Bofuri: Book 1

Yuumikan

Urged on by her friend, Kaede Honjo begins playing the VRMMORPG NewWorld Online under the name Maple. Not wanting to get hurt, Maple opts to be a shield user with maxed-out defense stats, and continues putting every status point she earns in the game into increasing only her defense level. As a result, she is left with slow foot speed and no magic, but her high defense allows her to endure most hits without taking any damage. This, along with her basic-level creative thinking, allows for her to make unexpected accomplishments in the game, its quests and events. By doing this, she ends up earning all kinds of equally unexpected skills and becomes one of the strongest players in the game.

Whether it's physical attacks or magic or status effects, nothing poses a real threat. In no time at all, news spreads across the server about the adorable terror who can't be defeated. While Maple may just be having fun, her broken build is sure to attract lots of unexpected attention...

The eighth event ended spectacularly, with Maple Tree and the game's two best guilds teaming up in an epic boss battle. Now that things are quieting down, Maple and Sally head out to explore a hidden dungeon together - a flying castle where one false move spells death... for anyone else, at least. They take selfies, act like tourists, and enjoy the simple pleasures of just hanging out. However, that laid-back vibe may not last long with the appearance of new rivals: a girl wreathed in lightning, an intimidating AOE specialist, a master archer, and a guild master dressed as a maid. There's no doubt the best players in the game are watching Maple Tree closely and preparing for future battles!

HUNT SEA MONSTERS? THEY'VE GOT OTHER PLANS!

The ninth event is here, and the entire player base must work together to defeat enough aquatic monsters before time is up. Maple Tree is so powerful they sweep the battlefield with little trouble. Other than Iz, who's after limited-edition crafting materials, the guild members aren't really invested in an event that's not challenging or competitive. Instead, they spend their time searching for rare monsters and bosses or scouting out other guilds. Any info they gather is priceless if they want an edge in future PvP events. This has never been more important now that two up-and-coming guilds have declared themselves Maple Tree's rivals. And they've got beastly members of their own who can give Maple and Sally a run for their money!
