[I never thought I'd say this, but this GOBLIN SLAYER spin-off seems to me very good]

⪻- Review | Comment and Reflection -⪼

The scoop on this manga is better than the original work. It consists of telling you IN DETAIL the past of the Goblin Slayer, and the development of him while hunting Goblins, and also the manga develops more secondary characters such as the receptionist, or the lancer, and this is important, since one of the biggest problems of the original work is that it already has the protagonist very developed and is very wise and intelligent, that is why the original work does not ...

In general, I like this prequel more than the main work for one reason only: Goblin Slayer is much more brutal and merciless, using everything in his power to exterminate the goblins (just like he was in his first appearance in the main work).

In general, this story is about how Goblin Slayer dealt with the goblins before he had companions or soft ...
