Synopsis: Koichi Haimawari is a dull college student who aspires to be a hero but has given up on his dream. Although 80 per cent of the world’s population has superhuman powers called Quirks, few are chosen to become heroes and protect people. Everything changes for Koichi when he and Pop Step are saved by the vigilante Knuckleduster and get recruited to become vigilantes themselves!
Originally launched in Jump Giga in August 2016 before moving to Shonen Jump+ online, the series wrapped up in May 2022 after 15 volumes. VizMedia publishes the official English translation.
