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

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 plot seems kinda cliche and the jokes are rarely funny (atleast to me). If you are the more intellectual type this is definitely not for you. 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

Both follow characters who primarily belong to an evil organisation; even though they are not really evil themselves.
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.
