Where it came from
Ratman was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Ace starting in 2007. Created by manga artist Inui Sekihiko, the series explores the intersection of traditional superhero tropes and the cynicism of modern commercialization. It centers on a teenager named Shuto Katsuragi who, despite his aspiration to become a hero, is manipulated into becoming the villainous Ratman for a clandestine organization.
Sekihiko utilized a sharp, action-oriented art style that leans into the aesthetic of tokusatsu dramas, which heavily influenced the narrative's structure. The series was designed to deconstruct the archetype of the masked protector, contrasting the protagonist's genuine desire to do good with the corrupt reality of the entertainment industry he inhabits. While it occupies a niche space within the shōnen genre, it is recognized for its thematic focus on identity and the moral ambiguity of fame.
