Naofumi and three other young boys were teleported to a magical fantasy world. Each was gifted special weapons, with Naofumi receiving a Shield. With bright eyes and anticipation, Naofumi could not wait to take on the new world he was in. Unfortunately, Naofumi’s hopes would be crushed as a sinister stigma attached to his special weapon would find him ostracized by the kingdom, framed for a crime he didn’t commit, and alone in a strange place.
Naofumi doesn’t give up, but grows spiteful of the new world and everyone in it. Growing cold, Naofumi winds up with a small group of people he can trust who slowly rehabilitate his heart. Even with his walls up, Naofumi still rises to the occasion as the hero this world summoned him to be. The Rising of the Shield Hero makes for a great story of a hero becoming the best version of himself.
