The World of Goblin Slayer
Goblin Slayer, based on the light novel series penned by Kumo Kagyu and brilliantly illustrated by Noboru Kannatuki, is a unique tale set in a world where characters often go unnamed. Our enigmatic protagonist, Goblin Slayer, is known for rarely removing his helmet as he embarks on a relentless mission to exterminate goblins using any means necessary. The first season, animated by WHITE FOX and aired in the Fall 2018 anime season, captivated audiences with its gripping narrative. Following the first season, we were treated to the Goblin Slayer: Goblin’s Crown sequel movie in 2020. Kousuke Kurose’s manga adaptation is also a thrilling companion piece for fans seeking more of this gripping world.
Yen Press plays a vital role in bringing Goblin Slayer’s world to English-speaking audiences, publishing both the light novel and manga series. They succinctly describe the plot as follows:
“A young priestess has formed her first adventuring party, but almost immediately they find themselves in distress. It’s the Goblin Slayer who comes to their rescue–a man who’s dedicated his life to the extermination of all goblins, by any means necessary. And when rumors of his feats begin to circulate, there’s no telling who might come calling next.”
