The Rising of the Shield Hero - S01

Naofumi Iwatani sets out with his friends for the eastern isolationist kingdom, aiming to protect Raphtalia from the assassins of Q'ten Lo. Along the way, he stops in Siltvelt, a kingdom founded by a former shield hero, where he is revered as a god and offered the chance to rule the country. Naofumi is unwilling to accept the position, preferring to continue his journey before the next wave of monsters threatens to destroy the world. Even so, he finds himself caught up in local political feuds. After he escapes an assassination attempt, Naofumi decides to confront the leaders of Siltvelt, and this time, he is determined to show that old grudges and petty ambitions are nothing compared to his resolve to save the world.
