About the Series:
Uglymug, Epicfighter (Busamen Gachi Faita) is based on the Japanese web novel by Ryo Hiromatsu, originally serialized on Shosetsuka ni Naro from 2015 to 2022. A light novel version, featuring illustrations by Akira Banpai, was published by Kobunsha in May 2018.
The series also inspired a manga adaptation illustrated by Osamu Kozuki, which ran in Square Enix’s Monthly Big Gangan from 2017 to 2020. It has been compiled into six volumes and is available in English on the Manga UP! Global app.
A sequel manga titled Busamen Gachi Fighter SSS, also by Kozuki, launched in Monthly Big Gangan in December 2024.
Plot Summary:
The story follows Shigeru Yoshioka, a man whose unattractive appearance is rated at -255. In a fantasy world where even touching girls causes him physical pain and intimacy could tear him apart, Shigeru gains unmatched combat power. What he lacks in looks, he more than makes up for in strength—leading to an epic adventure packed with action, humor, and unexpected twists.
