BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. (Manga) #5

by Jirou Oimoto (Visual Art), Yuumikan (Original Creator), Koin (Visual Art)

Word is the next event will focus on large-scale guild PVP, and that’s bad news for Maple Tree. With only six members, they’re sure to be at a disadvantage— and the other top guilds are even putting together anti- Maple strategies! Fortunately, the gang picks up two new recruits: Mai and Yui, twin sisters bearing all-strength builds who’ll pack quite a punch after a little power leveling. But with Maple evolving into even more of a literal monster, will she be a bad influence on the newbies?

Such a fun series, I'm just waiting for when the manga goes past the anime to see what happens.

[Ashe Catlin]

I'm loving this series, it's just so fluffy and nice to read. There is no serious issues or overcomplicated plot, just a bunch of friends having fun exploring and RPG.

We get some new recruits who like Maple love extreme builds so she takes them to level up and they end up with these diamond hammers, super sweet girls. Maple also gets another weird powerup, this time it's machine god, which is as ridiculous as it sounds. She's essentially a flying tank that can shoot guns in all directions, we get our second tournament set up in this as well, I look forward to the Maple Tree take on the Flame team.

So, I read the first book, not this one, but I have watched the anime and loved it.

Anyway, I don't think they're in this volume, but are Mai and Yui's bears, Tsukimi and Yukimi, a refrence to Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Manga, Vol. 1?

The video game details are still a lot of fun. The action is good too. There is not much happening with the story but we did get a couple new characters. I hope that the big guild event dials up the story and moves things forward.

It’s just getting… boring/repetitive. I’m hoping more inter-guild conflicts will spice things up.

[Mike Harris]

Love the manga, really captures all of the fun of the series.

More extremes builds join the guild. Preparing for a guild war. More skills and equipment is unlocked.
The lead up to Machine God is great.

Maple's guild prepares for the fourth event - guild vs. guild combat. The guild gains two new members.
