The official website for the My Home Hero has revealed the first preview, cast, staff, and premiere date for April 2023.
Check out the preview
Despite being a rather modest preview, we can see that it's an anime with a mature tone, dealing with a heavier theme of murder within the context of a seemingly normal family. In other words, we can expect an unconventional story with a suspenseful style reminiscent of Japanese films. The seinen tends to be discerning, but My Home Hero seems to have potential.
Synopsis
Tetsuo Tosu, an ordinary salaryman, discovers that his daughter, Reika, has been physically abused by her boyfriend, Nobuto Matori. Trying to learn more about him, Tetsuo uncovers Matori's scheme to extort money from Reika's wealthy grandparents and discovers he is a member of a crime syndicate with a history of murdering his ex-girlfriends. Filled with rage and fear at the thought of his daughter being in danger, Tetsuo makes a decision of no return.
