Synopsis
Middle-aged office worker becomes reluctant Superman, fighting everyday troubles; declining manga artist faints after hole-in-one.
Superman: One day, Saenochi, an ordinary middle-aged office worker, is stalked by an elderly man who calls himself "Superman'' and begs him to follow in his footsteps and become Superman. Saenochi did not take it seriously and did not deal with it, but when he learned of his daughter's crisis, he reluctantly agreed to take it on. The "super clothes'' he inherited have various abilities, and he has to use them to fight day and night for justice, in between work and home. However, the opponents that Saenai fights are not evil organizations or monsters, but only everyday troubles. Future: Once a popular manga artist, Rihito Noto was on the verge of declining after the serial manga "Jikū Senki'', which he had devoted his entire career to writing, was discontinued. He had no hope in his daily life, and for many years it seemed like he was sustaining his life through inertia. One day, Nato makes a hole-in-one, hole-in-one at the publisher's golf competition that he participated in, causing him to faint from shock.
