HERO HUNTER

The latest opm chapter aligns with the webcomic's ch106, finally setting things up for the upcoming Neo Heroes arc, and Genos gets his new body!

The heroes who ignored Garou's pain are none other than... the ones who refused to even acknowledge their son when he was in custody, much less get him.

Bullying is one thing, but the lack of care and support from his parents really did a number on the way Garou sees the world, and what should have been an unpleasant thing in the past became the nucleus of something that poisoned both the way he saw himself and the world (literally, in the end). He's drawn older than he is, but Garou is a kid trying to make sense of what's wrong with him that the people he loves and desperately wants to admire reject him so.

No matter what happens next in his story, I think this next phase of his life will see Garou unraveling that tangled ball of his that has conflated parents, heroes, heroic representations in the media and himself into one ball of pain. Good. He can't fix his parents, but cruel shadow they've cast over his life, he can learn how to step out from that.
