Recommended for ages 13+ and fans of action-packed superhero manga like Naruto, One-Punch Man, Demon Slayer, and the thrilling world of My Hero Academia.
Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice! Set in the same thrilling world as My Hero Academia, this action-packed spin-off follows the story of ordinary citizens who refuse to sit on the sidelines. In a society overflowing with heroes and villains, these self-made protectors - known as Vigilantes - operate outside the law to help those in need.
Meet Koichi Haimawari, an earnest young man whose modest Quirk isn’t enough to make him an official hero. But when a chance encounter with street thugs pulls him into a fight for justice, he teams up with a mysterious ally and an unconventional mentor. Together, they form an unlikely trio trying to make their city a safer place - one back-alley battle at a time.
Filled with high-energy action, moral grey areas, and a refreshing focus on the everyday people of the My Hero Academia universe, Vigilantes, Volume 1 offers a grittier, street-level take on heroism. With dynamic art and compelling characters, this manga is a must-read for fans of the main series and newcomers alike who crave a story about courage, consequences, and what it truly means to be a hero.
