KonoSuba Season 3 Could Possibly Adapt Light Novel Volume 6
Knowing that the first two seasons of KonoSuba covered light novel volumes 1–4 and the film covered light novel volume 5, it is safe to assume that the third season will adapt light novel volume 6.
Fans can expect more funny shenanigans from Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness as they begin yet another season of fun and games.
