This is a pre-order — it is not in stock yet. It ships on or shortly after the release date above, not within our normal handling time. Any FOC date in the title is our distributor order cutoff, not the release date.
PRE-ORDER: We do not cancel pre-order items after purchase. This item has not been released yet (expected release: May 18, 2027). Buying it now reserves yours with our distributor before release, and it ships once it is released and reaches our store. Because it is reserved just for you, it cannot be cancelled after purchase.

An isekai fantasy about becoming a legendary guardian!At 34 years old, Kubo Tamotsu works at an exploitative company only to wake up one day in an unfamiliar world, reincarnated into the body of a six-year-old. Not aware of his innate “Barrier Master” skills, he finds himself on the slave market, and up for auction! When no one bids on him and he’s queued for disposal, he is rescued in the nick of time by Marquess Basam. He will be raised as the Marquess’ personal Barrier Master under a new name, “Linus,” and his talent as a Barrier Master will grow day by day. His troubles never seem to end, as he struggles to survive!
PRE-ORDER ALLOCATION NOTICE: This is a pre-order and is subject to allocation. Allocation means the publisher or distributor may ship retailers fewer copies than were ordered when demand is higher than supply or the print run. Allocation is an industry-standard practice across comics and collectibles distribution and is outside of our control. If our allocation comes in short and we cannot fill your order, you will be notified and refunded in full to your original payment method.
