Hero Heel by Makoto Tateno

Hero Heel Vol. 1 by Makoto Tateno

For an aspiring actor, any gig is one more rung on the ladder to fame. But for rookie actor Minami, the climb to super-stardom was a lot more glamorous in his dreams. Cast as the heroic lead in a TV superhero program, Minami takes to his job half-heartedly – surely a mere children’s show is no place to fully showcase his talent? Despite Minami’s lack of enthusiasm, he’s soon lured by the obvious “talents” of his co-star, Sawada. Things get messy on the set when Minami stumbles upon Sawada lip-locking another guy – throwing him into a fit of disgust and confusion. Did he just witness the casting couch in action? Or is Minami actually falling for his ice-cold co-star?

After resorting to out-and-out blackmail to satisfy his desire, Minami realizes his failure to live up to the hero he portrays on television – but the damage may already be done. In real life, he and his co-star Sawada now resemble the arch-enemies they play on “Trans-Dimensional Warriors Airguard.” Despite the show’s success, the icy air between Sawada and Minami is starting to become noticeable. Enter Takagi, an ex-boyfriend and former co-star of Sawada’s, who joins the cast to play a special guest role. Will Sawada and Takagi’s complicated history create even more tension on the set?
