Shuto Katsuragi is a short guy, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming that he'll someday become a superhero. One day, his wish comes true –- Shuto gets amazing powers and a bad-ass costume, but he's been recruited as one of the 'bad guys.' Where did it all go wrong? But even that wont stop him from trying to be a hero.

With some hilarious tongue in cheek humor, Sekihiko Inui cheerfully skewers Japanese and American superhero comics in Ratman. Sure, it's filled with gratuitous fanservice and crazy comedy, but Ratman also offers some smart, sly satire about the true meaning of heroism in the age read more

forced to be villain and leader of "Evil Organizations" when all they wanted to be were heroes

in big order you might think otherwise due to the description but once you read you may agree
The similarities between Ratman and Accel World are not so straightforward. In both mangas, the main character is offer a chance to escape their normal life and enter a world where they can live out their dream every single day. In both cases, the main character is drag into the new world by a girl which he ultimately fall in loves with. Both main characters are not one would say as the "ideal" type.

In Ratman, Shuto is given a gadget watch that allows him to become a "superhero" which had always been his dream. While in Accel World, Haruyuki is given a program which allows him to enter the world of Acceleration, and be with the one he loves and also gives him a chance to change himself for the better.
