Synopsis

Shuuto Katsuragi is a shrimp that can't catch a break. He wants to emulate his favorite super hero, Mr. Thunder, but instead he gets teased all the time for his height and he can't win any fights. The one thing that keeps him going is his love for super heroes, which he shares with his classmate Mirea Mizushima. Little does he know that she's about to make his dreams come true by tricking him into participating in her sister's experiments!

For the 4 volumes only localized into english pre-my hero academia & pre-one punch man, this is the best I've ever read with similar themes & characters I enjoy.

I can not stress enough how much potential these series can have

Preliminary (40/65 eps)
Honestly not the best of choices especially if u r kinda new to manga. It's supposed to be a fusion of humor and action, failing in both.

The art work though is praise-worthy and is wat drew me to this manga. Expect nothing and u should be able find this entertaining
