RATMAN GN (2025)

"Shuto Katsuragi is a shrimp that can't catch a break. He wants to emulate his favorite super hero, Mr. Thunder, but instead he gets teased all the time for his height and he can't win any fights. The one thing that keeps him going is his love for super heroes, which he shares with his classmate Mirea Mizushima. Little does he know that she's about to make his dreams come true by tricking him into participating in her mother's experiments! "

"Even with a successful caper under his belt, Shuto Katsuragi is still not very comfortable with his role as the dark anti-hero 'Ratman' for the evil secret organization 'Jackal.' Deciding to take advantage of Ratman's abilities, he tries his hand at some vigilante heroism on his off time from the organization. The first attempt goes well, and he even shows up in the papers as a 'mysterious, unnamed hero.' The second attempt does not go nearly as well, as he is mistaken for the criminal instead of the guy trying to stop the crime. The misunderstandings continue when he tries to break up a fight between members of a hero sentai team. He has to knock them out to do it, and a late-coming Ankaiser pounces on the excuse to pick a fight of his own! "

"His battle with top-class hero Ankaiser taking a turn for the worse, Shooto quickly winds up beaten and knocked unconscious. But that isn't the end of the fight, as the latent animal instincts of Ratman wake and beat Ankaiser to a pulp. However, Shooto becomes depressed that the world of heroism that he has always admired is 'just another business.' What new heroic decisions will Shooto have to make? "
