Bakudanma na Youhei Douji Shoukan Sareta Saikyou Cheat-tomo o Katappashi kara Keshitobasu 2（爆弾魔な傭兵、同時召喚された最強チート共を片っ端から消し飛ばす2）takes its explosive isekai picaresque even darker. Hitting Japanese shelves on December 8, 2025, the new volume throws “bomber” mercenary Jack Aaron and alchemist partner Alice into a desperate clash with this world’s absolute predator: a dragon. If you love revenge-driven antiheroes, black comedy, and very loud problem-solving, this one belongs on your watch list. 💣🐉
Dark isekai picaresque manga led by a bomb-using mercenary
This series skips the usual kind-hearted, overpowered hero. Jack Aaron is summoned to another world, mocked as useless, and nearly sold as a slave. What his new masters don’t realize is that he was feared as a “bomber” in his original world, a mercenary who survives by building explosives that always detonate exactly as planned. Instead of joining the strongest cheaters, he quietly adds his summoners and their favorite toys to a mental hit list.
Jack Aaron’s ruthless code in explosive isekai picaresque
Jack travels with Alice, a cute but dangerous alchemist who becomes his partner in crime. Together they race toward a wild goal: founding the independent nation of Eurea. Jack is not a random killer, but he has zero patience for people who treat others as disposable tools. If you summon him as a weapon or laugh at his “weak” skill, you’ve basically volunteered to test his next bomb. That twisted but consistent code is what gives this isekai picaresque its bite.
Dragon versus bomber: volume 2 pushes Bakudanma na Youhei further
Volume 2 cranks the danger up from dirty back-alley revenge to near-apocalyptic. With a justice-obsessed female knight in the party, Jack tears through mantis-like monsters that double as perfect bomb material. Everything looks under control until a dragon descends from the sky. In this world, dragons are absolute apex predators, and Jack’s usual explosive tricks barely scratch it. Cornered, he gambles on a high-risk strategy that turns the entire battlefield into one massive trap.
From Narou award to isekai picaresque manga on Valkyrie
The story began on the user-generated fiction site Shousetsuka ni Narou and went on to win a silver prize in an isekai manga original story award. Now it is adapted into manga by artist Urashima Tsushima with original story by Yuuki Karakuri, published under Kill Time Communication’s Valkyrie Comics label. That mix of wild web-fiction ideas and Valkyrie’s taste for darker, edgier fantasy is exactly why this series leans so hard into antiheroes, brutal fights, and a slightly sinful atmosphere.
Voice actor PV showcases the series’ dark humor and tension
To promote the first volume, a special PV cast veteran voice actor Hiroaki Hirata as Jack and Wakana Maruoka as Alice. Hearing Jack’s lines in Hirata’s rough, world-weary tone makes him feel like a real battlefield survivor instead of just another edgy teen. Alice’s bright, cute performance adds a sharp contrast when she calmly discusses bomb ingredients and monster parts. Even if you don’t read Japanese, watching the promo video on YouTube is an easy way to feel the series’ blend of tension and black comedy.
Legal ways overseas fans can try this isekai picaresque manga
There is no official English release yet, but overseas fans still have legal options. The latest volume details, cover art, and sample pages are collected on the official Comic Valkyrie comic page, and multiple Japanese e-book stores offer digital versions. Kill Time Communication also runs the free manga site KIMICOMI, where you can find this title’s series page and discover similar fantasy works from the same publisher—check the KIMICOMI series listing if you want more explosive chaos.
Where to start your explosive isekai reading journey
If you are into antiheroes who solve problems with strategy and explosives instead of speeches and friendship beams, Bakudanma na Youhei is very much your kind of isekai picaresque manga. Start from volume 1 to watch a “useless” slave reveal himself as the scariest man on the battlefield, then ride the blast wave into volume 2’s bomber-versus-dragon showdown. Keep an eye on the official comic page and PV for future updates—because if any isekai series is going to quietly blow up next, it might be this one.
