How to Watch Konosuba’s Megumin Spin-Off
Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!ย has yet to set any international release plans as of this writing when it hits Japan this April, but what has been confirmed is that Yujiro Abe will be serving as director for Studio Drive with main Konosuba franchise director Takaomi Kanasaki supervising. If you’re curious about the original light novels, the original three volume spin-off series has been licensed for an English language release by Yen Press. They tease the spin-off as such:
“One year before a certain useless goddess and NEET extraordinaire hit the scene, Megumin, the ‘Greatest Genius of the Crimson Magic Clan,’ is hard at work. Ever since a life-changing encounter in her youth, the young wizard has dedicated her every waking moment to the pursuit of the ultimate offensive magic, Explosion! (Well…every moment not spent hustling food from her self-proclaimed rival.) And while the big sister’s away, the little one will play. On a routine trip into the woods, Megumin’s little sister, Komekko, finds a strange black kitten. Little does she know that this cat plays a key role in unsealing a Dark God’s tomb…”
