Story
The life of Kazuma Sato (Kazuma), a shut-in that loves games, ended all too soon due to a traffic accident(!?) ... or so it was supposed to be. However, when he opens his eyes, a beautiful girl claiming to be a goddess, Aqua, declares: "Hey, I got a good deal for you. Would you like to go to another world? You can take one thing of your choice along with you." ".....Then, I choose you." In another world much like an RPG game, enjoy the longed-for life of an adventurer! Aim to become the hero! Soon after getting worked up as such, the first obstacle befalling Kazuma who reincarnated into another world... ...was finding money to live, of all things! Furthermore... Kazuma's troubles continue as he ends up having to form a party with the three highly skilled yet tremendously unfortunate trio being Aqua the troublemaker of a bad goddess, Megumin the mage who has 8th grade syndrome, Darkness the female knight who can't stop fantasizing. And, one day, Kazuma's party finally is noticed by the evil overlord's army---!? Which way is tomorrow for the other world life spent by Kazuma, an average adventurer!?
