About This Series
Messiah: The Former Hero Who Saved Another World Dominates the Real World Overflowing With Monsters is an action-packed dark fantasy manga written by Owari Heisei and illustrated by Eri Harada. The story begins with Takeru Yamato, who achieved the legendary status of Messiah after vanquishing the Demon King in an alternate realm, only to be executed by fearful rulers.
Upon his execution, Takeru reawakens in his original world as high school student Takeru Kusanagi. However, modern Earth has transformed radically during his absence: mysterious dimensional gates have ruptured, unleashing hordes of monstrous creatures upon human civilization while magic-wielding hunters fight to survive.
Desiring nothing more than a peaceful life after centuries of bloody warfare, Takeru attempts to keep his godlike magic hidden. Yet as dimensional threats escalate and innocent people are endangered by corrupted hunter factions and invading monsters, he is forced to unsheathe his transcendent powers once again.
Serialized on Shueisha's digital platform Tonari no Young Jump and published in Young Jump Comics tankobon editions, the series has captivated readers with its dark hero protagonist and sleek action artwork.
