The Rising of the Shield Hero (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari)
Also known as: 盾の勇者の成り上がり
Four ordinary Japanese men are summoned to the kingdom of Melromarc as Cardinal Heroes destined to stop the Waves of Catastrophe. Naofumi Iwatani, cursed as the Shield Hero and equipped with only a defensive shield, faces scorn from allies and citizens alike. Betrayed and falsely accused, he purchases the demi-human slave Raphtalia and begins his solitary journey to rebuild his strength and restore his shattered reputation while the kingdom's fate hangs in the balance.
