Where to Watch BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. Free & Legally

In a world of virtual reality, a timid high school student named Kaede Honjou takes a leap of faith into the popular online game New World Online, following the enthusiastic urging of her friend. Donning the avatar name Maple, she embarks on a journey that will change her life forever. With a peculiar approach, Kaede allocates all her stat points to vitality, prioritizing defense over offense. As a result, Maple's defense becomes remarkably high, rendering her nearly invulnerable to harm.

This peculiar strategy, however, proves to be a game-changer. Maple discovers she can wield overpowered skills like Total Defense, Poison Immunity, and Devour, which, combined with her incredible defense, allow her to decimate enemies with ease. Within a few days, she claims a top-three spot in a server-wide event, earning a reputation as an unstoppable force. Despite her overpowered character, Kaede still has much to learn and discovers as she progresses through the game.

As she navigates the virtual world, Kaede meets new friends and acquaintances, who help her conquer new levels and events. Along the way, she may uncover even more extraordinary skills that defy expectation, further solidifying her status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of New World Online.
