The Amazing Tales of Zetman

Let’s learn about Zetman Manga, one of the best, most original stories to come out of Japan. What begun in 2002 quickly spiraled into a rather well liked set of stories that’s spawned Anime’s and many other cool merchandising properties.

Zetman Manga is a simple tale, but one that is very well told thanks to the incredible artwork and well-loved characters. A humble story, brilliant artwork and a hero everyone seems to love. Welcome to the world of Zetman Manga!

Zetman Manga traces the story of two heroes, ZET and Alphas, both young men who are blessed with the ability to transform into powerful beings. Their lives are turned upside down when they come under attack by deformed creatures known as Players. It all gets deep, dark and very exciting from here, so let’s explore these heroes’ lives.

Jin, or ZET has a circular lump on his left hand as a result of being experimented on by the N.E.T foundation – which were looking to create the perfect being. Living alone and in absolute poverty, Jin struggles to survive. He tries to settle into a normal human life with a girlfriend, but she is killed in front of him and in his rage, he transforms into ZET, something that is seen as a murderous Player. He does this by chewing a special gum but later in the series, he can transform at will after a stake is placed in his heart.

All the while, ZET fights against other players and especially The Sweeper, a player that serves EVOL, a company that is hell-bent on capturing Jin. The Sweeper has enough power to destroy any player he comes across.

Then there is Kouga Amagi, or Alphas. He is the older brother of Konoha and the love interest of ZET. He is sporty, kind natured and wears a special mech-suit that keeps him projected from the Players. While he is not in the same power league as ZET himself, he does have the Alpha suit and is able to support ZET to a certain degree. With his high-tech weaponry, he also helped to engineer the stake that lets Jin transform to and from ZET mode without having to rely on any special gum.

The main villain though is Seiji Haitani or Anvil. He looks like an angelic being when in Player form, but with demon wings. He also has an eye in the middle of his chest which he uses to send piercing laser beams at his opponents. Truly, he is a brutal character with no remorse for human life.

The anime is different to the manga series and as such, is far less brutal then the extremely mature-rated comic adventures of Zetman. Many have even compared it to Batman in both tone and context, as Kouga is the rich-kid with superhero ambitions. It’s also been described as a brutal adventure shrouded in profound darkness.

Zetman is also one of the most popular of all Manga’s in Japan, having sold well over 3.5-million copies and is now on it’s 15th volume.

Now that you know about Zetman Manga, you can collect the series online or hunt down the paperback, if you’re savvy enough.
