Back in the June 2022 installment of Weekly Young Magazine, we learned about the anime adaptation of the My Home Hero manga. The show saw an April 2023 debut and it had a live-action TV series and feature film following that as well. Now, the manga itself is getting ready to draw to a close as it’s been revealed that it has five more chapters left before it’ll end. A final volume will be solicited later.
The series from Naoki Yamakawa and Masashi Asaki began in 2017 as serialized in Weekly Young Magazine. The series had seventeen volumes out as of the anime being announced and it now has twenty-four volumes released in Japan with a circulation of four million copies. It’s released in English through Kodansha and in French through Kurokawa.

Plot Concept: Tetsuo Tosu, a 47-year-old office worker, and his wife, Kasen, love their daughter Reika more than anything in the world, even though she has been through a rebellious phase. So when Tetsuo visits Reika after she’s started to live on her own, and she won’t explain how she got bruises like she’s been beaten, he decides to hide and find out what’s going on. Enter Reiko’s boyfriend, Nobuto Matori, a brute who has beaten his ex-girlfriend to death and has ties to the yakuza. After he sees that Nobuto is the one responsible for the wounds on Reika’s face, Tetsuo ends up killing the man. And so begins the fight of wits over life or death between “a normal, weak, middle-aged man” who is prepared to do anything to protect his family, and the fearless fighters from the underworld.
