Zebraman – Manga

grade-school teacher shinichi just can't get any respect. his wife treats him like a nuisance, his daughter ignores his every word, his coworkers think he's pitiful. his students regard him as a bore and an imbecile, and mercilessly bully his son, who wants nothing to do with him as a result. the only place shinichi can find any confidence and self-esteem is alone in his room, where he's secretly sewn together a costume. it's a perfect replica of the suit worn by zebraman, the hero of a third-rate 1970s superhero show that nobody remembers except shinichi — and much to his joy, the new, wheelchair-bound student at his school.at the same time, strange things are occurring throughout the area. the citizens are nervous, and the military has dispatched agents to uncover – or perhaps cover up — the source of the danger. shinichi's urge to sneak out and prowl in his costume, to feel what a hero feels when guarding the night from evil, soon has him dragged into an increasingly bizarre mystery.
