Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic Otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!
Motoyasu has been thrown back in time once more. Relying on his vague memories of previous go-arounds, he brings Naofumi to the slave market and tries to convince him to buy a slave. But there is a familiar face among the demi-humans for sale—who could it be?
After traveling to Faubrey to meet the country’s seven star hero, Naofumi finds himself faced with Takt, the Whip Hero. It was this same Takt, along with his disdainful attitude, that ultimately caused the death of Atla in the battle against the Phoenix. Fueled by rage, Naofumi tries to fight Takt, but Takt steals the shield that Naofumi thought was permanently attached to his arm. With his defenses weakened, Naofumi suffers a critical injury and finds himself in a mysterious, unfamiliar world. There, he finds a reassuring ally waiting for him. But once again, Naofumi is forced to make an impossibly difficult decision. “It really was more baggage than anyone should be forced to carry. But actually, I couldn’t say I minded.” Naofumi’s rise to glory continues in volume sixteen of this otherworldly fantasy!
The Shield Hero Naofumi and his allies have been caught up in a strange phenomenon and sent flying back into the past, village and all. Naofumi enters into an uneasy alliance with Mamoru, the Shield Hero of the past, but Naofumi remains unable to completely trust him, suspicious of his actions. One night, one of the orphans under Mamoru’s care comes to find Naofumi. The child proceeds to lead him to a chamber below Siltran Castle. “What kind of facility is this?” Just what has Mamoru been gathering up these orphans for? The action continues in the twenty-first volume of this still rising otherworld fantasy!
“I wasn’t expecting you to be in cahoots with the queen, that’s for sure.” Having defeated Kyo and left Kizuna and the others behind, Naofumi and his friends return to Melromarc. The Spirit Tortoise has left a deep scar on the world’s nations, including their own Melromarc. Now with the objective of preparing for future struggles against the waves and the deadly Phoenix, for some reason Naofumi heads straight to the slave trader?!
Motoyasu and friends are in Siltvelt when the Melromarc army invades. But what exactly has Itsuki been up to this whole time? Motoyasu and Naofumi ride a dragon and face off against the Church of the Three Heroes in an epic battle!
