Goblin Slayer Gaiden: Year One
Goblin Slayer readers know the man he becomes: a veteran specialist who hunts goblins and nothing else. This prequel goes back to where that drive began. He was a boy when goblins wiped out his village, and his sister died in the raid. He joins the guild in a frontier town five years after the raid at porcelain, the lowest rank there is. His first quest is a goblin nest and he takes it on alone. Kumo Kagyu, the creator of Goblin Slayer, writes it and Kento Sakaeda draws it. It is rated for mature readers. Pick it up if the main series left you curious about his past.
