The Rising of the Shield Hero

Ongoing

盾の勇者の成り上がり

Naofumi Iwatani is an ordinary otaku who is suddenly summoned to a parallel world to become one of four legendary heroes. Armed with the sword, spear, bow, and shield, the heroes are tasked with defending the kingdom of Melromarc from waves of calamity. Naofumi receives the shield, a weapon with no offensive power, and is quickly dismissed as the weakest of the four.

His situation worsens when his only companion, Princess Malty Melromarc, betrays him, steals his money, and accuses him of assault. Branded a criminal and cast out by society, Naofumi is left alone with nothing but his shield and a growing hatred for those who wronged him.

Now penniless and despised, he must find a way to survive and grow stronger despite his limitations. His journey becomes a struggle not only against the monsters that threaten the world, but also against the kingdom that turned its back on him.
