Imagine a world in need of a chosen hero to go on an epic quest and defeat a great evil.

Maybe he was picked by a holy sword, part of an ancient prophecy or summoned to a different world to battle an evil Sorcerer, defeat a Demon Lord or rescue a princess.

Now imagine that there are many dimensions and alternate universes filled with worlds in need of heroes, and each of those chosen to be “The Hero” are connected across space and time by their own version of Reddit.


Hero Union BBS is just as its title implies. It’s about a Bulletin Board System for Heroes.

Active Heroes, those who are still on their journey, and Retired Heroes who have already completed their quest, can create threads and talk with each other. Heroes ask other heroes for tips to help them beat their world’s boss, and a few Retired Heroes look after others by giving advice or by providing emotional support and encouragement.

Each chapter of Hero Union BBS is a story of a different hero, told via the conversations they have in threads with other heroes. The stories are wacky and are usually about problems you wouldn’t think heroes would face, such as accidentally being summoned as the hero in an old video game because of a glitch, being a part of a dysfunctional party, or having far too many bosses to beat.

The characters in Hero Union come in all types, a wide variety of heroes of different backgrounds. Some of these chosen heroes are Knights, Nobles, Shrine Maidens and Mages, but others are Office Workers, Students, Robots, even a Demon Lord. Because each chapter is a new story, new characters are introduced regularly, but there are many reoccurring characters. And they are all fun and likable.

There are a lot of funny manga out there about heroes going on a journey fight Demons or are summoned to different worlds, but Hero Union BBS is a bit different from them. It’s structured as a conversation and tells the stories of dozens of different heroes.

It’s a very funny and enjoyable manga and it's definitely worth reading.

This manga is one of the more original takes on the Isekai Genre. After reading a lot of generic Isekai mangas the author probably wondered, 'What if they all meet together at 4chan'?

You don't read this manga for the story, you read it for the characters. Imagine a reddit thread except they are all Heroes and that come from another world? Seeing the reactions of the posters on the thread is what makes this manga so damn enjoyable.

You got the troll, the guy who knows everything and the ordinary Heroes who looks like they are having a blast after retiring and helping out the new heroes.

I wish this manga was a lot longer. I want to read more about the backstory of the Bulletin Board System, how the heroes who get sent to Berserk-like world manage and the answer to Who exactly is Student?
