Myheroacaima Stories

n the heart of the Red Zone, four children-each running from a painful past-cross paths for the first time. Eight-year-old Daiko has fled the foster system, Kouta escaped a neglectful home, Kenzo left an abusive father, and five-year-old Anaya ran from an alcoholic uncle. Alone, scared, and surviving in a world that doesn't forgive mistakes, they find an unlikely sense of safety in one another.

Aika Ryūsei is six years old, dragon-hybrid, and very good at surviving. After her pro-hero parents die in the line of duty, the foster system teaches her one thing: being different is dangerous. By the time she runs away, she knows how to hide her scales, swallow her fire, and keep moving. She doesn't expect kindness when hunger drives her to steal a wallet from a stranger. She definitely doesn't expect that stranger to be Hizashi Yamada. Sometimes saving someone doesn't look like a battlefield. Sometimes it looks like lunch.

Years after the Hero Commission removed Takami Keigo from his home and shaped him into the hero known as Hawks, they return to close the last loose end of his past-his mother. What they find instead is a child they never knew existed. Hikari Takami is three years old, stubborn, feral, and already manifesting a quirk too familiar to ignore. With her mother no longer capable of care, the Commission makes a calculated decision: place the child with Hawks, sell it to the public as a story of "family preserved," and quietly correct an oversight they should have noticed years ago. For Hawks, the sister he never knew becomes a complication he was never trained to handle-one that turns missions into negotiations, silence into responsibility, and a manufactured image into something dangerously real. As the Commission watches closely and the public smiles approvingly, Hawks must decide whether he will continue to be their perfect asset-or become something far more difficult to control: a brother.
