Story: 9
4 "Heroes" are summoned from Earth to serve as champions and defeat waves of monsters threatening a kingdom. Each person starts with a legendary weapon, however, the protagonist starts off with a shield! He is very quickly betrayed by a "comrade" and is cast out and treated like garbage and seen with contempt. This is a very unique part of the story, with a betrayal so quickly in the story, not usual in a genre like this. There is a slight harem aspect to this manga, but I feel that is unique in the way that the protagonist have different bonds with each of them, instead of just seeing them as friends.
Art: 8
I'm not too much of an art fanatic, but the best part of this art, is when the protagonist glares or is angry. You can see the menacing look in his eyes and the anger he feels. You can feel his intense desire for vengeance, I can feel his emotions. Other than that, the non-human species are drawn very well and I have no complaints about the art.
Character: 10
There are many excellent characters in this story, but the protagonist is the best by far. Not many manga start off on a bad note, and we can slowly watch as the character's anger grows with each passing day. However, he never loses sight of himself, and he constantly strides to become more powerful to take vengeance on those who wronged him, and protect the new allies that begin to surround him.
Enjoyment: 10
I seriously love this genre and this story, and the plot for this manga is just superb. We have too many "nice guy" and "strong justice" characters whose only goal is to protect his friends. We get to see the genre from a whole new perspective and see how anger and rage can also be used as motivation for power.
Overall: 9
I love reading this manga, I stumbled upon it about 2 weeks ago, and I had caught up to the latest chapter in 2 days. I was so captured by the protagonist and how different he was from normal characters of the same genre. There is a few cliques that cannot be avoided, but I think that this manga has the potential to become an anime someday.
