Konosuba - Merchandise
Konosuba is a popular comedy isekai (other world) light novel series that received an anime adaptation in the Winter 2016 anime season and a second season a year later. Since the airing of the anime series, a wide range of merchandise has been released. These products include figures, t-shirts, keychains, blankets, dakimakura covers, and much more. Although figures based on the characters are rather popular, other items based on the series still sell incredibly well among fans. Some of the most popular pieces of Konosuba merchandise include the following items: the “Megumin B2-Size Tapestry”, the “Pop Socket Collection”, and the “Trading Acrylic Keychain Box Set”, which are all items from the KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Bakuen Fair.
KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Bakuen Fair Megumin B2-Size Tapestry
This piece of artwork features the fan-favorite character, Megumin, as she prepares to cast her favorite (and only known) spell, Explosion. Megumin herself wears her standard archwizards outfit, complete with her red dress, iconic wide-brimmed wizard’s hat, wooden staff, and her dark cape flowing behind her. Many different magical sparkles of blue and yellow fly around her, showing that she is preparing her spell. The background behind Megumin is simple. A raging red, yellow, and orange fire burns behind her that fades into black. The tapestry itself has a rod going through the top and bottom, making it easy to roll up and store. The top of the item also has a string that runs from one end to the other, which lets its user easily hang it up on a wall as a decoration. The tapestry is also made with polyester suede, so it is both visually appealing and durable.

About the Characters
Aqua is the goddess of water and is worshipped by the Axis Order. Despite being irresponsible, she is a goddess in charge of guiding souls to the afterlife, though she was dragged into the fantasy world by Kazuma, the protagonist.
Megumin is an Arch Wizard from the Crimson Demon Clan and is the first person to join Kazuma's party, excluding Aqua. Despite being a powerful spellcaster, she only knows the Explosion spell and refuses to use any other spell, making her quite useless during quests.
Dustiness Ford Lalatina, also known as Darkness, is a failure of a crusader who has major masochist tendencies. Despite being a Crusader, her sword skills are non-existent and she uses her body to defend against attacks instead.
About Konosuba
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (usually shortened to “Konosuba”) is a Japanese light novel series written by Natsume Akatsuki that was eventually adapted into an anime series that was directed by Takaomi Kanasaki and produced by Studio DEEN. The first season ran from January 14th, 2016 to March 17th, 2016. The story is about Kazuma Satou, a NEET who dies a pitiful death and is given the choice to either go to heaven or reincarnate into another world. As Kazuma is quite knowledgeable about “isekai” (other world) stories, he decides to not pass up the chance to start a new life in a fantasy world. Rather than being a story about saving the world and defeating the demon lord, however, Kazuma and his friends go about their everyday lives comedically, as they get into all sorts of trouble. The anime became super popular due to it parodying the typical isekai story as it continues to be a worldwide sensation today.
