Synopsis
In a distant world, the Kingdom of Melromarc is overflown with catastrophe. The only way to save its citizen is to summon the legendary figures who would have a sword, spear, bow, and shield. Luckily, several people in modern-day Japan answer the call, including otaku Naofumi Iwatani. As the Shield Hero, the other heroes see him as the weakest.
When the heroes go on their separate journeys, Iwatani has only one person at his side: the beautiful princess Malty Melromarc. But she soon betrays him, steals all his money, and accuses him of taking advantage of her. The Kingdom of Melromarc brands the young man as a criminal and an outcast for his alleged crimes. Now he must show everyone why he’s the Shield Hero.
