Not fully reclusive, like some of the "Kurusu" people seem to be, but very awkward with other people, Hideo talks to an imaginary friend. We spend a lot of time with him at the start of the ZQN attacks, almost moving from moment to moment with him as he makes good and bad decisions. We're set up to think Hideo Suzuki is the book's hero from the beginning, though, as the frustrated manga creator faces several personal problems during a growing zombie outbreak that he believes he is imagining. They make a solid team, acting heroically together. "Who is the 'hero' of I Am a Hero?" becomes a big question after our courageous trio of Hideo, Hiromi, and Nurse Yabu comes together and realizes that the antibodies in Hiromi’s system could possibly save humanity. It was long con, starting with I Am a Hero chapter 1 and continuing for 264 chapters.

Editor Philip Simon leaves us with these final thoughts on the series. This Zombie Apocalypse Fooled Us By Philip Simon I Am A Hero, by Kengo Hanazawa, ends this week with Volume 11.
