As the anime gets ready to return for the highly anticipated third season of the series, there are all sorts of questions as to what the wild characters from the series will be getting into next.

Along with the third season of the series, Konosuba will also be launching a new spin-off following Megumin before she joined up with Kazuma and the others.

Based on Natsume Akatsuki and Masahito Watari’s original light novel series,ย Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World’s anime does not currently have a set release date outside of being scheduled for next year. Yujiro Abe will be serving as director for Studio Drive with main Konosuba franchise director Takaomi Kanasaki supervising. Makoto Uezu returns from the main series as series composer, Koichi Kikuta returns as character designer, and Rie Takahashi and Aki Toyosaki have been confirmed to return as the voices of both Megumin and Yunyun respectively. The original three volume spin-off series has been licensed for an English language release by Yen Press (if you wanted to check it out and read ahead), and they describeย Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful Worldย as such:ย
“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…”
