content
The student and otaku Naofumi Iwatani finds the “Treatise on the Arms of the Four Saints” in the library. When he tries to read it, he passes out and is drawn into the world of the book. He was summoned here by the king with three others to protect as one of the four heroes from great danger. But first he and the three others should explore the world and gain experience.
Naofumi only receives a shield as a weapon - the least popular of the four weapons, which is why none of the king's subjects wants to join him as a companion. Only the young Myne Suphia wants to accompany him. Naofumi uses the money he received for his mission to buy expensive armor. He is denied other weapons. And the fight against monsters is of little use to him, because he can hardly be wounded by the shield, but it is also difficult to kill monsters. Finally, his equipment is stolen overnight - by Myne Suphia, who accuses him of raping her in front of the king. Naofumi is cast out and now has to fight his way alone with his shield. He earns money collecting herbs and he succeeds in taming little monsters and making them fight for them. With the money he finally buys the slave Raphtalia, whom he also lets fight for himself and who soon becomes a companion for him.

The light novel was initially published online as a web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō platform from 2012 .

Anime
For 2019, the Kinema Citrus studio produced a 25-part anime series based on the light novel. Directed by Takao Abo and lead author was Keigo Koyanagi . The music for the series was composed by Kevin Penkin . The series was broadcast in Japan on January 9, 2019 and published via streaming on Crunchyroll , including German and English subtitles.
The first episode of the series was received largely negatively by the relevant media and, in addition to genre elements that were viewed as boring and worn out, was criticized as misogynistic because of the portrayal of the simulated rape. The anime, on the other hand, was a great success with the public and, thanks to its popularity, doubled the sales of light novel and manga series.
During the Crunchyroll Expo on September 1, 2019, it was announced that the anime will have both a second and a third season.
