A gripping manga set in a world where heroes protect the public… or so it seems.
When a street-level cop inherits a villain’s power, the truth behind justice begins to unravel.
In a world where superheroes arrive from another realm to defend humanity, the line between protector and predator blurs. Villain Actor Vol. 2, from the acclaimed team behind Volume 1 – writer Mikumo Seto and artist Kentaro Harada – dives deeper into this thrilling reversal of expectations.
Ayumu Mashiro, once resigned to life as an ordinary police officer, now wields the terrifying power of Zero – the most feared villain in history. A mysterious voice guides his every move as he uncovers the unsettling truth: the heroes aren’t who they seem. In the explosive conclusion of Volume 1, Ayumu becomes Public Enemy No. 1, hunted relentlessly by the world’s vaunted heroes.
Volume 2 picks up with Ayumu on the run – his reputation in ruins, powers beyond comprehension, and the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Think The Boys ripped into a manga format: grounded, gritty, and unafraid to expose the shadows behind the capes. Remember, wielding the powers of a villain, doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero.
Perfect for fans of seinen and supernatural manga, this first volume sees Ayumu Mashiro transforming into Zero, the monstrous villain that once destroyed the world!
Ayumu Mashiro has given up on his dream of being a hero and settled down into the mundane life of a police officer… until one day he transforms into the legendary villain known as Zero! Now a mysterious voice is guiding him as he’s thrown into the battle between good and evil!
