Merry Month of Manga: KONOSUBA: GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD

It's a miracle! A modern isekai manga that neither bored nor infuriated me!

KONOSUBA: GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o!), based on the light novel by Natsume Akatsuki and character designs by Kurone Mishima, with art by Masahito Watari.  First published in 2014 and first published in North America in 2016.



PLOT:

Kazuma Sato had the bad luck to get hit by a truck on one of the rare occasions he emerged from his room.  In the afterlife, the goddess Aqua offers to send him to a fantasy world straight out of his JRPG-addled dreams with any weapon he wishes.  He jokingly suggests that Aqua herself be his weapon.

Now Kazuma is saddled with nothing but the basic skills of an adventurer and a goddess who's good for nothing beyond the odd healing spell.  Together with a mage who can only cast an explosion spell and a knight who lives for humiliation and pain, they try to find the next big quest.
