The Rising of the Shield Hero 7

SCORE: 69

I am so thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 manga book. I am also appreciative of having the time to read and review this book. There will be spoilers in this black and white review. The Filolial Queen encourages Naofumi to make peace with the others heroes. If the heroes continue to fight the Filolial Queen will kill all of them so new heroes could be brought to the world. Naofumi has been lied about, attacked, and hunted by the other heroes. He is not that interested in peace with those other heroes.

The issues families can have with The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 are violence, blood, bad language, threats, lies, false accusations, lies, false gods, and more. Naofumi agrees to try and make peace. Can you guess what happens once he meets one of the other heroes? The Spear Hero attacks the Shield Hero and accuses him of killing off the other two heroes. A lot of The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 is showing how exasperated Naofumi is with people who do not think things through. He is also tired of constantly correcting other heroes who are jealous of his skill.

The church of the three heroes winds up attacking both the Spear Hero and the Shield Hero. It helps the Spear Hero get a small taste of what the Shield Hero has been going through all of these other manga books. The Queen's Shadows had saved the other two heroes and they show up so all four of them can work together. At least that is where The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 ends. I have seen the anime so I know they will team up and work together. There is still some bad blood between the heroes going forward.

An interesting section of The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 is when Filo must fight the Filolial Queen. It is becoming apparent that Filo will become the Filolial Queen herself at some point in the future. There is plenty of action within The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 from start to finish. In fact there is very few pages where we can catch our break from the action. I like that personally because it makes it easier and quicker to read through. The words used in The Rising of the Shield Hero 7 are important.

There is also some humor within The Rising of the Shield Hero 7. Some of Naofumi's answers had me rolling. Like when he replied with: "Huh?" to "lets team up." The irony must have been thick for Naofumi at that point. After being betrayed, lied about, and falsely accused one of the people believing all of the lies wants to work with him. Why? Because he was being lied about and was going to die. The Spear Hero finally realized that he needed the Shield Hero. After all of those insults he finally asked for help.
