Synopsis

Twenty-year-old otaku Naofumi Iwatani is mysteriously transported to the otherworldly kingdom of Melromarc. Appearing before the King, Naofumi and three other summoned individuals learn that they are each one of the Four Cardinal Heroes who are tasked with defeating the malicious "Waves of Catastrophe."

However, Naofumi is given only a measly shield and dubbed the "Shield Hero," the weakest of the Four Cardinal Heroes. Owing to his lack of power, none of the kingdom's mercenaries wish to aid him, except for the country's beautiful princess, Malty Melromarc. But Naofumi soon awakens the next day to find himself robbed of all his possessions and falsely accused of rape by Malty.

Due to his status as a Cardinal Hero, Naofumi is not executed, but instead, his erroneous crimes are made public. Struggling to find hospitality, Naofumi buys a demi-human slave girl named Raphtalia to aid his endeavors, and embarks on a perilous journey to deliver retribution to those who ruined him, learning the secrets of this new world along the way.

okay so let me start by saying this is a really good manga and I'm very disappointed with the way they adapted the anime. personally watched the first season three times because it was so well adapted, but didn't even try to watch season 2 instead just read the manga and was glad i did. First the story continues on from where season 1 ended and does so well with the artwork creating exciting monster designs and character battles. the artwork is where season 2 failed. going forward though the character development progresses at a steady pace making the cast stronger with each arc and ...

Idk if there's any part considered spoiler in my text but if so, sorry.

This manga is great....then you finish the first arc. The story start with the revenge plot, where the MC is wrongfully accused and then we follow him on his tragic situation. The thing is, when you're done reading this arc, the rest of story becomes incredibly bland. Except naofumi and his gang, every other character have just no effort put into them whatsoever, more specifically the three other isekai guys. You would think that after the first act, they would have grown or changed or something would have made them more interesting, ...

Shield hero has basic art and a mildly engaging story, but what really ruined it is the lolita harem. The MC first recruits a slave girl with the body of a sexy woman and the mind of a 10 year old girl .

Both the raccoon and bird girl are obsessed with the mc. This drivel is entertaining for those who like lolicon harem self inserts.
Aside from the awful harem plot, the story is a ...
