Synopsis

The plot revolves around the Junk, a system which acts as a super-suit, giving the user super strength, agility, and weapons systems, as well as some communication capabilities. Currently, there are two units in the world, both in Japan; one white unit and one darker, black unit. The eye style, according to Asamiya, "Is a mono-eye style.... but there's actually two eyes." The suits require an eight hour charge up period, and only one hour of performance is delivered. Though the suits are free, users must fill out a report and send it to the manufacturer, which has not yet been named.

Not for the faint of heart but a great Superhero origin story. To this day, this is the best manga I've read. Very obscure but well worth the find.

Also, your not supposed to like the main character in the beginning. Just thought I'd add that in case one of you turns away in disgust. He does redeem himself though, you feel like you grow with the character while reading it.

If your a Superhero fan and you want a unique and different Superhero ...

STORY: Alright, the story of Junk is fairly simple and has been sort of overdone in manga and anime throughout the years. It's your simple "teenage boy gets suit and starts kicking butt" manga like the Guyver and other things like that. That's why I had to ulitmately give it a seven, although it is well done and does add some ...

tl;dr: A henshin hero manga that has a few good moments, but overall has a directionless plot and unlikable characters.

This manga is essentially a dark tonkatsu hero type story. The protagonist, Hiro, was originally a shut in due to being bullied at high school. He then receives a device through the mail called Junk, which lets him transform into a masked superhuman. He goes on a power trip and does all sorts of crazy things such as severely hurting his bullies. But it’s not like he really has any sort of goal and he’s not especially heroic, so he just ends up using the suit ...
