Helck

In 2023, Viz Media released a 12-issue English-language edition of Helck, a fantasy manga series originally published in Japan. The story follows a powerful human warrior who inexplicably joins a tournament to become the next Demon King, raising suspicion among the demons he now fights alongside. Written and illustrated by Nanaki Nanao, this series is known for its blend of comedic moments and a gradually unfolding, more serious narrative about prejudice and heroism. It stands out as a complete, self-contained story that subverts typical fantasy tropes.
