About this series
Evil Heroes sets its story in a world plagued by murderous monstrous beings known as Evils, where human survival depends entirely on superpowered defenders named Heroes. High school protagonist Hideo loses his family during an aviation disaster linked to hero battles, leading him to idolize these legendary figures while harboring unhealed grief. However, an unexpected reunion with his presumed-dead classmate Shoji shatters his faith in the established order.
Shoji reveals that the revered Heroes are not selfless guardians, but dangerous entities concealing sinister motives behind public adoration. Together with allies who have seen behind the veil, Hideo begins investigating the true origins of the Heroes' powers and their connection to the monster outbreaks. As hidden clashes escalate in urban shadows, the boundary between righteous savior and predatory monster grows blurred.
Original creator Yasunori Mitsunaga constructs a tense narrative filled with sharp plot turns, complemented by Yoshimitsu Iruka's crisp artwork. The battle choreography emphasizes impact and suspense, balancing high-stakes superhero mechanics with subverted genre tropes. Each chapter uncovers another layer of political cover-ups and corporate sponsorship surrounding hero operations.
