Title: Goblin Slayer Vol. 3
Series: Goblin Slayer – 3rd volume
Author: Kumo Kagyu
Comments: While still a strong volume, there’s less action to be had. Most of the volume focuses upon Goblin Slayer’s relationship, more specifically, potentially romantic relationships. Despite his stoic attitude and fixation on slaying goblins (and only goblins), he sure attracts a lot of women. Taking place during a festival that the town is hosting, Goblin Slayer goes out on a date with various women. This short period of respite gives us an insight to the thinking behind Goblin Slayer, as well as the other characters that were only in the background thus far. Despite the relatively mundane activities, you keep reading because Goblin Slayer’s responses and reactions are funny. However, if it is goblin slaying that you crave, then the final section will satisfy that urge. Once again, we see the how ingenious Goblin Slayer is when he devises unorthodox methods of slaying goblins, especially when it overcomes the advantage that the goblins have with the overwhelming numbers. While it never gets to the point of the epic feel that was the climax of the first volume, it’s great to see how the team has grown so much, working so well together to overcome a powerful enemy.
Rating: 6.5/10
