Eat-Man

A long-running, 19-issue series from MediaWorks, Eat-Man (1996–2003) follows the adventures of Bolt Crank, a mysterious mercenary with the unique ability to consume any object and then manifest it from his body. Created and written by Akihito Yoshitomi, the series blends sci-fi, action, and offbeat humor as Bolt takes on odd jobs in a sprawling, futuristic world. Its inventive premise and Yoshitomi’s distinctive art style helped it stand out in the late-90s manga landscape, earning a cult following for its quirky take on the mercenary genre.
