Heroism beyond the license

Set in a superpowered society where official heroes are trained and licensed, this manga turns to people acting outside that system. Koichi Haimawari, unable to become an official hero, uses his modest Quirk for good deeds; after an encounter with local thugs, he joins two other unlikely partners. Their attempt to fight wrongdoing raises a clear tension between public rules and personal initiative, while the description signals that courage alone may not be enough. The first volume introduces vigilantism as both a way to help others and a question of what motivates those who operate beyond official sanction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in superpowered societies and hero stories beyond official institutions.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about unlikely teams taking on a challenge together.
  • Those curious about questions of justice, rules, and acting outside established systems.

Book overview

Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice!

In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves? Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes.

Koichi Haimawari couldn't make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they're doing, but they've got the courage--or foolishness--to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave...
