The Rising of the Shield Hero #12

Volume 12 of The Rising of the Shield Hero brings a striking cover from artist Aiya Kyu, featuring the shield-bearing hero front and center, his glowing blue shield held at the ready beneath a determined gaze, with the fierce and sword-wielding Raphtalia rising boldly behind him. The pairing captures the heart of this series — a defender and his loyal companion facing whatever threats lie ahead together. Published in France by Bamboo Édition's Doki Doki imprint in 2019, this volume is a solid addition to one of the most compelling isekai manga adaptations around.
