Story

Synopsis

Urged by her best friend Risa Shiramine to play the hit virtual reality MMO NewWorld Online, high schooler Kaede Honjou creates a large shield warrior named Maple. Terrified of experiencing physical pain, Maple makes an absurd rookie decision: she allocates every single stat point exclusively into Vitality, leaving her with zero agility and zero offensive attack strength. However, her extreme defense build yields unforeseen consequences. By passively enduring poison attacks, biting giant hydras, and absorbing magical barrages, Maple unlocks overpowered skills like Absolute Defense, Devour, and toxic hydra breath. Unintentionally breaking the game's balance, Maple and her friend Sally form a guild, conquering developer tournaments while confusing game masters.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. (Itai no wa Iya nanode Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu.) adapts the popular VRMMO light novel series written by Yuumikan with illustrations by Koin. Produced by Silver Link and directed by Shin Oonuma alongside Mirai Minato, the anime aired during the Winter 2020 season. Celebrated for its lighthearted humor, inventive gaming mechanics, and Kaede Hondo's charming performance as Maple, the series became a massive international hit, earning a second season in 2023.
