springs, and he needs all the relaxation he can get!

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...

IT'S TIME FOR REST, RELAXATION...AND RELIGION?! Kazuma and crew have made it through the winter in one piece (for the most part), and they're in dire need of a break...and for stressed and tired adventurers, there's only one place to go-the hot springs! With open-air baths and beautiful mountain scenery, Arcanletia has everything they need for a relaxing vacation. Not only that, but rumor has it the Demon King's army is avoiding the place. The reports also say it's because Aqua's Axis Church scared them off, but her loyal followers can't be that bad, right...?

YESTERDAY’S ENEMY IS TODAY’S PLAYER 2It’s been one week since the Demon Lord’s Army suffered an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Kisaragi Corporation, thanks in no small part to Lilith the Black. Now Six and the others have received a formal invitation to the Demon Lord’s Castle for peace talks, but could they be walking into a trap…? Meanwhile, the words “Demon Lord” immediately conjure up the image of some evil old geezer, so who is this beautiful woman supposed to be?!

MAY THE BEST GODDESS WIN! It's time once again for the annual Eris Appreciation Festival, and everyone in Axel Town is in high spirits... except Aqua. In her mind, it's totally unfair that Eris gets an entire festival thrown in her honor while she doesn't. So Aqua announces that she'll be having an Aqua Appreciation Festival at the same time, and both Kazuma and Chris get dragged into helping out. And once the festivities are underway, Chris also ropes Kazuma into helping her infiltrate a noble's mansion in pursuit of a new Sacred Treasure: a legendary suit of armor...that can talk?! Two festivals plus one mysterious suit of armor equals chaos for Kazuma, and it won't end until the whole town gets caught up in the madness!

Luck be a lady tonight!Seeking financial support in the fight against the Demon King's army, Princess Iris visits the neighboring nation of Elroad to meet the prince: her husband-to-be. But Kazuma won't hand over his little sister to just anyone! Scratch that. He won't hand her over, period! Posing as her escort, he tags along in an attempt to derail yet another wedding (and rake in the dough). But no sooner than they arrive in Elroad are they informed that the engagement is off, and there won't be any financial support at all! And so it falls to Kazuma to use his wit and insanely good Luck to milk the Casino Kingdom for all it's worth!

Death doesn't stop a video game-loving shut-in from going on adventures and fighting monsters!

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!

Number 6, a Combat Agent for the Kisaragi Secret Society, has been sent to a distant alien world on a reconaissance mission with his new android partner to plan an interstellar invasion of a fantasy world.

Leaving Arcanletia and the Axis Church behind, Megumin and Yunyun hop on a wagon bound for Axel, where Megumin's role model awaits. It's going to be an even rougher ride than they expected, however, when monsters assault them at every turn! Is this just bad luck, or is there something more sinister at play...?--Provided by publisher.

Story follows a boy who is sent to a fantasy world following his death, forming a dysfunctional party with a goddess, a magician, and a crusader to fight against monsters.

Before they ever met Kazuma and Aqua, Megumin and her sister Yunyun had a crisis of their own to deal with: a mysterious and dark shadow lurking toward the Crimson Magic Village. Can they overcome this ordeal in the second volume of this amazing KonoSuba spinoff.

One year before Kazuma and Aqua ever set foot in the world, Megumin, the self- proclaimed greatest wizard in the entire Crimson Magic Clan, struggles through school while devoting all her time and energy to her one true love: explosion magic--

Having parted with Iris, Kazuma's motivation for adventuring is at an all-time low. With tons of money and no worries, all he wants to do is relax for a while...but when Darkness starts going after random bounties like a woman obsessed, what's a guy to do?

It's back to Crimson Magic Village for Kazuma's party! Yunyun is about to undertake the chieftain's trial, and it always helps to have friends close by. The challenge is one that steadily ramps up in difficulty, so it's attempted in pairs. But why is Yunyun so determined to become chieftain, anyway? Could she possibly have an idea for sweeping village reform? In the meantime, reports are flooding in of loud explosions echoing through the night. Just who could be behind this disturbance? Kazuma might have an idea...

A Konosuba, God's blessing on this wonderful world spin-off!-- Cover.

Death doesn't stop a video game-loving shut-in from going on adventures and fighting monsters!

The Best-Girl Brigade is back with a series of odd jobs to suffer through! Will the self-centered requests ever end?! Probably not... This time around, we've got the ever-classic frog extermination mission, another slime crisis involving the Axis church, and an encounter with a mysterious beast. Can Megumin and co. make it through with their sanity intact...?

There's a new girl in town! And for some reason, she keeps calling Darkness "Mama". But there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that...right? So while that gets sorted out, Darkness has taxes to collect! It's time for the high-income adventurers to pay their dues and Kazuma's at the top of the list. Naturally, one night after a long game of Cat and Mouse: Tax Evasion Edition, they find themselves handcuffed together, and Darkness sees it as the perfect opportunity to ask Kazuma a burning question. "...Do you like Megumin?"

Number 6, a Combat Agent for the Kisaragi Secret Society, has been sent to a distant alien world on a reconaissance mission with his new android partner to plan an interstellar invasion of a fantasy world.

With the Iris Escort mission behind them, Kazuma and the gang relax in the lap of luxury at the Royal Palace, but it isn't long before they receive an unexpected visitor. A wild Komekko appeared! They decide to look after her for a while and bring her back to the mansion. But once she starts gushing about how amazing Axel's adventurers are, they can't resist the urge to flex and end up accepting a rather troublesome quest from the adventurers guild...

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!

Megumin is off to Arcanletia, the city of water, hot springs...and the Axis Church! With no money and no connections, she soon finds herself helping its members in their efforts to secure new recruits! Along the way, she'll discover just how strange the Axis Church and its followers truly are...-- Provided by publisher.

Megumin and Yunyun are shocked to learn of the evil goddess Wolbach's appearance in the capital. But Megumin has a confession to make--she's already broken Wolbach's seal before, and according to her, the real Wolbach couldn't possibly be in the capital...so where is she?

There's a stalker on the loose! ...Or so it would seem. It looks like Wiz has been receiving a lot of attention from a certain someone, but when she brings it to the attention of Kazuma and Vanir, they can't believe her reaction. Someone's clearly been following her around...so why is she acting like a blushing bride to be?!

Follow Kazuma and his party as they help a team of aspiring dancers, face a former general of the Demon King, and much more, in this novelization of the Konosuba: Fantastic Days mobile game! Don't miss out on the exclusive story content!

After the "self-destruction" of the Demon Lord Viper, relative peace returns to the Kisaragi base, allowing Six and the others to direct their attention to more important matters. For example, how sexy the new recruit's evil executive look is! But in no time at all, chaos descends yet again. Tillis has gone missing in a neighboring country! Alice immediately launches an investigation and Six is the first to volunteer, citing the fact that adventure is way more fun than managing a town. It looks like some new enemies have placed their pieces on the board. But will they be a match for everyone's favorite evil organization?

Eigentlich sollte Kazumas zweites Leben in der anderen Welt super laufen und seine Party die mächtigste Gruppe in Axel sein. Seine Freunde haben schließlich die fortgeschrittensten Klassen: Aqua ist Hohepriesterin, Megumin Erzmagierin und Darkness ein Paladin. Doch leider haben sie alle einen Knall, sodass alles schrecklich schiefgeht und sie kaum genug sparen können, um sich einen Stall zu leisten! Die Gelegenheit, in einem Herrenhaus zu übernachten, kommt da gerade recht. Bloß: Sie müssen die bösen Geister austreiben, die dort spuken. Was kann da schon passieren?

Kazuma glaubt, endlich mal eine große Heldentat vollbringen zu können – aber das Mädchen, dem er zu Hilfe eilt, schwebte nie wirklich in Gefahr und letztendlich stirbt er vor Schreck! Im Jenseits wartet eine zweite Chance auf ihn: Göttin Aqua bietet ihm an, sich in einer anderen Welt als Held zu beweisen. Dazu darf er sich ein legendäres Objekt aussuchen. Kurzerhand wählt Kazuma die freche Göttin! Das ungleiche Paar findet sich in einer an ein Game erinnernden Welt wieder. Doch statt dem erhofften Ruhm erwartet sie bloß harte Arbeit. Bis sie versehentlich die Burg des Dämonenkönigs beschädigen …

Beim Versuch, ein junges Mädchen zu retten, stirbt der Nerd Kazuma vor lauter Schreck an einem Herzinfarkt. Zu allem Übel lacht ihn im Jenseits die arrogante Göttin Aqua für seinen peinlichen Tod auch noch aus. Weil er immerhin versucht hat, Gutes zu tun, darf sich Kazuma in einer Welt, die ihn sehr an seine Lieblingsgames erinnert, erneut behaupten und sogar ein Objekt seiner Wahl mitnehmen. Kurzerhand schnappt er sich die freche Göttin, die nun mit ihm gemeinsam den Dämonenkönig besiegen soll. Doch kann das den beiden Streithähnen überhaupt gelingen, wenn sie es noch nicht einmal schaffen, eine warme Mahlzeit aufzutreiben?

Kazuma und seine Freunde verabschieden sich von Iris und verlassen die königliche Hauptstadt. Kaum zu Hause, stellt Kazuma sein Leben wieder komplett um und faulenzt nur noch. Er hat mehr als genug Geld und will die Ruhe genießen … Doch plötzlich legt Darkness großen Wert auf eine schwierige und große Quest und verschwindet ständig! Wird Kazuma nie Ruhe finden …?

Kazuma soll sich mit Prinzessin Iris‘ Leibwächterin Clair duellieren. Dabei hat er den schwächsten Beruf! Wird er mit seinen fragwürdigen Methoden das Ruder herumreißen und seine Stärke beweisen oder als Schwächling gebrandmarkt?

Die Körper von Kazuma und Iris wurden vertauscht?! Das ist eine totale Katastrophe! Sollte man zumindest annehmen, doch die beiden scheinen den Zwischenfall zu genießen. So versuchen sie, die jeweils andere Person zu spielen, ohne dass jemand etwas davon mitbekommt. Doch was passiert, wenn eine unternehmungslustige Prinzessin plötzlich alle Freiheiten hat und ein hemmungsloser Abenteurer auf einmal Zugang zu sonst unerreichbaren Orten bekommt?

Der Erholungsurlaub kürzlich war schon eine Katastrophe – kaum daheim, eskaliert es noch mehr: »Ich will ein Kind von dir«, wird Kazuma von Yunyun vom Clan des Roten Dämons begrüßt. Ihre und Megumins Heimat ist nämlich in Gefahr und das Kind wäre die Rettung, behauptet Yunyun. Da eilt die Truppe stattdessen doch lieber selbst los! Aber Kazumas Abenteuer sind eben nie so einfach, und daher hat er alle Hände voll zu tun, um nicht der Sippe seiner Erzmagierin zum Opfer zu fallen, ganz zu schweigen davon, sie zu retten!

Kazuma war ein Held! Er hat die Stadt Axel vor der mobilen Festung Destroyer gerettet! Doch plötzlich wird er verhaftet, weil er eine Zeitbombe in das Haus des Fürsten teleportiert hat. Man stellt ihn wegen Landesverrats vor Gericht. Dank der wenig hilfreichen Aussage von Aqua wird Kazuma zum Tode verurteilt … Wird er also wieder – schon wieder – sterben?
