Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari [WN]
Original Title : 盾の勇者の成り上がり
Alternative Title: The Rising of the Shield Hero Author : Aneko Yusagi (アネコユサギ) Illustrator : Minami Seira (弥南 せいら) Publisher : MF Books Status : 3 volumes, publication still ongoing. Spoiler for Novel Cover Illustration:
Summary : Iwatani Naofumi is summoned to another world to become one of the 4 heroes, namely the Shield Hero. Starting out with poor popularity and labeled as the weakest, Naofumi found himself betrayed on the 3rd day of his adventure. Losing faith and money, all that left is just his shield... vowing to exact revenge to those who had betrayed him, Naofumi path is...... News from the Author said this will start serialization in comic flapper later, with Aiya Kyuu as illustrator. This is a good read, and I really really liked this, as it is similar to The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor with a little spice of Ubel Blatt, though not as dark as the latter. |

So a few questions... 1. Does the protagonist come from modern Japan? 2. How does he compensate for his lack of offense? 3. What are these heroes supposed to do? Is there a demon king somewhere? |

Okay that's enough rant about Weed ^^ While answering all of your question, I'll talk more about the series. Spoiler:
Spoiler for Raftalia or Laftalia:
Naofumi ways of adventuring is party style and he is on supportive role. The shield grant him boost in stats, mainly defense and new skill to use such as imprisoning target, heal, guarding, etc. Spoiler:

Thanks for the info dump, but I think you should put those in spoiler tags. I'm guessing this is a harem? Did this slave magically grow up into the beast woman on the cover of the first novel? So currently how is our protagonist holding up compared to the other heroes? Last edited by BW95; 2014-01-09 at 21:46. |

Nope, I think this is one of those out-of-radar series, coming out from unpopular publisher or Light novel Imprint |

There is anymore description about the other heroes? (the sword, spear, & bow). We already know that Motoyasu was a f**king bastard, but there are any story about them? How was their development?

Does mentally maturity come with this growth spurt or is she like Kon from Tokyo Ravens? I'm guessing Laftalia plays the role of main damage dealer? Does she call him master? Has his relationship with her reached romantic or at least one-sided romance? Is the blondie some sort of healer? What is the scale of the challenges Naofumi faces every volume? I can't imagine it being like Moonlight Sculptor where Weed always gets roped into some huge Crusade with the bare minimum of forces. Is this Kawasumi Itsuki male or female? I'm trying to confirm if all the heroes here are guys. It seems a little weird for the King to betray him just for something his predecessor had done. Does it look like the author's going to use Naofumi's trauma to further his character development? I can imagine him freeing Laftalia from her slavery under dire circumstances thereby overcoming his trust issues. |
