Goblin Slayer Side Story Year One Vol. 05

Goblin Slayer and Arc Mage continue their goblin research with a dissection, which provides both useful information and tantalizing theories. Meanwhile, Rookie Warrior heads into an abandoned mine with a gaggle of inexperienced but fearless adventurers-can he protect this newly formed party from ending up like his last one when they come under attack from an unexpected and deadly threat?! And the women in Goblin Slayer’s life show some concern about all the time he’s spending with Arc Mage…

Series Overview: Three days after his sister’s death, he finally regained the will to move. In the aftermath of a goblin raid, a lone boy mourns the loss of his village, his family.

Five years later, that same boy visits a city on the frontier and becomes an adventurer. Despite being the lowest rank and wholly inexperienced, the young adventurer immediately accepts a quest and sets out alone to raid a goblin lair. His mind already burning with a clear vision of his calling, the legend of Goblin Slayer begins.

Title Notes:

Goblin Slayer’s popularity continues to swell, quickly building a dedicated fan base and becoming one of most highly anticipated releases from Yen Press.

An anime adaptation of the main series began airing in October 2018, significantly increasing popularity for the franchise.

Worlds with “Dungeons & Dragons”-type settings are becoming increasingly popular, crossing outside of the typical community for manga and light novels, and Goblin Slayer falls squarely in this category.
