Title: Goblin Slayer Vol. 6
Series: Goblin Slayer – 6th volume
Author: Kuma Kagyu
Comments: Who knew that so many different things can happen to a guy who slays only goblins? Yet here we are with another volume of interesting events and further character development of Goblin Slayer. It dives a little bit into the guild system again, with Priestess worrying about her rank. Being a year since she started, a batch of new adventurers arrives, and with their lack of experience comes arrogant. It just so happen that the one with the most arrogance gets the attention of Goblin Slayer. It’s a bit tough in the beginning because the new character is too rash and you can see all his mistakes before he makes them. The amount of danger he puts the party in cannot be understated. This reinforces the fact how a strong team has trust, working well with each other and knowing what to do to complement each other. After the various goblin encounters (all of which Goblin Slayer continues to surprise you with never using the same strategy twice), it seemed the pacing slows down. While Goblin Slayer is viewed unfavorably by the newbies, all the veterans appreciate what he does, odds quirks and all. Goblin Slayer himself starts to show more emotions, confusing even himself. It then proceeds to start expanding on the training of the new adventurers and this leads into the climax where as expected, things are never so peaceful. The final battle, while still fantastic, never quite elevates to the same heights as previous volumes. Just when you feel it is about to enter its height, that was the peak and it ends.
Rating: 7/10
