Synopsis

Tetsuo Tosu, an ordinary salaryman, discovers his daughter, Reika, has been physically abused by her boyfriend, Matori Nobuto. Trying to learn more about him, Tetsuo uncovers Matori's scheme to extort money from Reika's wealthy grandparents, and finds out that he is a member of a crime syndicate, with a history of murdering his former girlfriends.

Filled with rage and fear at the thought of Reika being in danger, Tetsuo ends up killing Nobuto, and with the help of his wife, Kasen, successfully disposes of the body. Now, as the members of the syndicate begin to question Nobuto's sudden disappearance, Tetsuo and Kasen must work together to ensure the safety of their daughter and prevent her from getting involved in the predicament any further.

It might be early to make this review, seeing as there are only 17 chapters out at the moment. But, man this shit is good. The story manages to follow both the stream of consciousness of a character and the actions that take place wonderfully. I find that the writer has a great sense of showing the audience certain things and then doing a full 360. I would say the only critique I have is that you barely see the psychological effects of the actions the character have on themselves, I mean, there is a scene with a dream but that's about it. I highly read more

I've just read 14 chapters but this is an amazing story. It is a thriller that will stand the test of time. The entire set up is 100% believable and the traits of the MC make sense given his passion for murder mysteries and sales abilities. He's a quick thinker and excellent bullshiter and liar. You will get hooked as the stakes are high and he is far from overpowered, using his brain and skills to manipulate all the antagonists involved. If he makes one mistake he is dead, which is what keeps you reading. So far there are no hail marries nor deux ex-machina read more

This manga starts out pretty funny, I'll admit.

The whole gag about how the daughter gives him a gift, but then charges him a deposit for it was hilarious somehow. Throughout the rest of the story, it's straightforward; father does what he has to do to makes sure his only daughter is protected from this asshole. HOWEVER, father becomes crouching idiot, secret badass which is my favorite character trope.

Of course you have background characters and side characters, but I only really cared for maybe five? Six let's say, throughout the whole story. I don't see this as a downside because the characters are at read more

This is my first review and I'm writing this because of how unknow this amazing manga is

Story: 10/10

My Home Hero is a thriller, and excels at that.

It manages to build constant tension, not giving you rest and not letting you to ever get bored, as our protagonist (Tetsuo) is constantly in the verge of being caught, and even if, up until now, he has managed every time to not let his murder be discovered by the yakuza or police, it always is in a very realistic way and he can never get completely rid on suspicion over him. This is also another plus for this work, as the author managed to construct believable situations, in wich characters take believable choices, be it the right one or a mistake, while having a balanced quantity of lucky and unlucky events.

The pacing is also very good. You'll never get bored and when we have some time to relax a little bit, the fear of being caught never disappears, with the author managing to maintain a consistent atmosphere, all the while he make us reflect a constant theme over the manga: How much you're disposed to do for your family?

The story is divided in two parts, and while at the start of the second things seem a little off, it returns to the previous quality very fast

Art: 8/10

It's pretty good, and the more "realistic" style helps a lot with the atmosphere of the manga

Character: 9/10

This manga doesn't have that much complex characters, but it manages to make every one believable, and in some way, like a real person, wich is something very difficult and rare.

Every important character has his motivations and a little of backstory, and while they aren't that much unique, they all feel suficient different, but in the end, as the manga is centered around the plot, the characters are much more than sufficient to do everything it needs to with perfection, but they still need something to be outstanding even if this wasn't a plot-centered manga, so I can't give it a 10/10

A exception to this is our protagonist, Tetsuo. He's a very well written character and has the most development of the cast as the story progresses and he become each time more and more decided to do anything for the well-being of his family, doesn't matter what it costs for others and himselfs, but all the while constantly being haunted by the sins he commited to do so.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I honestly loved this manga, reading everything up to chapter 75 (the latest until now) in 3 days, having reading up to chapter 50 in the first day. I really hope that, with online fan translations now available and the author mantaining this quality, it one day will get the recognition it deserves, and maybe even a anime adaptation, like the other work of this author, I'm Standing on a 1,000,000 lives.
