Kazuma Sato is a game-loving shut-in-- or at least he was, right up until a humiliating traffic accident brought his young life to an untimely end ... is what you'd think. But after his death, a beautiful young girl calling herself a goddess offers him the chance to be reborn in another world. And so Kazuma's grand adventure to defeat the demon king begins ... is what should have happened. But now he's been burdened with the useless goddess Aqua and the explosion-magic obsessed loli girl Megumin as they struggle to obtain just the basic necessities, doing nothing but hard labor day in and day out.
