'''''Zetman''''' is a manga series created by Masakazu Katsura, currently serialized in Young Jump, where it also premiered in 2002. Though the series was created by the same guy responsible for ''[[Video Girl Ai]]'' and ''[[I''s]]'', Zetman is closer to fellow-Seinen series ''[[Berserk]]'' in its story and art.
 
The series focuses on two teens, Jin Kanazaki and Kouga Amagi, who combat the demonic 'Players', creatures created, and currently hunted, by the Amagi Corporation. Jin was the last experiment conducted by scientist Gorou Kanzaki, who escaped from the Amagi Corporation when he found out that they intended to exterminate their creations. Though Gorou wished nothing more than for Jin to live out a normal life, he is pulled into combat as a teenager, upon realizing his powers as the eponymous Zetman. Kouga is the intended heir of the Amagi Corporation, and has long dreamed of becoming a superhero due to a childhood of cartoons and comic books. He eventually does just that using a variety of nifty gadgets, calling himself Alphas after his favorite childhood hero. The two protagonists are often found in opposition to one another due to their conflicting methods and personalities.
