What's The Rising of The Shield Hero About?

In The Rising of The Shield Hero, you follow the journey of Naofumi Iwatani, a Japanese student who finds himself in a parallel world. The Waves threaten this strange world, and there's a prophecy that four otherworld heroes will arrive to save everyone. Each hero who comes into the world has a weapon; while the other three have attacking weapons, Naofumi finds himself with a shield, which can only be used for defense.

Nobody treats Naofumi with respect, and things get even more difficult for the Shield hero as he moves forward in his journey. Nevertheless, Naofumi trains alone and becomes the warrior that could defeat the waves. On his journey, Naofumi also finds Raphtalia, who helps the Shield Hero on his arduous journey.
