In a world where special abilities divide humanity, two factions clash: heroes stand for justice and monsters embody villainy.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

"From the mind of Akira Hiramoto (Prison School) comes a super-powered story of heroes and villains that's wild, dirty, and unpredictable. Chiaki is desperate to find a job and support his family, but when he sacrifices a job interview in order to stop a train groper, he winds up at the center of a fight between good and evil"--

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Just remember this. In this world of ours, the first to die are those without guts.

A portion of humanity has obtained special abilities, and two groups emerge in conflict. On the side of justice are heroes. On the side of villainy are monsters. For Chiaki, however, all that matters is finding work to support his younger brothers. But when a simple train ride to his latest interview takes a perverse turn, his sense of right leads him down an unexpected and uncomfortable path!

From the mind of Prison School creator Akira Hiramoto comes a raw new story of a man caught between good and evil, lies and truth, and light and shadow!
