The Rising of the Shield Hero
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari
Naofumi Iwatani is summoned to a parallel kingdom along with three other heroes from neighbouring Japans — each issued a legendary weapon and tasked with stopping a recurring apocalypse called the Waves. Naofumi draws the Shield. On day one he is publicly framed by his only party member, abandoned by the throne, and left without funding or allies. The first season is his slow climb out of the resulting reputation hole: the slave demi-human Raphtalia he eventually adopts as a partner, the small bird-monster Filo who imprints on him, and the politics around the Waves the other three heroes are too vain to take seriously.
