Zetman

桂正和 (Masakazu Katsura) wrote and illustrated Zetman for Shueisha from 2003 to 2014, a 20-issue series that pits two young men with contrasting ideals against a world of superpowered beings known as Players. One inherits the mantle of the titular hero, while the other wields a high-tech suit in the name of justice, their uneasy alliance and rivalry exploring the blurred line between monster and savior. Katsura’s signature blend of sleek character design and kinetic action grounds this dark superhero tale, making it a notable departure from his earlier romantic-comedy work and a cult favorite among seinen readers.
