I Am a Hero
Apr. 2nd, 2011 02:55 pmA review.
Techs; I Am a Hero is a slice of life/horror/social commentary manga written and drawn by Hanazawa Kengo, published by Shogakukan in Big Comic Spirits magazine since 2009. Currently at five volumes, it is still on-going but with no set date for any future releases. Hero is the story of 35-year old Hideo Suzuki, an assistant manga artist and social wayside, who struggles to be the lead character in his own life in spite of having few, if any, redeeming values towards himself, his girlfriend, or reality in general. Perverse, a loser by any standards, and trapped by social norms, not to mention suffering from severe psychological handicaps and hallucinations, the manga follows Hideo on the slow climb from normal Japanese loser in life through the maybe dellusional/maybe real breakdown of the world around him.
And I'm not sure I get it. In fact, I may hate it.
( There's no falling down a rabbit hole; instead the rabbit comes out and bites you )
