Plot[edit]

Stage of the beginning of the story,
Miharadai Nerima-ku, Tokyo

I am a Hero[edit]

The story begins with Hideo Suzuki, a 35-year-old manga artist assistant, whose life seems to be stuck around his exhausting but low-paying job, unfulfilled dreams, strange hallucinations and unsatisfying relationships. He sees himself as a supporting character in his own life, and has low self-esteem, resulting in frustration.

One day, the world as Hideo knows it is shattered by the presence of a disease (nicknamed ZQN) that turns people into homicidal maniacs who resemble and behave like zombies, and whose first instinct is to attack and devour the nearest human. Armed with only his sporting shotgun, he runs for his life, meeting strangers along the way. For a while, he and his companions struggle to stay alive, while questioning their moral choices. In the end, only three of them remain and drive all the way to the top of Mt. Fuji to be saved.

I am a Hero in Osaka[edit]

I am a Hero in Osaka is set at the beginning of the ZQN outbreak in Osaka. This manga is centered around a part-time manager named Tatsuo with a love for motorcycles and his gasoline-fueled journey to rescue his girlfriend Kozue, stranded on an airplane at Kansai International Airport, as well as Kozue's fight for survival in an increasingly hostile environment. Against sinking odds, the couple do their utmost to reunite with the other.

I am a Hero in Ibaraki[edit]

I am a Hero in Ibaraki is set at the beginning of the ZQN outbreak in Ibaraki. The focus of this story is about an isolated high-school student and his dog struggling to survive, not only against the ZQN, but also that of his infected family and childhood friends.

I am a Hero in Nagasaki[edit]

I am a Hero in Nagasaki is set at the beginning of the ZQN outbreak in Nagasaki. The manga consists of the story of Yamada, a high-school dropout turned photographer who suffers from vivid hallucinations brought upon by a form of Anthropophobia and Nirei Aya, a Kyūdō national champion and Yamada's former classmate. The story documents their journey to Hashima Island, a perceived place of safety. However, their journey will not only be threatened by simply the ZQN, but also from their fellow humans.

Characters[edit]

  • Hideo Suzuki: A down-on-his-luck manga artist struggling to publish his own work while maintaining both a day job as another artist's assistant and a strained relationship with his girlfriend. Hideo is slightly paranoid and mentally disturbed, often having conversations with an imaginary figure named Yajima, hallucinating the presence of faces around him, and fantasizing about how conversations with his co-workers and girlfriend should proceed. Though he was bitten on the hand by his girlfriend, the bite did not break the skin and draw blood, narrowly avoiding infection. He seems to have gained the mysterious ability to manipulate the movements of the infected like a puppeteer. After Hiromi leaves, Hideo travels into the city and gets involved in a four-way standoff between himself, the Kurusu Cult, a group of survivors, and the giant creature that Hiromi joined with.
  • Hayakari Hiromi: A teenage girl who is empathetic towards the undead, shown to apparently be able to kill them by giving them closure with their life. Later, she is infected but still retains most of her personality. Post infection, she loses all the superficial symptoms of the infected (protruding black veins, bloodshot eyes). She eventually has sex with Hideo before allowing the infection to take her and joins the infected hivemind, allowing herself to be consumed by a massive building sized creature, whereupon her more base desires take control and she aids the creature in its attempt to murder Hideo, since he refuses to willingly join the infected. At the last second before devouring him, however, Hiromi's original self fights its way back to the surface and she convinces the creature to let Hideo live, under the pretense of allowing him to suffer more.
  • Yabu Oda: A former nurse who was reduced to the role of a sex slave for the group staying at the Gotemba Premium Outlets. She escapes with Hideo and Hiromi, and she understands the significance of Hiromi's condition in potentially understanding and curing the disease. She and Hideo have sex, whereupon she discovers that she is pregnant with the child of one of the men from the outlet. She was subsequently infected by an infant and forced Hiromi to kill her and the child by crushing them in a nearby garbage truck. However, it is revealed after Hiromi joins the infected that she was subconsciously glad that she was allowed to kill Oda, since she was jealous over her and Hideo having sex.
  • Kurusu: The main human antagonist. A young adult who gained superhuman strength, regeneration, and speed following his infection by his mother, whom he beat to death in an online video to display his powers and how to kill the infected. He rallies disenfranchised youths via a message board to 'create a new world'. He was assumed to have been killed in a three-way fight with a fellow immune person known as the 'Naked Emperor' and a member of his cult named Takeshi, who had gained powers similar to his own. He later appears to Hideo after Hideo is partially swallowed by a zombie. He reappears with his cult in Tokyo trying to overthrow a surviving group, having survived his fight with Takeshi and the Naked Emperor. Before he gained his powers, Kurusu had spent most of his life in a comatose state, unable to communicate yet fully aware of the world around him.
  • Kurusu's cult: Disenfranchised youths who communicate on message boards and worship Kurusu. They mostly stay at home until are recruited by Kurusu himself and survived the outbreak by virtue of being shut-ins.
  • Other than the major characters, two characters have been used to display the ZQN epidemic in other parts of the world as they and the people around them fall to the infection. Kazu, Hideo's colleague, experiences the outbreak in Taipei and is infected together with his girlfriend. Jan, a Belgian, went back to Brussels to find his son, where he suddenly lost his memory inexplicably. After travelling around, seeing several zombies and a mutated one, he ends up in the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, and his fate is left unknown when the church is presumably destroyed by airstrikes as he begins to show signs of infection. Another sidestory follows an immune little girl in Italy who is trapped in a belltower with a group of zombies, only to be rescued by another immune man, who eats the flesh of the infected, and who takes it upon himself to protect and raise the little girl.

One day, after returning from work late in the evening, Hideo witnesses a car crash into a nearby pedestrian, killing the victim instantly. However, despite severe injuries, the victim stands up and walks away. Hideo questions whether this is another one of his hallucinations, but strange events begin happening around him which he blames on his stress and over-time work. The next morning Hideo goes to his girlfriend Tetsuko's apartment (after having a falling out earlier) to apologize. When peering through the mail slot, he finds that she has transformed into a monstrous, zombie-like creature, and she lunges at him.

After a brief struggle with Tetsuko in which he is bitten on the hand (which didn't break the skin), Hideo manages to watch news about an outbreak where people start to bite each other. After some contemplation, Hideo performs a mercy killing on the zombified Tetsuko, then sets out to his manga studio. Along the way, he witnesses many scenes of zombies attacking people. As he reaches the studio, Hideo sees Mitani clubbing one of their colleagues to death and they work together to kill another zombie colleague. Upon learning that there are more zombies in their district, and that their numbers are rapidly increasing, Hideo follows Mitani out of Shakuji towards Nerima Train Station to escape Tokyo and head for Hanno.

A zombie infects a passenger, and soon almost all the passengers in the car are infected. After the train screeches to a halt, Hideo hails a taxicab and shares it with a couple and an African American foreigner, who are all infected. The foreigner is dropped off at Yokota Air Base and is shot by a guard. The signs of infection begin to manifest in the couple and the cab driver (who was infected by his grandson). Hideo kicks the couple out and the cab driver succumbs to the infection and attacks him, but Hideo is protected by the plastic taxicab partition. The taxi collides head-on with a vehicle driven by another zombie. Running off the highway, Hideo comes across an abandoned amusement park near Mt. Fuji and passes out in the underground entrance. After waking up, Hideo decides to traverse the nearby woods. He begins to lose his courage after his cellphone he is using for light loses charge, and experiences various hallucinations before falling asleep. The next day, he wakes up unharmed, and discovers that he is in the Sea of Trees near Mount Fuji. While urinating, he finds another survivor: a student named Hiromi Hayakiri.

Takashi, unexpectedly surviving his apparent death, heads to the school, where he meets a man similar to Kurusu called the 'Naked Emperor'. The Naked Emperor talks about how he and Takashi have 'risen above human beings'. They fight (Takashi's physique has improved significantly) until Kurusu interrupts them. He throws Fuki's severed head to the field, enraging Takashi and starting a fight between the three. The next morning, Kurusu's group, with an addition of survivors found in the school, contemplate where to go next. Takashi is shown to be victorious in his fight with Kurusu and the Naked Emperor, donning Kurusu's name, clothing, and sporting long hair, directing the group to Tokyo.

Chasing the mass, Hideo makes it to Tokyo and is given a kayak by the fisherman, trading his shotgun. Hiromi is integrated into the mass, communicating with the people inside.

Asada is surrounded by Kurusu's group, which forces him to lead them to the helicopter. Hideo is chased by an infected and runs up an under-construction building near Asada's building. As more infected chase him, he desperately makes it up a construction crane. Hideo finds out that one of the infected promised Yabu to protect him, and she fends off the other infected. Asada kills a mass of his followers using the building's emergency carbon dioxide and orders his insurgents to the roof. Hideo shoots the mass' eyes, enraging Hiromi.
22 March 30, 2017[46]ISBN978-4091893796
Part of the mass starts moving towards Hideo. Asada survives and makes it to the roof, getting on the helicopter with Tomei, a member of Kurusu's group with a pilot's license. Korori's group attacks Kurusu, and Hideo, mistaking them as bullies, shoots Korori. However, one of Hideo's manga absorbs the impact. Korori's getting shot makes one of his members, who is like Kurusu, lose control and she absorbs Kurusu, helping to fend off the advancing infected. Asada is killed by one of his subordinates, whom he abandoned. Korori and a child manage to escape on the helicopter, along with the auntie they met, and they head towards the Izu Islands. Hideo is nearly suffocated by the mass, but Hiromi spares him, hoping to make him suffer more by staying alive. After the incident, Hideo is left alone in Tokyo. The infected have all been absorbed by the mass, which is completely dormant. Nature starts taking over Tokyo, and Hideo, who is getting lonely and hoping for rescue, starts running out of food and a garden he starts fails. However, Hideo discovers a looted gun shop with tools to make buckshots and succeeds, using it to hunt.

'El manga que invento nuevos tipos de zombis (muchos)'
Tipo de manga Seinen survival horror zombi apocalypse Gore y actualmente en emisión.
Y presupongo que a nadie le importa pero se a hecho recientemente una película basada en el manga.
Curiosamente el punto mas fuerte de este manga es a la vez su punto mas flojo, a diferencia de walking dead (hablo del cómic) el cual deja bastante de lado el tema de los zombis, y se centra en las relaciones interpersonales, este manga innova en los zombis en si,

Un buen inicio de año, con lectura zombie.
Una gran introducción para este manga de zombies.
Me gusto bastante por las siguientes razones:
1. El reflejo de la sociedad asiática esta muy bien plasmado.
2. La frustración de nuestro protagonista la sientes como tuya.
3. La traducción y el uso de palabras antisonantes y sexuales, no caen en lo vulgar.
4. El final es perturbador.
5. Las alucinaciones del protagonista, dios mio, macabras.
Lo malo: En ocasiones tenia capítulos que no aportaban mucho a la tram

A ver cómo puedo resumir mis impresiones acerca de éste manga.
Lo cogí de la biblioteca, pues es acerca de Zombies ( o infectados de algún tipo incierto) y porqué una amiga de aquí le otorgó buena nota.
Éste primer volumen basa casi todas sus páginas en presentarnos el que será el protagonista de la historia, su entorno y situación laboral y social. El problema que he encontrado es que los personajes me han caído muy mal, son entre patéticos y medio chalados, porqué una cosa es intentar impregnar

- Se establece un gran prólogo en el que se intuye qué puede pasar aunque no pase realmente nada.
- La red de personajes se establece para perderse al final del tomo. Nada seguirá en pie. Sólo su protagonista y su miedo. Sólo los fantasmas sobreviven.
- El diseño de los zombies es raro hasta decir basta. Aún desconozco sus atributos. También sus flaquezas.
- El personaje principal es al antihéroe perfecto. Pero empatizar con él es difícilismo. No me importa que muera en el tomo 2.

Slow to start but with some amazing payoffs, this is one of the best zombie books I've ever read. Utterly horrific in parts, astoundingly human in others, it plays with the conventions and expectations of the genre in surprising and effective ways and has the tendency to rip out your heart and stomp all over it at least once a volume. There's a fine line between hope and despair that a lot of zombie stories either ignore or just get wrong, but I Am A Hero veritably dances on that line. The art i..more

No me ha hecho nada de gracia :((
Me han gustado esos momentos en los que Hideo se pone a filosofar y el final, pero nada más.

I first read the first ten volumes of this series years ago, and whenever I try to picture what the perfect zombie outbreak story should be, scenes from this manga would come to mind. Last weekend I tried to pick up where I left off, but it was so good I had to go back to reread it from the beginning. It's got everything - fear, disgust, suspense, thrills, despair, relief, love, loss, drama and character development.
The pacing is slow at the start - it begins with the average life of a slightly

En este primer tomo vamos a conocer a Hideo, donde es rechazado por una editorial, tiene una novia que lo quiere mucho pero que todavía se habla con su ex novio, y con alguno que otro problema emocional, y de esos problemas emocionales nace un amigo imaginario, que le habla a lo largo de este tomo dándole algunos concejos.
En este tomo vamos a ver odios, amor, miedos, intranquilidad, muchas emociones que el personaje principal nos va hacer percibir por medio de Hideo.

Leider konnte ich mit diesem Manga nichts anfangen. Ich hatte mich sehr auf eine Zombi-Apocalypse-Geschichte gefreut. Leider habe ich die Abgedrehtheit und Merkwürdigkeit dieses Mangas nicht verstanden oder zu schätzen gewusst.
Mich konnte weder die Story noch der Zeichenstil überzeugen. Am negativsten war aber die Charaktergestaltung. Ich fand alle Charaktere extrem unsympathisch, teils psychisch krank und ich hatte wirklich so gar kein Interesse etwas von ihrem Leben zu erfahre

I got about halfway through this book. The main character is pretty scatter-brained, which I don't mind so much, but the way he talks about women had me feeling pretty uncomfortable. I understand the story can progress and it's probably good, but I couldn't get past the amount of times he said 'pussy' or kept trying to pressure his lady friend (not sure if it's his girlfriend?) into sex when she obviously didn't want to.

Recommends it for: people looking for original zombie story
HEADS UP: I will be reviewing the entire series, however, I WON'T include any spoilers, i'll just talk about my thoughts on the series without covering events so as not to spoil anything important.
This series starts out pretty slow for those looking for action. The first couple of books are mostly character building. I actually enjoyed this, because I like series where the readers knows about the character's lives and personalities, which is very rare for manga. The only problem is, the charact

I am not entirely sure what to think of this manga. Why did I read it I hear you say? Well, not too long ago I saw the trailer for the Live Action movie of this one, and I was interested, it seemed really awesome.
Sadly, the manga just plainly sucks. At least the first volume. I am not sure what to think of the main character, he has delusions, and talks to them (which to me says that he should seek help), he has a girlfriend, though at one point I was confused, it looked like he was cheating, u

Honestly horror is not really my thing, I liked many, but still it's not my thing. I've got to give it at most 4 stars if I'm really into rating, which already means that I really liked it. But 'I Am A Hero volume 1' is quite different for a horror manga. It's kind of slow-paced, which is really my thing.
I generally like slow manga which lets me contemplate and see things through. And like this manga seems to deliberately being quite contemplative, it shows many silent sequences and quiet moment

Hideo is a struggling manga artist, insecure in his relationship with Tekko because her last boyfriend was a famous manga artist. He has to reassure himself that he is a hero (a play on words with his name) and that the protagonist of his manga is not boring. Between working crazy hours at the studio and popping in to visit Tekko, Hideo barely has time to pay attention to the news.. which means he barely notices when the zombie apocalypse starts.
The first half of this manga is quite strange, as

Manga ini.. Bagaimana harus kukatakan yah? Aneh mungkin adalah kata yang tepat untuk mendefinisikannya. Sureal mungkin adalah kata lain yang bisa dipakai.
Dari beberapa halaman awal saja Kengo Hanazawa sudah berhasil menciptakan karakter yang 'kuat'. Bukan dalam artian karakter yang punya badan six packs dan berotot, tapi karakter yang, hmm.. belum pernah saya lihat.
Hideo Suzuki, karakter utama komik ini, adalah seorang asisten mangaka yang berusaha untuk kembali sukses. Ya, si Hideo ini duluny

I'm posting this regarding the first few volumes, as volume 1 is mostly setup only. Things don't really get going until volume 2, so if you're not sure whether you'll like this or not, get the first two books together. My ratings are per book, though.
The artwork takes a bit of getting used to, but I found it a lot more interesting than most of the art style one typically sees in Manga. Also, Hideo is a horrible protagonist - and that's kind of the point, in that he is not really a protagonist. H

Zombies.
Un apocalipsis realista, un apocalipsis en un Japón donde la cultura es tan diferente a la nuestra y donde las decisiones siempre serán diferentes.
Un manga que no se me antojaba, sí, otra historia mas de Zombies. Solo quise comprar el primer tomo de este manga que para mi era otra historia mas. Mi peor error fue haber comprado solo un tomo ya que al finalizar el primero necesitaba seguir. y es que estos 'zombies' tienen algo que los hace ser interesantes pero, para mi lo mas importante e

I dropped this manga at least three times because I found the very first chapter boring. I like slice of life, but only when it has drama and tragedy in it. That being said, I don't really like slice of life to begin with.
I had to go surfing on other anime/manga-oriented websites to discover this is actually about zombies. Now the MangaFox.com synopsis did not tell me that! So I read it again and I only read and pretended to care about the characters because I knew I would be rewarded with zombi

Hideo tiene 35 años, siente que la vida no arranca para el, es un artista de apoyo d eun mangaka, no sabe si esta enamorado, tiene dudas, esta aburrido..o sea, es normal, pero también tiene alucinaciones visuales en medio de una epidemia que empieza de a poco..
La mitad de la gente que hablaba de este manga esperaba mas, la otra sigue encantada y agradezco estar en los últimos, me gusta Hideo, es un personaje real, lleno de errores, miedos, dudas aunque el quiere ser un héroe..para el mismo.

So this is a story of the start of a zombie apocalypsis. This is definitely an adult manga, the first time I read it some scenes were off putting to me, this second time I was prepared and I enjoyed it more (hence my rating went up). Main character is a mangaka (I really like the story lines of mangakas) who is going through hard times and is currently an assistant; Hideo sees himself as a secondary character, and is generally shy and very socially awkward.. basically we firs

Rating: 3.5 / 5*
The start of this manga is really weird. But give it a chance. Volume 1 involves a lot of setting up and characterization. Once you are past this, the story picks up. It did help me that I knew a bit of a background to the manga - that way I know that I am expecting something exciting soon.
Anyway, I like how they have set up the plot and story. The mangaka feeling a secondary character in his own life translates this over to his work. He is lost and frustrated - and I'll choose

I must say that this manga surprised me. There were two reasons why I bought this on the first place. First, its cover mentions this as winner of 58th Shogakukan Award, a very prestigious award given to outstanding manga. Second, there's a little reference to something zombie-like on the typography of the title, which reminds me of 'The Walking Dead'.
However, I found the first 200+ pages quite boring. Hideo Suzuki's life, the protagonist, feels just like normal people. Even though throughout th

I liked it. A lot. I didn't know anything about the author or the story so everything was awesome and new for me. Thank you, Ceci for giving me this as birthday present! :D
Hideo's life was very interesting to follow, although he couldn't say the same. The visions when he's alone and the zombie stuff were a very fun thing to see among the hard mangaka life. Obviously I ran to buy the second volume as soon as it was released in Mexico. Good job in the adaptation, Panini Manga.

Primero: Esta historia deja cabo sueltos. Es para que sepas en lo que te estás metiendo.
Bueno, ahora sí: te adelanto un par de cosas. Este tomo es introductorio y lo que esperabas ver no se va a desarrollar hasta en el siguiente entrega. Partiendo desde ahi, solo hay que decir que la historia es entretenida y hasta ahí no más, porque conforme vas avanzando vas notando que su principal atractivo es su único punto fuerte: el dibujo (y eso hasta a veces se deja de lado para implementar modelos 3-d

I read this one in Japanese, and it uses a lot of terms I wasn't used to, so occasionally I was a bit lost. The story pretty slow-moving, and so the horror elements take a long time coming. We get instead a lot of character development for the main character, whose name means 'hero' but whose personality is pretty awful. 'Hero' is a manga artist, but he has kind of failed at his craft so far, and he is hyper jealous and nasty. And he is insane and has an invisible 'friend' who he chats with and/..more
