Tsuyoshi - Daremo Katenai, Aitsu ni wa

Tsuyoshi - Daremo Katenai, Aitsu ni wa, authored by Maruyama Kyosuke, began its serialization in the digital manga magazine Cycomi in 2017. The series follows the life of Tsuyoshi, a man of extraordinary and accidental strength who finds himself inadvertently defeating elite fighters, martial arts masters, and various antagonists without ever intending to enter a conflict. It emerged during a period of rising popularity for subversions of traditional shonen combat manga, focusing more on the humor and absurdity of overpowered characters navigating mundane life rather than the standard progression of tournament arcs.

Maruyama Kyosuke’s design choices for the manga lean into a contrast between Tsuyoshi’s unassuming, almost mundane appearance and the hyper-stylized, intense portrayals of the challengers he faces. The series was well-received for its comedic pacing and the way it deconstructs the 'strongest character' trope, eventually leading to a physical print release and a television drama adaptation. The manga is recognized for its unique blend of slapstick humor and action, grounded by the protagonist's persistent desire to live a quiet, normal life despite his uncontrollable physical prowess.
