HIKARI-MAN (Omnibus) Vol. 5-6

About

Hikari's reckless fight with a junk shop owner forces him to confront what he's been avoiding: he's been using his powers selfishly. The realization arrives just in time — across Japan, people contaminated by light are transforming into Electric Zombies, rampaging through cities under the control of a force Hikari doesn't yet understand. Hideo Yamamoto escalates from character study to full-scale crisis as the series pivots from Hikari's personal failings to a threat that demands the hero he hasn't been willing to become. The moment when a reluctant protagonist stops running from responsibility — delivered with Yamamoto's characteristic brutality and moral seriousness.
