The official website for the anime 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 this is an anime with an adult feel, featuring a heavier theme of murder within a normal family. In other words, we can expect an unusual story with a suspenseful style seen in Japanese films. Seinen tend to be picky, 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 learns that he is a member of a crime syndicate with a history of murdering his ex-girlfriends. Filled with anger and fear at the thought of his daughter being in danger, Tetsuo makes a decision with no turning back.
