"The Rising of the Shield Hero" has been airing since July 2021. This work was born from the now familiar "Let's Become a Novelist", but the author has also published other works. This time, we will introduce other works drawn by the author, as well as information about the people involved in this work, such as the animation company and the animation director.
Started on Let's Become a Novelist, and is currently being serialized on pixiv
This work was serialized in "Let's Become a Novelist", which has produced many animated works, in 2014, and moved to pixiv in 2016 and began serialization. The novel of the series is in its 15th volume. The manga has been published up to volume 7. The publisher is Overlap, and the manga version is currently being serialized on the web comic distribution site "Comic Gardo". As of 2020, the series has sold over 1 million copies, including e-books, and the number of copies published is expected to increase further due to the influence of the anime in the future.
"Yashiro-kun's Solo Lecture" drawn by the same author
"Yashiro-kun's Solo Lecture" is currently being updated at the same time as "Realist Hero's Kingdom Restoration Chronicle". This work is not a reincarnation in another world, but a youth romantic comedy light novel. The protagonist, Yashiro Shigeaki, is a loner who is always alone in high school. He prefers to spend his days alone, not being influenced by anything and following his own path. His heroine, Hanamizawa Kanon, stands out among the group of popular people. The two of them live completely different lives. One day, Yashiro is approached by Kanon, who he should never have had anything to do with, for advice. "I want you to teach me how to spend time alone." In fact, Kanon was tired of living a popular life that fit in with the people around her, and admired Yashiro's way of life, which is always alone. After that, she began to call Yashiro "master" and became attached to him. However, listening to Kanon's troubles means that he will have to deal with other popular people to some extent... This is a slightly unusual youth romantic comedy about "Yashiro, who has mastered solitude" and "Kanon, a popular person who admires solitude."
The anime production company is J.C.STAFF (J.C. Staff Co., Ltd.)
The production company of "Realist Hero's Kingdom Restoration Chronicle" is J.C.STAFF. Founded in 1986, many people may know about it as it has produced many famous anime, but to name a few of the more famous recent anime works...

They also produce theatrical anime, including "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson" and, although it's a bit older, four of the "Slayers the Movie" films.
The character designer is Mai Otsuka
If you've already watched the anime, you'll probably notice at a glance that it's Mai Otsuka who is in charge of character design. She has also worked on character design and animation direction for "Non Non Biyori," "Machikado Mazoku," "Restaurant to Another World," and "Shakugan no Shana." She has worked on character design for anime in a variety of genres, but she is known for designing cute characters.
The manga is drawn by Ueda Satoshi.
The manga version is drawn by Ueda Satoshi. The character design of the anime is quite cute, but the characters in the manga are more handsome and beautiful.
