The Rising of the Shield Hero Volume 01 by Aneko Yusagi

4.0

The anime follows this really closely, so if you have seen the show, it is a lot of recap. I really enjoyed the show, so for me, this was a perk. But if you are hoping for something different this might not be for you.

I did enjoy getting some of Naofumi's inner thoughts, as that helps contextualize some of his actions a bit better.

The writing is quick, and to the point, occasionally I had difficulty telling who was saying what, as there are a lot of sentences that just say the statement, but never attribute it to anyone. Usually you can tell, but stylistically it wasn't my favorite.

Im excited to read further and see what happens after season 1!
