Yeah. From what I read/what I could find is that in the case of Konosuba the manga is meant to be a guide for the anime while the light novel is considered the actually canonical story line for the series.
I don’t know if that’s always the care or often the case but this is the first time I’ve came across it. So I was confused and wanted clarification
Konosuba initially started off as a web novel. It then managed to get picked up by a publisher and now continues in actual light novel printed format. The anime and manga came off afterwards. Sometimes the peripheral materials after the source material will center around side stories or have a different take on the story though.
But I think for Konosuba’s case, the manga doesn’t really add much more and is pretty much just the same same (don’t quote me exact on that though, just what i feel lol. Between anime and light novel you should be good).
Of course any series can make their start in any format anyway i.e: Code Geass - which was an anime original that spawned a whole buncha light novel and manga side stories.
And then you got series where the source material actually sucked in comparison to whatever came afterwards.
i.e: Nadesico - original manga sucked, but the anime based off it is a damn classic. Original Ga Rei manga was so-so, but it managed to spawn an anime prequel Ga-Rei Zero that was some pretty hot stuff.
Thank you senpai of the pool. 
Whatever you do, don’t read the light novel of Shield Hero. It was fucking terrible
I know pretty much nothing about shield hero and likely plan on keeping it that way.
You’re better off for it. That shit went so far off the rails
Isn’t the light novel the source material?
O I know what to watch next now. That reminds me I still need to finish bubblegum crisis.
Yeah, and it starts well enough same as the anime, but shit goes bonkers. Reading it, you get the idea that the author has absolutely lost control of the story and has no idea what he wants to do.
lol Eizouken
I started watching Vinland Saga on Amazon. This show is fucking amazing. I was warned about it having a slow start but episodes have been moving quick to me. It’s crazy how good Thorfinn gets for someone who is self taught.
FBI! Open up!
What over cons are you hitting up this year?
