Synopsis
Rud is a tank of the Hero's Party and is said to have the highest defense ever in history. The party often does labyrinth raids, but to Rud, it means more than just a raid. To cure his beloved sister's illness, he is in search for the wish-granting treasure that might be hidden in those labyrinths. But one day, the arrogant hero kicks him from the party after an unsuccessful raid attempt, blaming it on his skills whose effects he is still unaware of.

Without nowhere else to go and nothing to do, he decides to return to his hometown, where his sister is waiting. On his way there, he saves a girl who was being attacked by a monster. Unexpectedly, this girl has an extremely rare skill called "Appraisal." Thanks to her skill, Rud is able to discover the truth behind his unknown skills, which turn out to be very powerful skills. With a defense of 9999 and powerful skills, thus begins the adventure of the strongest tank, Rud! (Source: Square Enix)

@erikkamirs Most of these work are the wish fulfillment, in this case revenge on the guild master. A couple of years ago there was quite scandalous, but the trendy yuri on this motive.

So many fantasy protagonists are getting kicked out of their adventurers' party. I think it's becoming a trend lmao.

I did read 8 chapters of the manga before dropping it. I didn't expect it to get an anime adaptation tbh.

@EcchiGodMamster Shield Hero didn't invent a protagonist with a focus on protecting with a super shield. Simply for a number of reasons it became the most famous work of this type. That's why kids even call Bofuri Shield Hero's rip off, whats just silly.

ah yes...

more medieval/middle age fantasy world, RPG, OP blacked haired MC, hero, adventurer, dungeon, labyrinth, copy paste monsters, pseudo harem anime

Am get it right, after leading roles in G-WItch and Frieren, all in one year (the first of which is even considered a breakthrough for her), Kana-chan is taking on a role in an adaptation of a generic isekai/fantasy? Is this some kind of sophisticated punishment for the failure of Ayakashi Triangle?
