Aizawa Kiyoko has spent her life in the shadow of heroes. Born to a pro hero father, her world is steeped in capes, glory, and danger. Yet, Kiyoko harbors a profound hatred for heroes, seeing them as reckless and selfish individuals who abandon their families for strangers, all while perpetuating a never-ending cycle of violence. Her father, Shota Aizawa, embodies everything she despises: a man who sacrificed his health, his family, and his life for a cause she doesn't believe in.
When Kiyoko crosses paths with Shoto Todoroki, everything begins to change. Shoto is not the glory-seeking hero she's grown to resent; he's someone fighting against his own demons, determined to rewrite his story and escape his father's shadow. Through him, Kiyoko starts to question her long-held beliefs about heroism and its purpose.
As their worlds collide, Kiyoko is forced to confront her hatred, her fears, and the possibility of finding strength in the very ideals she swore to reject. Can a girl who loathes heroes learn to see their humanity? And can a boy burdened by scars teach her that heroism is not about being flawless but about rising despite one's imperfections?
A story of redemption, love, and resilience, Kiyoko explores the complex journey of two individuals navigating the grey between right and wrong, and what it truly means to be a hero.
