the only difference i can add to this is that while in Shield Hero, EVERYONE hated Naofumi just cuz hes the shield hero. Here? No one knows who he is honestly (i cant really talk since im only 22 pages in and wanted to see ppls reactions) and he can be free to do whatever the hell he wants... provided he steer clear of his old partyI'm thinking this situation is 60% similar to Tate no Yuusha:
- ML gets betrayed by party-member
- Because he doesn't dare trust anyone he gets a slave
- Slave is cheap because she is sick even though she is a batsman
- ML makes medicine for slave
Though this story does seem interesting in it's own right.
