In fact, as the first fully translated work in its genre, it could very well be the reason we received the Anime in the first place. That being said, the Light Novel expands heavily on the Web Novel. While the Light Novel’s story does diverge from the Web Novel at some point, this was by choice of the author. That is why I would say that the Web Novel is worth a read when you’re done with the other material, but until then I would recommend the Light Novel instead. The Light Novel is a heavily expanded version of the Web Novel and is still ongoing. It features illustrations the Manga and Anime base themselves on. It is the version I would recommend for those who want more Shield Hero after finishing the anime.ĭespite being a somewhat faithful adaptation, there are quite a few differences between the Light Novel and the Anime.

It is the norm that Animes are based on Mangas. This is not fully the case for The Rising of the Shield Hero, however, as explained above. While the Anime does draw inspiration from the Manga for minor characters, it mainly takes its inspiration directly from the Light Novel. This includes a lot of content that is not included in the Manga.
