''An American Superhero in Japan'' was a [[Fanfic]] written by Troper [[Tropers/Sijo|Sijo]] that is about [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]- the adventures (and misadventures) of an American superhero who finds himself having to live in Japan- a Japan based on the one from [[Anime]], that is. It was the first of a planned series but personal matters prevented him from doing more than the first chapter; he has plans to eventually continue it.
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
The story is about [[Telekinesis|Psion]], a young hero from New York who feels unappreciated in America, where superheroes are a dime a dozen. He goes to Japan for a vacation only to discover that the country is having problems with a [[Villain Team-Up|Villain Alliance]] known as The Makkai; the authorities cannot seem to get the various Japanese superheroes to work with them to combat the menace (because they are mostly [[I Work Alone|lone wolves]]) so The [[Kaiju Defense Force|Japanese Self Defense Force]] asks for Psion’s help instead. Deciding that this is his chance to finally be respected for his efforts, he accepts. Of course, this means he’s now going to have to live in a country that is [[Japanese Media Tropes|stranger than he imagines]]. Will he find success (and love!) or will his expectations be crushed? And how will the people of Japan react to ''him''?

The characters were created by Sijo with help in names and design from his friend Fractyl. And of course, [[Tv Tropes Will Enhance Your Life|with research done in TV Tropes!]]
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* Ep. Three: After Learning that a baby whale has been captured for exploitation (and [[We All Live in America|shocked to learn that this is legal in Japan]]) Psion, despite fearing that his personal plans will be ruined, decides to free it. Except when he gets where it is kept, he finds that a mysterious girl with magical abilities has beaten him to it! [[Magical Girlfriend|Is he fated to meet her again?]]

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of [[Anime]] and [[Comic Books]] (but with serious action scenes).
* Animesque: the chapters are written in the style of a Japanese Animated series, including having an "opening theme" (yet to be written) and "commercial breaks". Also, [[Written Sound Effect|Written Sound Effects]], a personal quirk of the author's.
