Kadokawa publishes this work under the MF Bunko imprint, with 22 volumes released in Japan so far. There is also a manga adaptation by Kyu Aiya, which has been serialized since 2014 in Media Factory's Comic Flapper magazine and has already compiled 21 tankōbon volumes.

Crunchyroll is currently streaming the anime and describes the plot as follows:

Iwatani Naofumi, an ordinary otaku, finds a book in the library that transports him to another world. He is tasked with wielding one of the four Cardinal Weapons—Sword, Spear, and Bow—and fighting the Waves of Calamity as the Shield Hero. Excited by the prospect of a grand adventure, Naofumi sets out with his party. But just a few days later, he is betrayed and loses all his money, dignity, and respect. Unable to trust anyone anymore, he recruits a slave girl named Raphtalia and takes on the Waves and the world. But will he truly find a way to overcome this desperate situation?
