I have been reading plenty of Isekais lately and this one is about a underated tank looked down upon and framed as a rapist, murderer, evildoer by his allies and those that summoned him. Its pretty much to the point, where the main character has to go through many obstacles and handicaps with the help of people that get to know him and believe in him seeing the kind person he is deep down. There isn't any fan service which is nice and the first female main character is one that truly develops into her own more than others.
Do I recommend it:
I Refuse to Read the Manga & Watch the Anime Because of The Controversy Surrounding the Very First Episode.

Dominique "Eerie" wrote: "Honestly, I had no idea any controversy had risen from this light novel turned manga let alone the anime I never watched. I guess this all started with the anime?"As a matter of fact Both the Manga & the Anime Were Accused of being in Poor Taste in 2019 Following the #Metoo Movement, The Harvey Weinstein Case & All That Stuff.

Is there an anime adaptation?
Yes.
Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic Otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!
