6 Anime Like Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu. (BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.)


When inexperienced gamer Kaede starts up the VRMMORPG New World Online, she puts all of her points into defense so she doesn’t have to take any damage. It seems like a rookie mistake to max out only one stat, but she uses her wits and complete disregard for standard gameplay conventions to excel as the Great Shielder Maple. With her childhood buddy Sally and the new friends she meets along the way, Maple forms her own guild and has a grand time adventuring in the most unorthodox way possible. If you’re enjoying the carefree charm of Bofuri this season, why not check out these six other shows about protagonists who eschew the typical hero’s journey? This is 6 Anime Like Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense!
