Ressentiment

Ressentiment

Earlier work by I am a Hero artist Kengo Hanazawa. Main character Takuro is a typical Hanazawa protagonist. He’s middle-aged, overweight, and balding low self esteem guy in a shitty job. Takuro ends up escaping into the virtual world with a virtual girlfriend named Tsukiko.

I think Hanazawa really relishes in protagonists who are borderline terrible people. Hideo from I am a Hero shares Takuro’s traits of being wishy-washy. This book reminds me a lot of Erichin’s Mitamura-kun series.
