My Home Hero – Details
My Home Hero, a manga masterpiece written by Naoki Yamakawa and illustrated by Masashi Asaki, has taken the manga community by storm since its debut in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine in 2017. With its gripping storyline and interesting characters, the series has gained immense attention.
In February 2021, fans were more than excited to learn that the series was approaching its climactic conclusion, as they couldn’t wait any longer to know how the series concludes. The manga has collected 21 volumes, with the first volume hitting shelves in 2017.
The anime is produced by Tezuka Productions and is directed by Takashi Kamei. The series’ scripts are written by Kōhei Kiyasu, and character designs are handled by Masatsune Noguchi and Kenji Kawai compose the music.
The opening theme song, Ai no Uta (Song of Love), is performed by Chiai Fujikawa, while the ending theme song, Decided, is performed by Dizzy Sunfist.
The Plot of My Home Hero
Picture this: a seemingly ordinary salaryman stumbles upon a horrifying secret – his beloved daughter, Reika, is trapped in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend, Nobuto. And it only gets worse when Tetsuo finds out that Nobuto has a chilling history of murdering his previous girlfriends, and plans to do the same to Reika.
In a desperate attempt to protect his daughter, Tetsuo takes matters into his own hands, killing Nobuto. But little does he know that Nobuto’s family ties run deep, as he’s the son of Yoshitatsu Matori, the notorious yakuza kingpin.
With his family’s safety on the line, Tetsuo sets out on a journey, facing off against Matori’s menacing minions, who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth about Nobuto’s disappearance.
My Home Hero wastes no time in taking readers into the anxiety-inducing cat-and-mouse game between a yakuza clan and a desperate family. However, its enthusiasm to deliver the suspense leads the first volume of the manga to sacrifice some much-needed character development.
Readers who want to know more about the backstories may feel like they’re not getting what they came for but the suspenseful approach still stands strong. The urgency of the situation, no doubt, draw the readers in. This action-packed, thriller-style manga has a lot to praise, making My Home Hero an instant must-watch or must-read.
