What am I even being a hero for...?
About
【Synopsis】
The world is locked in a fierce conflict between the "Hero Association," which protects order, and the "Villain Association," which plots to overthrow the establishment.
Magiku, an S-Class hero who manipulates devastating gravity.
With his high skill, overwhelming inclusiveness, and upright personality, he has gained immense popularity and spends his days exhausted as the "face" of the Hero Association.
However, behind the perfect smile he shows the media, his mind and body are reaching their limit.
Daily interviews, the sound of camera shutters, excessive public expectations, and the adults of the Association who treat him only as a "money-making product"—.
The "Emotion" and "Conviction" that are the source of his abilities are worn thin, and mysterious, intense headaches and poor health begin to eat away at him.
"What am I fighting for—?"
Tormented by the limits of playing the ideal hero, Guest appears before Magiku. A rookie hero he cares for, or a villain to be defeated...?
What will happen next?!
