A review by clowdywings
The Rising of the Shield Hero, Volume 01: The Manga Companion by Aneko Yusagi

4.0

This was sad but good.

According to my friend who had watched the first season of this anime, the manga cut out a ton. But they said it was tastefully done.

The story is a very serious one. I was a little shocked at the incidents because of how the story was set up in the beginning and how it changed. It was well done, but I’m not sure how long it can last.

I really like the art style. It’s the style that I find enjoyable. It was good from almost every angle.

One aspect I really liked about this was the legitimate otaku-ness. The main character in this iseki is an otaku. And he behaved like it, especially in the beginning. I don’t think that it will majorly impact the story any further but we shall see.


Not for everyone but worth a shot.
