Hitorijime My Hero

Masahiro Setagawa has had a rough go of it. With a reputation as a small-time delinquent and a home life that leaves much to be desired, he’s found himself entangled with a local gang, always taking the fall for their antics. His only solace comes in the form of Kousuke Ohshiba, a former delinquent turned high school teacher who has inexplicably taken Masahiro under his wing. What starts as a mentorship, with Kousuke acting as Masahiro's self-proclaimed "bear killer" and protector, soon begins to blossom into something far more tender and complicated. This charming coming-of-age story explores the quiet moments and dramatic turns in the lives of these two men as they navigate their evolving relationship. As Masahiro grapples with his past and Kousuke confronts his own feelings, the series delicately portrays the challenges and joys of finding love and acceptance in unexpected places, all while surrounded by a quirky cast of friends and fellow delinquents.
