BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. (Manga) Series by Jirou Oimoto, Yuumikan, 夕蜜柑, Koin

Kaede Honjou has never been much of a gamer. So when her best friend, Risa, ropes her into trying out the hit new VRMMO NewWorld Online, her biggest concern is…whether it will hurt! Her solution? To dump all her stat points into defense! She may not have anything in the way of magic, agility, or strength, but her extreme build transforms her from a total noob into a nigh-invulnerable walking fortress the game’s admins never accounted for!

Having advanced to the second stratum, Maple and Sally prepare for the upcoming event: a week-long exploration fest and battle royale. But there’s one attack that no amount of defense can protect Maple against—the admins nerfing her! With limits placed on her invincibility and the viability of her extreme build in question, Maple will have to find new ways to break the game if she wants to keep up with the top rankers!

Maple’s adventures in NewWorld Online’s treasure hunt event continue! As she and Sally explore more of the map, they encounter new friends, such as the kimono-clad Kasumi, and the eggs that dropped from the previous boss hatch to reveal adorable pets. Together with their allies, the two are thrown into battle against unstoppable monsters, rival players...and even each other?!

The second event finishes with a bang, and it’s time to reap the rewards! With upgraded gear and new skills in their arsenal, Maple and Sally prepare to take the next step—buying a home for their freshly founded guild! This is the birth of the legendary Maple Tree, whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it!

Word is the next event is going to focus on guild-vs-guild PVP, and Maple Tree is worried that six people may not be enough. Maple goes to scout out potential new members, but it seems as if extreme builds are drawn to one another!
