Heroes stand beneath the spotlight."
"He protects from the shadows."
Ever since he was a child, Torao Kageyama has lived by one rule:
Protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Gifted with the Mutation Quirk Puma, Torao possesses the strength, speed, and instincts of an apex predator. Towering over his classmates at U.A. High School, his silent nature and intimidating appearance have earned him a reputation long before anyone learns the truth about him.
To villains...
He is Erebus.
The shadow that strikes without warning.
The hero who hunts in the darkness.
But behind the glowing amber eyes and razor-sharp claws lies a compassionate young man who would rather carry the burden himself than watch someone else suffer.
As friendships are forged, rivalries ignite, and the League of Villains begins setting its sights on U.A., Torao finds himself growing closer to the one person who refuses to judge him by appearances-
Momo Yaoyorozu.
Her brilliance challenges his instincts.
His unwavering resolve strengthens her confidence.
Together, they'll discover that true heroism isn't measured by popularity or power...
It's measured by the lives you're willing to protect.
As darkness spreads across hero society and a new predator emerges from the shadows, one question remains:
Can the Midnight Guardian protect everyone...
...without losing himself?
