The Impossible Man

""Who is The Impossible Man?""

- Yuki Shimizu

The Impossible Man, written by H-M Brown, is a Science Fiction Comedy, Web Original Novel.

It follows the story of Michael Garcia, who is nicknamed The Impossible Man, and owns a store called The Impossible Man's Anime and Manga Shop, set in the fictional Denfair City, New Jersey. He has a special ability that no one can truly explain nor comprehend. By using that power in his store one day, he attracted many new customers around the world, and a set of unwanted problems.

The story starts off with Michael Garcia's store already established and finds himself receiving a new employee hired by his mother, without his knowledge. From there on, new problems fall on Michael's lap, on top of the problems he already had since his store's rise to popularity.

The Impossible Man has self-contained Chapters, or Episodes as the author labels them, that each explore a specific aspect of Pop Culture from the United States, Japan, and Latin America, and turns it on its head, from a Comedy Anime perspective.

As the story warns, The Impossible Man is not for the logic minded and the common sense.

Not to be confused with this Superhero team's Arch Enemy of the same name.

Not to be confused with the 1966 science-fiction short-story collection of the same name, by J. G. Ballard.
