The Rising Of The Shield Hero Volume 02: Light Novel

This story is full of action, and you can really sympathize with the main character. It was one of my favorite animes, and so far the books haven't disappointed.

Mon fils adore

Tudo estava como pedido e chegou relativamente rapido...

Volume 2 is even better than the first. There is just so much more character development, plot and action. As if Naofumi hasn't already completely wrapped himself around your heart already, he just keeps getting more and more likeable a character. That is not to say Naofumi is the only important character though; Raphtalia and Filo are also extremely likeable and unique characters who play irreplaceable parts in the story. Furthermore although there are now 2 females in his party, still NO HAREM. Yes, you've heard me: no harem. Naofumi sees both of his companions as his daughters, rather than love interests; he acts like a father figure as he protects and raises them. If you're looking for one of the most refreshing and interesting take on the genre to date, this series is the Holy Grail. The quality of the story definitely improved, but the publishing quality did not; it got worse, even. At several points in the volume, I seriously questioned whether One Peace Books proof read their translation at all: oddly phrased sentences saw a decrease while typos and mistakes saw an drastic increase. I'm usually lenient on small errors like these because they usually do not detract much from the story. However, in the case of this volume, sometimes the errors were bad enough to distort the meaning of entire sentences. But in the end, the shortcomings in quality checking could not overshadow the amazing story that Aneko Yusagi has woven. This series has grabbed me for good and will probably not let go for a long time to come, which is good, because I don't want it to let go either.
