One of the best, if not the best, spin-off/prequel I've ever read!

This work is a prequel to the main work, which shows how Goblin Slayer earned his silver rank title and how he learned the tricks he currently uses in the other work. 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 ...

I personally think, that this prequeal is actually better than the Main Manga.
The Main reason is, that it's Art & Story catches the "Savage"-Style, that i like about the series, more than the other Goblin Slayer Manga did
I felt like every Manga from the Goblin Slayer series focussed on something diffrent
Goblin Slayer (Main) focusses on Character Development
Goblin Slayer Tsubanari no Daikatana focusses on Edgyness
Goblin Slayer Brand New Day focusses on Interpersonal things
And Goblin Slayer Year One focusses on Savageness
And the Savageness is the biggest reason why I love Goblin Slayer this much and also why it's better than the other stories

Yeah, more Goblin Slayer.

Story 7/10.

It's a prequel series about Goblin Slayer's past, along with all the other adventures you'll come across in the main Manga. I feel like this entire prequel should've been part of the main Manga, it's a way better introduction to the series and reveals a lot more about Goblin Slayer and what kind of struggles he went through to develop his skill in combat. It also does a great job focusing on the side characters and really fleshes them out throughout the manga.

Art 10/10.

Just like the main Manga, the art in this is absolutely stunning. For me it's ...
